Samsung plans to release 4TB SSDs in early 2016

Samsung Electronics is working on a new solid-state drive with 4TB capacity. The SSD will be available in early 2016, but its performance and pricing are yet unknown.

Samsung 850 Pro solid-state drive with 4TB capacity will be based on the company’s third-generation 48-layer 3D V-NAND memory, reports AnandTech. While exact performance of the Samsung 850 Pro 4TB SSD is unknown, expect it to be a little lower compared to performance of other drives in the series. Since the SSDs come in 2.5” form-factor and use Serial ATA-6Gb/s interface, the 850 Pro-series solid-state drives are not really performance champions in general.

Solid-state drives with 4TB capacity will help Samsung to better compete against other makers of SSDs. The unique consumer solid-state drives will be exclusively available only from Samsung for quite a while.

4TB SSDs will provide HDD-class capacity, but expect such devices to be very expensive. Even though NAND flash memory is rather affordable today, 4TB of memory cost a lot of money.

KitGuru Says: A 4TB SSD for consumers is clearly a unique product. Nonetheless, do not expect it to be truly fast since it will be based on 48-layer 3D V-NAND, which is slower than the company's second-gen 3D V-NAND memory used on 850 Pro SSDs today.

  1. Allow me to show ~you a fantastic ways to earn a lot of extra money by finishing basic tasks from your house for few short hours a day — See more info by visiting >MY___{DISQUS}___ID::

  2. hope this translates into lower pricing on their other ssd’s. i need to pick one up before i move to windows 10 and while i would love a 1TB drive i just can’t stomach that price.

  3. That’s good money, but I looked at the webcam preview and it’s dangerous work, and you shouldn’t be promoting it. There’s just one little chain holding up that big heavy horse, and one day it’s going to break and the horse will fall and squash you flat!

  4. Yess great timing for my new build next year. I want at least a 1TB for under $300. Lets hope the prices keep going down 🙂
