How long after the previous models did the EVOs launch? Probably not a bad idea for Samsung to only sell the PRO for the rest of the year + grabbing insecure PCMR folks, but I'm not actually sure what historically moves volume for their pro drives. OEM versions, not client versions?

e: maybe they'll sell pairs to people to RAID 0 to ensure they have the biggest number in the room?

Tweaktown has an article up with specs for a phison e18 based rocket 4 plus so I doubt samsung is going to be able to maintain a monopoly on fast pcie4 drives for long. Probably won't have the luxury of holding back the more cost effective option unless they want to cede that market.

At least on paper they're claiming higher peak sequential transfer rates. Doesn't necessarily mean much of anything though.

Pricing is the more interesting thing I think. Samsung seems to like charging like 50% more regardless of whether they have the best performance.
