What is the exact difference between the QLC (quad-level cells) and TLC (triple-level cell) storage types? Which is more recommendable?

Here are the basics (QLC is not (yet) on it, it just has one bit more to TLC):

QLC becomes extremely slow when slicing when the fast SLC cache is full.

If you write very little and small bites to the SSD (i.e. mostly read), why not. If you need a normal all-round SSD, then go for the 860EVO.
