I obtained this information from a Digital Trends post. Because I research everything into the ground before buying LOL!!! In, general, EVO will last longer, and will write faster after a certain point. Based on Samsung's Intelligent Turbowrite technology, they both will perform basically the same up to 42-72 GB written, then the QVO will slow down a little. The QVO is best suited to read intensive work loads, but will lag behind on write intensive work loads. It stated that the everyday user will probably not notice a significant difference. I have found this to be true. I use the QVO to store and play games on my gaming pc. It is obviously slower than my M.2 NVME drives (970 EVO Pro)(x2), which I use for the OS and my favorite games. On the QVO my game loads a little slower, but I don't notice a difference while actually playing the games. For me it was about the price point for the amount of storage I was getting. I needed a lot of storage and didn't want a typical HDD, which is much much cheaper, but also so much slower. I've had it installed about a month or so I guess, and have had no problems with it so far. Would recommend if looking for a budget SSD. I bought the 2TB model.

The EVO product line makes use of TLC NAND (3 data bits/cell), while the QVO line makes use of QLC (4 data bits/cell). Both the QVO and EVO drives make use of Samsung’s Intelligent TurboWrite system.
