If you’ve got the need for speed, and a lot of storage space, the new 8TB Samsung SSD 9100 Pro has just arrived in Australia. Housed within the portable M.2 form factor, the NVMe drive works across PCs and gaming hardware.
Such a high-capacity SSD doesn’t come cheap, however. You’re looking at $1,549 for the SSD 9100 Pro by itself, and $1,599 for the heatsink-equipped model suited to plugging into a PS5. That being said, those considering an 8TB storage drive are likely power users.
Designed to take advantage of motherboards with PCIe 5.0, the SSD 9100 Pro supports sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s. Samsung says that’s double the speed of the previous-gen 990 Pro model.
Samsung’s 8TB variant joins the 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB SSDs from earlier in the year. For reference, a PS5 includes 1TB of internal SSD storage, while the $1,199 PS5 Pro includes 2TB. You’d hope that by spending more than the value of your console on additional storage, you’d never have to uninstall a game again. Otherwise, you might have a game hoarding problem.
Either way, Samsung’s high-capacity SSD is currently listed online. The non-heatsink version should be available any day now, while the heatsink model launches on 15 October.
