Hmm, I guess fingers crossed for memorial day sales, but I wouldn't hold your breath (for reputable brands at least).

Agreed. This is double the speed of the 990 but also double the price. You decide how valuable speed is to you.

Yeah I think since around gen 3 drives have hit the ceiling of maximum useful/noticeable speed for even a power user. Gen 4 and especially gen 5 don't add much for the vast majority of use cases. Not saying there aren't use cases for the additional speed, but they are more specialized. Not sure normal consumer drives need to cater to that.

Outside of ymmv, I think you will be waiting for quite a while for anything close to this caliber.

There's also reports of 4k issues in things that tax the drive; 990 being faster at 4k is rough and sounds like they still got driver bugs to figure out.

Problem is the controller. Until you get to the super expensive ones used in enterprise settings, the physical cap for consumer based controllers is i believe 4TB right now. This is why after 4TB it gets stupidly expensive.

you aren't going to get more capacity unless you change over to like U.2/U.3 form factor and start accepting SSDs that have the power consumption of a gaming handheld alone.

if you need THAT much storage, you might as well look to start a random cache accelerated network drive setup or something.

There are definitely 8TB drives on the consumer market. While controllers do have a limited number of flash channels, I believe there are some workarounds (interleaving?) that can allow them to add more capacity, at the expense of performance. I remember this being a concern when Crucial released the 4TB version of the MX500. I believe the review I read indicated that it wasn't as detrimental as expected.

I think it's also just due to lack of consumer interest given the price of a 8tb drive that isn't QLC and heavily gimped.

Has the lastest gen 5 crushed the heat issues? Or no? Would be nice to see $299 or less 8tb gen 4 next year

Runs a lot cooler than the earlier E26 Phison controller PCiE 5.0 drives. 71c under load without heatsink, 47c with.

Iirc, the first ones needed active fan cooling to not throttle under full load...

Yeah the first wave of them used the Phison controllers, since it was first to market, and ran extremely hot. This uses Samsung's newest controller and NAND, so it doesn't, the review covers the earlier pcie 5.0 drive issues.
