Looking for more silence and more importantly: Less vibrations and humming noises, I’m thinking about replacing my 5 HDDs (10 to 16TB) with SSDs.
Considering Samsung QVO 8TB for their capacity at an acceptable $ / TB price.
But…
I’m a bit wary of QLC.
What’s your experience with long-term QLC usage ?
I’m not looking for performance (have 2 NVMEs for that), but reliable, long duration hoarding of medias. Though, there will be quite a bit of writing / overwriting.
Samsung + QLC is a bad combination, don’t expect them to be reliable as cold storage.
Samsung easily has the best and most reliable consumer SSDs. Their manufacturing, firmware, and history for SSDs is very good.
