Long-Term Review: Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSDs

2025-09-17

This review shares the long-term experience of using four Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSDs in a home server and backup setup. Manufactured in 2021, these drives have shown excellent performance, maintaining write speeds of 140-170 MB/s even under heavy load. One drive reported 4 bad blocks, but overall, they've written over 170TB of data, far from their 1440TBW endurance limit. While prices have dropped, they remain slightly more expensive than competing drives, but offer consistently reliable performance.

Ubuntu's Snap Nightmare: Why I Switched to Fedora

2025-02-05

For a long time, Ubuntu was my go-to Linux distro. However, starting around 2016, every upgrade brought its share of problems, ranging from minor icon glitches to complete system crashes. The worst upgrade even resulted in my mother's laptop needing a Windows reinstall.

Canonical's aggressive push of Snaps only exacerbated the issues. Snaps' automatic updates and conflicts with traditional Debian packages led to numerous compatibility problems and functional failures, significantly impacting productivity. I even witnessed a colleague lose an entire workday due to GNOME desktop environment Snap issues.

In contrast, Flatpak's implementation is far more reasonable. I eventually switched to Fedora, which, while not perfect, has proven stable and reliable, and my experience so far has been positive. Hopefully, Canonical will reconsider its approach to building a Linux distro.
