Samsung Reveals 860 Pro 4TB SSD on its Website Listing
Samsung has unwittingly released some specs and product images of the as of yet unannounced SSD product. The 860 Pro SSD carries the model number MZ-76P4T0E, and has a pretty impressive 4 TB capacity that's sure to deliver the highest performance possible on the SATA III interface. The stated performance levels stand at 560 MB/s read speeds, and 530 MB/s write, which should be more than enough for most usage tasks. Pricing is also more than enough, and then some; Samsung is quoting a $1,899 pricing for this particular drive.

Going forward, let others try out updates 2-4 weeks before you dive in. I apply this practice to everything from graphics drivers to WSUS updates at work. It works well.
3.8TB 5100 is $1650 and that gives you full power protection.
And in consumer workloads you get 0 benefit from what the 5100 brings. You get 10 times the endurance (almost definitely overkill for a normal PC), and better power protection. But sacrifice overall performance, power consumption in idle (which is what a normal PC does most of the time), and things like the SLC cache. I know enterprise sounds cool but you're better off with a much cheaper (by ~$400) 4TB Samsung 850 EVO. I moved from a 5100 PRO to an 840 EVO (workstation usage) and I'm pleased with the improvement.
Right tool for the right job I guess.
