Don't buy these thinking you'll get these speeds for current devices. No point buying these until you do, and even then, sustained speeds are hit or miss. They run HOT. You need a lot of cooling.

It's always great to see advancements, but I'm not a gamer so I'm not sure that I need more speed than I have. Actually, in daily use it's hard to tell the difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4, but I suppose some programs that just crunch a lot of numbers might see welcome improvements
The prices are deal killers though, and I'd certainly never pay a premium for speed that I won't use, I already use Sammy 980 Pro/990 Pro drives, WD SN850x drives, multiple SKH drives etc. I've kind of lost count.....
When you factor in the Gen 5 prices, their heat issues, and the tight space tolerances of laptops which I use the majority of the time now, it all renders these kind of moot. I'm far more interested in space than speed and if I could migrate from 4TB to 8TB drives at reasonably prices, I'd be jumping on them. I hope they build more large Gen 4 drives.....
The speeds on this are insane. What kinds of applications make full use of one of these, with the system to match of course? 4k video processing? Rendering? Molecular study? Crypto? Massive data set analysis? Tetris?

only one i can think of. NVME to NVME transfer through whatever file manager app you use. i use a Sabrent PCIE to NVME card and the speeds are very good.
I just picked up the 4TB for $449. The cheapest I've seen it in weeks. They are slowly getting cheaper as more people get MBs with Gen. 5 slots.
I have a new digital storm Velox coming. It's got the MSI CARBON MB. Has two slots for PCI-5, but the second 5 slot would share power with my GPU, (5080). So I don't want to use it.
This 9100 will go in first slot.
I sure hope DS put the PCI4 990 pro I ordered with the rig into slot 3 instead of slot one. 3 and 4 are for PCI-4.
Either way I'll have to clone their existing C data onto the 9100. Then have that one be new boot drive.
