Thanks for clarifying.
Cashback is over mate.
Thanks for clarifying
Very tempting!! As I could do with an upgrade to my current setup still packing a 256gb boot drive SSD.
Comparable price to the new Samsung 860 QVO's coming soon that can be pre-ordered now. Read/write looks similar but no idea if general performance is better or worse with the new generation that seems to be focusing on capacity. To wait or not to wait?!
According to Anandtech, QVO is slightly slower than the EVO.

Dont get the qvo plz, life cycles is gonna be crap
The new ones are worse in every respect. Long term when they're a bit older, I'd expect them to be cheaper. Eg, in ~12 months time I'd expect the QVO's to be going for $99 ish 1TB. But the EVO's would decrease less over time.
At the moment the QVO's are selling for RRP which is a terrible deal because you can buy the better EVO's for less than the QVO RRP, so I expect this to change once they really get volume into all the channels and places start discounting them.
My thoughts exactly - will steer clear until we start seeing discounts on the QVO but once we start getting into $100/TB territory I think these will be great value as replacement storage drives, while the EVO would still be the preference for OS and important apps/games.
QVO just came down $25 at Centrecom https://www.centrecom.com.au/samsung-860-qvo-1tb-25-sata-ssd…, now $175 delivered
