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.
See Computerbase test:

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.
