QLC for long-term storage ?

MiniSpipB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

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.
