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.
