There is a secret sale each month, Samsung releases a list right before the coupon gets active. Potentially SECRET10 will get updated in October.
Was wondering where they would go after 980, 990 etc, thought they might stay 3 digit but in hindsight 9100 makes sense.
I actually thought it'd go 10xx, etc, and before you know it, we're in nvidia or intel numerical sequencing!
But it all makes more sense than Xbox at least!
Does anyone know an enclosure that would make good use of a drive like this (even if not full speed)? Just ordered a 2TB but struggling to find an enclosure compatible with a M4Pro MBP and a heatsink. May have gotten trigger/deal happy. I thought maybe one of the TB5 Ugreen enclosures would fit.
I wouldn't bother with PCIe 5.0 if you're going external.
TB5 and USB 4v2 are only capable of PCIe 4.0 speeds.
TB5 enclosures are the best you can do and they're $300-400 and max out around 6000MB/sec.On the topic of TB5 enclosures there seems to be major performance issues on Windows with those using the JHL9480 chipset (most enclosures currently do), but there does seem to be a workaround.
Thankyou. Managed to cancel the order, so will find a better alternative.
Anyone care to share their thoughts on running these on a PCIe 4.0 motherboard? Obviously, there will be a speed hit but will there be any compatibility issues we need to be aware of?
Speed hit? Practically, you see no difference in anything faster than 500 mb/s and high IOPS unless you need it for professional reasons or benchmarks.
I assume you mean MB/S there. Games (EG Doom the Dark Ages) are starting to put NVME drives as a minimum spec so 500MB/S (Sata speeds) are no longer ideal.
It doesn't make much difference - game load times barely change between the fastest and slowest modern drives. I've got Doom Dark Ages on a SATA drive right now and it runs just fine.
No compatibility issues. Read/Writes around 7,000MB/s on PCIe 4.0 slots. If you can find a Samsung 990 or WD 850x cheaper it would make sense to go for those.
Thanks CRG, was looking at the Samsung 990's but saw this deal pop-up and works out to be a couple of bucks cheaper. Almost purchased a 4TB 990 on Amazon for a pretty good price ($419 AUD) but was concerned about warranty issues. I think this is a better buy longer term.
What’s the use case?
Actually disregard, absolutely pointless buying this and putting it in a Gen 4 slot. Buy a Gen 4 drive for a Gen 4 slot and save the coin.
The only reason why I would consider you buy this, is if you’re planning to upgrade to a Gen 5 mobo / rig in the next year or two.
Use case is to upgrade existing 1TB (Gen 4) primary drive. Running about 60% full (thanks to Microsoft Flight Sim taking up 386GB) and need additional storage for photos, videos, docs and get some huge files off Mega before I stop the subscription.
Was looking for Samsung 990's but couldn't find any locally (Perth) selling for these kind of prices.
Yes, will most likely upgrade CPU (i5 12600) and Motherboard (MSI MAG Z690) within a year or two.In gaming, Gen 5 offers zero performance over a Gen 4 drive, and even then, Gen 4 offers almost zero performance gains over a Gen 3.
You would be better off going a 980 or 990 and either increase the size again to 4TB or save the coin for your future upgrades.
If you get Gen 5, you could still use it when you upgrade your cpu/mb in the next couple of yrs. But you spend a bit more up front
Have been waiting on the 4TB. Disappointing this code doesn't apply to the 4TB No Heatsink version give that is in stock.

Tempted to upgrade from my SN850X to a PCIe5 drive, but not quite sure if it's the time yet lol. Would probably be sticking to 2TB capacity anyway.
Is this an ATL?
Yes for this particular model. But do you have PCIe5 slot on mobo and have a specific need for this Gen 5 drive, cause at the moment general consumer won't benefit from it
I do have a PCIe5 slot yeah, but probably not a need, more a want at some stage
Probably wait till 2TB version drop belows 200$ then
Going from SN850X to this would be a massive waste of money. You're not even close to fully using the SN850x. There's literally no upside to it.
You're not even close to fully using the SN850x. There's literally no upside to it.
Sequential writes and reads are only part of the equation. The IOPS and random writes/reads are what matters.
For "normal" users these don't matter at all - doubling your IOPS and random writes isn't even going to be noticeable for most users.
Pcie5 is total overkill
Not bad at this price tbh and considering that pricing of flash memory is due to shoot up, probably better to buy now than later.
Damn. Recently grabbed a 990 Evo plus 1tb for 149 for a new build.. Would've grabbed this at sub 200. Gen5 board. Will I notice? No. Would it have been cool/big number fun? Absolutely!
try with Amex Platinum and Student discount through Unidays you can get 4tb for $457.93 (9100 Pro 4TB) ,
*Amex Platinum Charge Credit card cashback $100 ( Min Purchase $500, Expires 30/09/2025)
*5 % Samsung app offer purchase
*Student discountwhich makes final price after all discount - $457.93
Max 14,800/ 13,400 MB/s sequential speeds
Holy moly.
Imagine Minesweeper running on this.
Don't forget that the only way to see these speeds in the real world is to buy two - you don't have any other drives that can copy to this drive at 13,400MB/s.
Yeah for sure. I can think of a million places that will bottleneck this lol
looked into reviews of real world performance vs my gen 4 NVMe…
next to no difference for almost everything i'll do with it… a lot of the time it was less than 1s difference in load times….
i likely will NOT see any difference…. buuuuut… I still bought 1….
why do i do this to myself….This is the way
SECRET10 seems to be a code valid 11:00AM 16/10/23 to 11:00AM 18/10/23 AEDT. Not sure what product it applies to…
