The WD_Black SN8100 SSD now offers a whopping 8TB of storage

Forget storage anxieties. WD_Black just dropped the SN8100, an 8TB NVMe SSD monster vying for the performance crown. Imagine: a digital abyss where "out of space" is banished forever. We’re talking warp-speed data transfers, with reads rocketing to 14,900 MB/s and writes hitting 13,200 MB/s. How does it stack against the Samsung 9100 Pro? Picture a photo finish. The SN8100 edges ahead in read speed but lags slightly in write. Random read operations? A dead heat at 2,200K IOPS. Random writes? The 9100 Pro barely noses ahead with 2,600K IOPS versus the SN8100’s 2,400K. The result? On paper, a nail-biting showdown for SSD supremacy.

Samsung drew first blood in the 8TB SSD arena, unleashing its 9100 Pro roughly a month prior. But Western Digital wasn’t sleeping; they’ve just fired back with their own 8TB SN8100 this week. Prepare for some serious sticker shock, though – either of these monstrous storage solutions will leave a gaping hole in your wallet.
