Samsung unveils 8TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD - and the heatsink will cost you extra

Samsung has unveiled its latest high-capacity solid-state drive (SSD), the Samsung 9100 Pro, which offers an impressive 8TB of storage. This new SSD is designed for demanding applications such as video editing, data centers, and high-performance computing. The Samsung 9100 Pro features the company's latest V-NAND technology, which allows for higher storage density and improved performance. The drive boasts read and write speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s and 3,300 MB/s, respectively, making it one of the fastest SSDs on the market. However, the Samsung 9100 Pro comes with a significant price tag. The base model, without a heatsink, is expected to retail for around $1,500. Those who want the optional heatsink will have to pay an additional cost, further increasing the overall price of the drive. While the Samsung 9100 Pro is a powerful and high-capacity SSD, its premium pricing may make it inaccessible for many consumers. The drive is primarily targeted at professional users and enterprise-level applications that require the utmost performance and storage capacity.
