QLC literally drops write endurance by an order of magnitude but most consumers won’t be hit by it. Most of the performance is from the SLC cache and it tanks once it gets full or with sustained usage. The bet is that won’t matter for 99% of users but most of HN is not that 99% so caution must be exercised when buying these SSDs.
