Samsung QVC

Formatted it for a single logical partition, and transferred a couple
of files. Not initially impressive, and considerably slower than
expected for comparable SATA, though smaller, 256G SSD drives that do
well enough for a third faster. Including another but better Samsung
EVO non-Pro series, both similarly sized, as the QVC, at 1T.

Shouldn't be much longer and I'll have ready additionally material to
supplement a temporary HP 256G, almost filled, where the QVC is
intended. Three older mechanical 1T drives kept in reserve and largely
unused, failed miserably for extended usage, as they're unstable if at
best marginally even suited for continued "shelf storage" units able
to power themselves up.

I'll know then, over a 300G transfer session, what the QVC thruput is
capable to sustain. Not at any critical juncture, as it'll serve
largely for a read application, by far and below from a 500 minimal
cycled redundancy rewrite capacity it's rated.

However, the QVC price was the same as the EVO purchased on a sale.
And whereas the EVO may range now from 25-50% at an additional cost
premium, that 25%, possibly lower, becomes increasingly a token of
speed benefits rated for 5 or 6 times higher for write redundancy.

Of course for simply everyone things do always seem to fly
ecstatically along, if faster than believable, at least on review
benchmarks they're thrilled to post. DRAM caching, possibly not and
withstanding, I'll settle for hypothetical long-term storage security,
over the three unreliable mechanical HDDs. I don't see the reason to
call Samsung and question their quality control for questionable QVC
speeds, if and sustainability quite skewed apart from the EVO model,
when I bought the QVC on principle for quality assurances.

Doubtful or not, I expect to know upon moving 300G data off the HP SSD
unit, whether might that occur over closer to 15 or longer by 30
minutes. (With a fan: unfortunately the HP's partiality is to
overhead at 130F, at which juncture the apparently design is to drop
read transfer thruputs by half;- haven't run it hot on writes yet. The
thought of turning the HP into alternative design usages, from new and
cheap USB2/3 SDD adaptors, is certainly among reasonable allowance to
adopt it for a stepchild.)
