Any thoughts on whether or not Samsung will release a 4TB version? The were talks about it but now silence from Samsung.
Have Samsung released any NVMe M.2 drives with a 4 TB capacity? I was looking at the Amazon Prime Day deals and despite there being 4 TB drives from others (Crucial, WD), I could only see 2 TB drives from Samsung. The only 4 TB Samsung SSDs I saw was the 870 QVO which is SATA3. I was looking at adding a 4 TB drive to an external caddy (e.g. Crucial P3 Plus) for cheap storage as 4 TB SATA3 SSDs are actually more expensive. In the end, I took so long deliberating that the Crucial drive went up in price so I decided against it. Apart from a 4 TB Crucial X6 SSD, all my SSDs, both SATA3 and NVMe are 2 TB drives. 2 TB drives have been cheap for a while but 4 TB drives are usually more than double the cost of those making them bad value for money in my opinion.
Why? Benchmarks show that the 990PRO is very good. Seems they fixed the firmware issue... $129.99 for 2TB on Amazon right now.
First of all, he said he wants a 4TB. Ergo, no Samsung option. So recommending a 2TB model is pointless. Also, benchies have shown that the WD model is also an excellent top-tier performer, and TBH I like their software better, and I don't need to use a Samsung NVMe driver. When I bought mine on Amazon, they were $139 for the SN850X 2TB, and $149 for same unit with heatsink, which is the one I got, and I got it with free monthly financing. (Current pricing is $143) On Amazon the SN850X 4TB is $308, tho you should be able to find a $299 option somewhere.
You made it seem like you're against the Samsung... The capacity is obviously up to him - he does want the 4TB. Looks like another very good option is the Sabrent Rocket Plus-G - 4TB for $399.99 on Amazon currently. There's also PCIE gen. 5 stuff...
I currently have two Samsung 990s in my build, a 1TB for the OS and a 2TB for Flight Simulator. I was hoping to replace the 2TB with a 4TB. I've been really happy with the Samsungs and like the Magician software. I was considering a 4TB FireCuda, but was hoping Samsung would just release their 4TB 990.
Same here i was waiting for the 4TB 990 Pro to be released but i think it won't happen :/ . I ended up buying a corsair MP700 Gen 5 2TB nvme. I'm actually keeping my eyes open on the 4TB nvme deals right now for storage and there are some good ones at great prices but i think they will fall further in price , i will play the waiting game i have no hurry . $196US for a very fast gen4 nvme SP xs70 elite 7200/6800 MB/s with dram on it - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T2XVG1...3WLFRPETX&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 $159US Team Group MP34 4TB nvme gen 3 but has dram on it - https://www.newegg.com/team-group-4...

Samsung PM983 and PM9A3 are both available as 4TB versions. No 5GB/s drives, but 4TB. https://geizhals.de/?cat=hdssd&xf=1035_Samsung~252_3840~4832_3&sort=p&hloc=de&v=e
Welp , here it comes the 4TB 990 Pro ... a little too late me thinks https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-990-pro-ssd-is-getting-a-4tb-upgrade
Well, following up on the Samsung Pro nvme 4TB release date , there is no sign of it to be release anytime soon , maybe next year :/ I was in need of big storage to store my huge movies and family videos / pictures library so i went ahead and bought a middle of the road Silicon Power 4TB UD90 nvme 4.0 - r/w 5000/4500Mb/s , it will only be used to store data for a long time and it was on a flash sale yesterday at Amazon for only $157US Dollars . Reviews are decent for this drive. A nice welcome addition to my already 6TB of nvme storage , can never have enough storage lol https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-power-ud90-ssd-review
Of course Samsung announces they will release the 4TB 990 Pro, right after I got fed up waiting and purchased a WD SN850X 4TB. Just my luck...
Honestly, I don't know what to believe. I've read tons of articles that compare the 990 Pro, the SN850X and the FireCuda 530. There are so many differing opinions. I've always been a Sumsung guy, which is why I was waiting for the 4TB 990 Pro, but up until now, there were no updates on it's release.
I've always been a Samsung guy as well and even bought 2x 2TB 980 Pros when they went on sale but before opening them I returned and got 2x 2TB SN850X instead because they were cheaper and performed slightly faster. Not as fast as say a 990 Pro but I didn't need all that speed. I've came to the point where I don't have to be brand loyal and still get great performance for the price.
Looks like the Samsung 990 Pro will release the 4TB early October 2023 https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-adds-4tb-capacity-to-990-pro-series/ At $344.99 though, I will most likely stick with my SN850X
