Looking for more silence and more importantly: Less vibrations and humming noises, I'm thinking about replacing my 5 HDDs (10 to 16TB) with SSDs.
Considering Samsung QVO 8TB for their capacity at an acceptable $ / TB price.
But...
I'm a bit wary of QLC.
What's your experience with long-term QLC usage ?
I'm not looking for performance (have 2 NVMEs for that), but reliable, long duration hoarding of medias. Though, there will be quite a bit of writing / overwriting.
Well it's not exactly "long-term", but I have been running a DIY NAS 24/7 using a 4 TB Samsung QVO für 4+ years with close to 50 TB writes. The drive has held up perfectly so far with zero performance or reliability issues.
