Samsung has finally given an answer to the slew of Phison E26-based high-performance PCIe 5.0 SSDs. The 9100 Pro comes in hot, promising up to 8TB of the fastest storage on the planet with the name to back it up. No more compromises with thermal throttling or massive power consumption — the market leader is here to show how it’s done. Or at least that’s a reasonable expectation. It’s a bit late in the game, especially now that we’ve seen what Silicon Motion’s hardware can do on the Micron 4600.

All of that comes at a price, both literally and in the form of lower all-around performance. Is it a worthwhile tradeoff, and how does it stack up to the best SSDs? The update to WD’s popular Black SN770, a drive we loved back when we reviewed it, is finally here.

The Klevv CRAS C925 is a competent but relatively boring budget SSD. It has passable performance and good power efficiency, but fails to stand out in any real way. The 2TB model we're reviewing isn't currently in stock anywhere either.
