Overview

• The 8TB model is offered as a bare drive for $999.99 or with a heatsink for $1,019.99.
• Samsung’s listings confirm sequential speeds up to 14,800 MB/s read and 13,400 MB/s write with PCIe 5.0 support and backward compatibility.
• The drive uses Samsung’s Presto controller, 236-layer TLC V8 NAND, and 8GB of LPDDRX.
• Samsung notes higher power draw than the 4TB version and occasional slight performance dips at the highest capacity.
• Retail availability is uneven, with Samsung taking pre-orders now and Amazon showing only the heatsink SKU listed as out of stock without a ship date.
