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

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-18 11:03:18

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

Tiny, removable "mini SSD" could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds

Earlier this year, Nintendo helped popularize the microSD Express standard by requiring it for the new Switch 2 console.

Worried your data could fall into the wrong hands? A company has developed an M.2 SSD storage drive that can self-destruct by frying its own memory.

Upgrading an M4 Pro Mac mini's storage for half the price

A few months ago, I upgraded my M4 Mac mini from 1 to 2 TB of internal storage, using a then-$269 DIY upgrade kit from ExpandMacMini. At the time, there was no option for upgrading the M4 Pro Mac mini, despite it also using a user-replaceable, socketed storage drive. But the folks at M4-SSD reached out and asked if I'd be willing to test out one of their new M4 Pro upgrades, in this case, upgrading the mini I use at the studio for editing from a stock 512 GB SSD to 4 TB.
