SSD (SLC, MLC, QLC etc)

[Rowan88]

Hi,

I was going to replace my HDD with SSD in my current PC (and use for my future upgrade) but I was looking at 2TB SSD yesterday and I was probably going with either the Samsung 870 QVO or Crucial.

But I noticed someone saying something about "Make sure the drive is not QLC as these are a lot slower.

Are these drives QLC?

And if so what is a good 2TB SSD (SATA) to purchase. Will mostly be installing all my games on it.

Cheers,

So as its for gaming I shouldn't really be concerned about the "type", Just go for brand-price-warranty-size.

Thanks for the info,

Would love to hold off till my new system but GPU is the first part needed and could be waiting a while (until I crack and overpay £300).

I just assumed a simple 2TB SATA would be an easy transfer for this system, even if it got used a storage drive in the next machine and bought what you linked above as my Gaming folder.

Cheers
