Samsung introduced an 8 TB SSD drive

Samsung pleased fans of the brand with the announcement of the latest version of the SSD drive. This is 9100 PRO PCIe 5.0. The capacity of the new product is 8 TB. The developers stated that the model has surpassed the capacity of its analogs.

Previously released versions with a capacity of 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB, notes xrust, are left behind by the new product. It has not lost sequential read and write speed. This figure remained at 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s, respectively. The drive has Samsung V-NAND memory. This is a modification of the eighth generation.

Among other features is its own Presto controller. It provides peak random read/write speeds of up to 2200K and 2600K IOPS. The new variant also features 8GB of onboard LPDDR4X DRAM for faster data transfers and has a storage capacity of 4,800TB.

Despite the larger capacity and performance, Samsung says the 9100 PRO 8TB offers up to 49% higher power efficiency compared to its predecessor thanks to a 5nm controller and firmware optimization. The version with a heatsink remains quite thin at just 11.25mm, which is the maximum height allowed for installation in a PlayStation 5 console, so you can install the drive in a console with heatsinks for additional cooling.
