Samsung Not Working on 970 Pro NVMe SSD in 2 TB Capacities In Contrast to Retailer Leaks
Update: April 29, 2019: A representative on behalf of Samsung contacted us to let us know that the company has not released a 2 TB version of the 970 Pro, and has no current plans to do so either. It appears that the retail leaks were not accurate after all. The original story is below for records.
A year after it has introduced the first versions of its 970 Pro NVMe SSD, Samsung is finally updating its lineup with a 2 TB SKU. Previous generation models always saw a 2 TB solution being made available, so the absence of such a model in the 970 Pro series was a bit amiss.
Two webshops (one German, one Chinese) have already listed the part with its own SKU number, so it really is incoming to the worldwide market. If you're looking for a solid storage option that replaces a hard-drive in terms of storage density, this could be the one for you. A price around the €940 mark is likely to be close to the actual number.

i also bought a 2 tb normal sata ssd to go in a dell precision laptop.. that cost about £200..
the 2 tb 970 pro does seem a tad expensive.. :)

thats what they are worth to me but that has f=ck all to do with what they should cost.. :)

These prosumer drives are for real write intensive work(the product is called the 970 Pro, not the 970 RBG GAMER 1337 edition) like hours video of rendering every day, multiple heavily used databases or virtual machines, not storing games... These are the type of workloads that will annihilate an ordinary consumer ssd before the expected warranty period is up. Plus those warranty periods are usually defined as X number of years OR X number of TB written, whichever comes first.

Also, QLC drives (not the case here) take endurance to new lows ;)

And again, absolutely not a problem, very few people use their SDDs (or even HDDs) like that. But for those that do, imho the things need to be mentioned. Not as a warning, but as a reference.
PS I wish XPoint would take off, those things have write endurance that make write endurance not worth mentioning :D
PPS And I just remembered I need to look for a 2TB SDD to kick my last mechanical drive out of the case.
When you're on a budget, knowing these things can make or break a build.
