Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s: how are they doing after 4 years of use?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-20 03:03:18

I’ve been running four Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s for a while now. They’re old enough to be popping up on the second-hand market, so I thought it would be good to provide a few additional data points for those thinking about buying one. Mine have mainly been used in a home server setting, with one also being used as a backup drive at times. I initially got these drives because I found the noise that hard drives generated to be unacceptably high in a small apartment. They’re also quite a bit

Europe wants to turn Digital Euro (CBDC) into a stablecoin

Europe had first-mover advantage with stablecoins.

Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on his screen. They pulsed, grew and blossomed into monarch butterflies. As the two butterflies grew, they smashed into each other, and one got the worst of it; its wing withered away. But just as it seemed like a goner, the mutilated butterfly did a kind of backflip and grew a new wing like a salamander regrowing a lost leg. Mordvintsev, a research scientist at Google in Zurich, had not deliberately bred his virtual butterflies to regenerate
