Will I get support?
Ramcity backs all our SSDs locally. You can call us any time on 02 93915201 to get help installing, cloning or for advice. Seriously, we answer the phone. We are bringing back old fashion service wrapped up in an online tech company!!
Most customers want to clone their current drive onto a new SSD. Samsung Magician software ships with this SSD, is compatible with Windows 10 and 11. However our the cloning software we recommend is Macrium X . For Apple Mac users we recommend Carbon Copy Cloner (14 day free trial) or SuperDuper!
If you have a desktop that allows you to install two drives, you can clone internally. For everyone else, you will need an external case or an external cable, commonly called a clone cable.
The procedure for a PC is: use clone cable to attach new SSD to PC via USB port. Install Macium, clone from old drive to new drive. When finished install the SSD and reboot.
The procedure for a Mac is: use clone cable to attach new SSD to PC via USB port. Install CCC or SuperDuper! and clone from old drive to new drive. When finished install the SSD and reboot.
The Samsung 870 EVO and 870 QVO are both popular SSDs, but they have some key differences:
1. NAND Type:
- 870 EVO: Uses Samsung's V-NAND (3-bit MLC) technology, which offers better performance and endurance.
- 870 QVO: Utilizes QLC (4-bit) NAND, which allows for higher storage density but generally has lower performance and endurance compared to MLC.
2. Performance:
- 870 EVO: Typically offers better read and write speeds, with sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s and write speeds up to 530 MB/s.
- 870 QVO: While it also provides good speeds (up to 550 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write), its performance can degrade more quickly with heavy workloads, especially when the SLC cache is full.
3. Endurance:
- 870 EVO: Generally has a higher endurance rating (measured in TBW - terabytes written), making it more suitable for heavy use and workloads.
- 870 QVO: Has a lower endurance rating due to its QLC technology, which means it may not handle as many write cycles over its lifetime.
4. Target Use Case:
- 870 EVO: Ideal for users who need reliable performance for tasks like gaming, content creation, or frequent data transfers.
- 870 QVO: Better suited for storage-heavy applications where high capacity is prioritized over performance, such as media libraries or general storage.
5. Price:
- The 870 QVO tends to be more affordable per gigabyte due to its QLC technology and larger storage capacities (up to 8TB), while the 870 EVO may be priced higher but offers better performance and longevity.
In summary, if performance and endurance are crucial for your needs, the 870 EVO is the better choice. If you're looking for high capacity at a lower cost and can manage with slightly lower performance, the 870 QVO is a good option.
