I'm waiting for Samsung to release a true PCIe 5.0 product. They've been sitting on their laurels a bit, and Phison is feasting while they're out. Competition in storage is always good for the consumer!

I'm probably moving solidly into 'the olds' category but it boggles my mind the speeds being offered here. And the cooling that's going to be required for anything even starting to tax the read/write rates

..and why, if they are touting the highest density, have they been stuck at 4TB for so long?

400 plus layers for density sounds cool and all but until they come up with a controller or file system, that can do better than a few hundred MB per second with smaller files, who cares? Sure, it's fun to copy large VMs or 80 GB 4K Blu-ray ISOs and the like but there's not a lot of extra performance when dealing with lots of smaller files in programs that are installed and running.

I would love some inexpensive 2.5", 8 TB or 16 TB serial ATA drives for my NAS. It's just not going to happen as long as they can sell 4 TB M.2 drives for $300 or $400 or more.
