Samsung 860 Pro (4TB) Shows On Company Website

It's likely a bit of a mistake, then again could be done to create a bit of a viral. But a new Samsung series 860 PRO SSD just turned up on the company website. The thing is, this is a 4TB model.

The SATA3 (6 Gbit/s) 2.5" unit is listed at 560 MB/s sequential reads, and 530 MB/sequential write speeds. Unfortunately, that is the only information being listed, as going to the actual product page does not work.

4TB is rather something, this means Samsung is ready with their MLC NAND from the 64-layer Vertical stacked NAND production for high volume. We're sure that in due time there will be 250, 500, 1TB and 2TB models available as well. The 4 TB models has a listed price as well, it's 1900 USD, which is 47 cents per GB.

Thanks, Mike58, for submitting this news.

At that price, it is possible that it is indeed a 4TB drive. Even the URL the "full details" button redirects to is labeled "860-pro-4tb-mz-76p4t0e" with the 4TB inside. If it is a mistake it has been made at multiple levels.

the only argument against doing that, is purely asthetic - you'd need 4 power cables, 4 data cables, and 4 2.5" bays for the drives themselves.

other than that, you're right.
