The 9100 PRO SSD boasts lightning-fast PCIe 5.0, enabling the drive to achieve up to 14,800/13,400 MB/s sequential read/write speeds – moving data twice as fast as the previous generation.

Man will love to see some test results. Looks like this blows every other consumer nvme out of the water.
 
Hopefully this is a solid PCIe 5.0 controller, and not an overclocked, overheating PCIe 4.0 controller being pushed into service.

Give it six months for the inevitably fatal Samsung firmware bugs to get addressed and should be good to go!
 
Hopefully they also include a winning lottery ticket because I doubt a fast 8TB is going to be "affordable".
 
At this point, I don't particularly care about sustained sequential read / write, and I don't care about 8TB.

What is the random 4k performance?
What is the latency of the NAND?
How much DRAM cache does it have?

If those values are market leading, I'm fine with a 1TB drive or a 8TB drive.

It's on the article. Go read it man. The random speed is 2gb a sec. Cache is based on size.

lol, caught me just reading the headline in the news section here. I'd prefer MLC, but I suppose TLC isn't terrible. Might be worth grabbing the 8TB model just for the larger cache size.

You go 8... I MIGHT go 4TB... just to get the base speed out of it.

Four seems to be the sweet spot at the moment. 990 Pro 4TB drives regularly hit US$300 as an example. Also don't want to go much lower given M.2 slot limitations IMO.
 
Well the random 4k multi thread is just over 2 gig the cache is based on the size.
