9100 PRO 4TB

I ordered this one last year during amazon prime day open box with amazon resale discount I think around $260-$290. I cancelled because I figured I don't need it, especially since I was getting a 2TB SN850X for like $80. Regretted that cancellation. I still don't really need it though.

This is a hot deal for this specific product but I feel in terms of overall practical terms keep in mind as some examples - Crucial T705 2TB is $223 Samsung 990 Pro 2TB is $200 Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB is $170 Samsung 990 Pro 4TB is $380 They aren't all comparable but contextually while this likely

Apparently, Samsung plans to release a new flagship PCIe Gen 5 NVME/M.2 SSD in just over a week, called 9100 Pro.

I would like to build a new PC soon and I was thinking about getting the 990 Pro 4TB, as my main drive to install the OS and everything else.

Now my thought are these...

You can Play PS5 games on internals and store them on the external if you're putting them in cold storage (IE: Don't want to delete it, but not actively playing it). Note that moving data to / from an external is SLOOOOW vs internal. You can play PS4 games from external, but I'd advise an SSD if you

The thing is that some 4TB SSDs are dual sided (it has chips on both sides, so they are thicker) and the X1C14 only supports single sided SSDs.

Yeah I was gonna say I got the 990 evo plus 4Tb from BH for $200. $50 per TB. Then recently my rural walmart clutched up and I got 5070Ti for $700 and WD Blue SN5000 2Tb for $130 around $65/TB I'm already running out of space though and really want to get into some homelab stuff so I just jumped on

I have a Gen 5 4tb Crucial T705 (2280) and have no micro stuttering at all.. The stock SSD is almost Gen 3 specs and I had many issues with load times with it, and your WD Black (I assume SN770M 2tb) should be hitting 5,150MB/s read/write on sequential speeds. Will be much lower in RND4k though I wo

Debating whether to do: 2TB 9100 Pro for $300 4TB 990 EVO for $300 4TB 990 Pro for $400 I'm kinda tempted to get the fancy new 9100 for the "double" speed, and make that my main OS drive (since I do a fair bit of general workstation tasks, not just gaming). But paying the same amount and getting dou

Samsung's SSDs have had issues in the past They have the occasional firmware bug that gets quickly fixed. All recent known samsung issues are currently fixed (990 pro etc) Crucial, sk hynix, and wd, aren't putting out firmware as often when bugs occur. SK Hynix P41 still has the firmware bug that's

Here’s the thing, a 990pro is already overkill for general use with most half decent pcie3/pcie4 nvme’s being more than enough to do the job. Also for gaming and general use a sata ssd is arguably more than enough. I have a 2tb Samsung 980 pro and 4tb Samsung 870 evo (got these over a year before th
