Samsung To Launch 4 Terabyte 850 PRO model SSD
Samsung is going to introduce a 4TB Pro model SSD during CES on the 850 range. We've already seen the EVO model being released at that capacity, however a new PRO model will be added to the line-up as well.
The main difference in-between the EVO and PRO models is that the first one is TLC (three bits per cell) written, and the Pro model as MLC (two bits per cel) That effects both performance and endurance. The announcement will be made at CES, it is currently unknown what controller the SSD is going to use.

Samsung 850 PRO SSD 4TB – As the world’s first 2-bit MLC 4TB consumer SSD, the 850 PRO is ideal for dramatically boosting PC performance. With an industry leading 4TB capacity, users have more space than ever before to store files locally. In particular, high data consumption users such as content creators, gaming and PC enthusiasts can upgrade their laptops and workstations from a hard disk drive to the 850 PRO SSD 4TB to surpass density limitations, reduce power consumption, better support heavy write-intensive applications, and improve PC and program load times.

Nice that looks like a pretty good SSD for both storage and OS related software and such though I'm guessing cost is probably going to be a bit high?
(To put it mildly, definitively going to replace mechanical HDD's one day but not quite yet.)

So basically 10 thousand dollars for an ssd that came out years ago? WTF is wrong with ssd pricing to sizes? I can get a 5TB platter for 140 bucks.
SSD's still need to come a ways. Still too much money for what you get IMO. Though I am getting the 512GB 960 EVO. Just sucks that they are still high for the space you get.

I'll go even further. I want 10TB of SSD for free today. That would be even better. Too bad engineers, factory workers, etc. have to be payed.

Been using a couple of 1TB 850's in RAID 0 as my main drive. Crystaldisk shows around 1000 read and 1000 write speed. It's a pretty decent. Not as fast as the 500GB Samsung 960 EVO i have in my laptop but still very decent compared to a regular HDD.
