Frequently Asked Questions

Is QLC NAND as fast as TLC for heavy write workloads?

QLC prioritizes capacity and cost efficiency; it's well suited to read-heavy and bulk storage use rather than sustained heavy write workloads.

Does this drive support encryption?

Yes, it includes AES-256 hardware encryption.

For anyone who needs serious storage capacity without an NVMe price tag, the 870 QVO packs a genuinely large amount of usable space into a drive that drops straight into existing SATA bays.
