Samsung Announces 4 TB SSD 990 PRO Series

Just had a look at that heatsink, not a fan of it, I think the SN850X is an example of a clean looking heatsink.

Clean looking yes, but in practise it does about as much as this one

Real heat sinks have curves fins

Agreed, its typical asian over-styling for no functional reason

wow

So then what is?

WD drives are just as fast and much cheaper. SN770 or SN850X

Crucial T700 is much faster than Samsung.

Is there any pricing info available yet? The prices of the 4tb drives don't seem to be dropping at the same rate relative to the 2tb options. Just picked up an sn850x 4tb this weekend for $300 where the 2tb version of that drive are currently going for $120 (ran out of m.2/pcie slots so buying multiple 2tb wasn't really an option). Other manufactures comparable options seem to be in the $300-$350 range as well. Hopefully a little more competition in the high end pcie 4.0 4tb space pushes these prices down a bit.

Have you seen the Lexar's options just yet?

The Lexar NM790 is one of the fastest SSDs we've ever tested, being able to match the Samsung 990 Pro. It is still priced very competitively, at just $210 for the 4 TB version. Not long ago that only got you 2 TB. Thanks to a highly optimized controller design, the NM790 runs very efficiently and doesn't put out a ton of heat.

Ya but they really aren't at the same level if you aren't just looking at speed. IOPs and latency are pretty middling with a fairly small SLC cache. Not saying it isn't a solid drive and a great value for most people but definitely not in the same category as the higher end drives.

It is fast, cheap and energy efficient. If you don't like it, there are many other brands, simply don't choose the Samsung one because it's the worst. Not only because it's more expensive but because the company and its shenanigans.

I use to consider politics when I purchase and do give my money someone... Like sanctions?

I got no idea what you're on about. I think you must have replied to the wrong post.
