To me this is ideal drive for storage / backup / media purposes plus it's noise less (NOTE: dunno how it behave as "external" offline storage, but that's not my use case so, just saying).
Taking into consideration prices of 4TB SSD this line (at that capacity, and ideally 6-8TB) is nice offering.
IMHO for 1TB this is bad deal, 2TB is questionable, 4TB is good as long as this is media storage use case.
Of course there will be price shift in EVO/QVO drives at some point because I think QVO is priced to closely to EVO and for serious workload it's not good (but that's yet to be seen as there is very little data regarding endurance etc. for these drives, but I don't think there will be anything surprising here as mostly this is EVO controller with QLC).
