8TB SSD recommendation?

Hi again, do you recommend any 8TB or similar size (7.68TB)? I've seen these 3:

• Samsung 870 QVO SSD 8TB SATA3 (~850€): it's a very slow SSD once you fill the variable SLC buffer (TurboWrite cache). Probably not recommended. Samsung 870 QVO 1 TB Review - Terrible, Do Not Buy. Also Samsung 870 QVO SATA SSD Review: Taking Baby Steps With QLC (Updated).
  
• Western Digital Gold 7.68TB SSD NVMe PCIe Gen 3.1 x4 (~1800€).
  
• Corsair MP400 8TB SSD M.2 NVMe PCIE Gen3 x4 (~1670€)

Latest two look nice quality, but outrageously expensive. Any ideas? 4TB sizes are not enough for me so they are discarded. I want a big chunk in one piece, no RAID or low reliability cases.

 

Sabrent Rocket Q is a contender.

 

Corsair MP400 8TB Gen3 PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 SSD 3D QLC NAND is now at €1263. Great price drop.

 

if you plan to be a boot drive or game drive, any of the 8TB are decent choice when priced right. if for backup then I would recommend none atm.

 

Any of them not running scorching hot?

 

even scorching hot is fine, thats the way OEM want it for their consumers. its like recommending BGA laptop to general consumers, they have no need to know those thing and chances are they probably won't care.

 

Maybe 40 degrees Celsius is hot for your body temperature, but unless it's not bad for the Silicon or causes data degradation, I would be fine with it. Maybe you can use liquid cooling.

 

it would not be 40C and if it is, something likely wrong with censor or you have got a heatsink over it entirely with fan blowing on it, which is a big no no.

controller need to be cool just like any other controller but flash needs to stay hot, enough temp to not lower it's minuscule QLC write lifespan but not hot enough to melt low quality solder if they do use one.

 

Anything SSD bigger then 2TB is solar expensive compared to HDD of 8tb drives. HDD at this point wins in this department. I think a 4tb SSD would be great but price wise HDD is the way to go for storage. And remember heat is the enemy for all devices SSD or HDD they are electrical and heat isn't their friend.

Are we talking Desktop or Laptop? They do have 8tb HDD right now but a 8tb SSD that would be outrageous pricing to boot. And if your using it just for storage a 8tb in Desktop does just fine. I use 8tb Seagate Archive v2 and they work just fine in my Desktop. One shouldn't need that big unless that is the Main Drive and only slot in laptop. But even then trusting a 8tb of data without backup is asking for trouble.

 

A year or two ago I got an 8TB Micron 5210 SSD and it's been great, but it's a SATA 2.5" so probably not what you're looking for. It's around $928 on amazon which is almost 100 more than I paid for it way back!
