- QVO is cheaper than EVO
- QVO is slightly slower than EVO by 2%
- QVO has 3 years warranty instead of 5 years for EVO
- QVO becomes almost as slow as a HDD when it runs out of Cache Memory. It can happen when you copy 80GB file.
If you need big storage, but you don’t usually work with very large file; If you don’t mind cutting off 2 years warranty to save some extra dollars, we suggest you should buy the QVO instead of EVO, because the speed is almost identical.
