Finally Samsung have their PCIe 5 SSD coming in March or April. I’ve been holding out on upgrading my storage waiting for these. Hopefully OCUK get them in stock soon.

First review has appeared. Not a lot of detail but it’s positive. https://www.thumbculture.co.uk/samsung-9100-pro-2tb-nvme-m-2-ssd-review/amp

I should be receiving mine in a few days. I went for the 2Tb version.

It arrived today. I should get time tomorrow or over the weekend to swap out the 990 Pro for this.

Keen to hear how you got on with this: most of the reviews are positive, but not overwhelming

So far so good. I swapped out the 990 Pro. Immediately noticed the much faster boot time. Then proceeded to install games. Huge game files were downloaded and then installed in seconds. I should get a chance to actually run some games tomorrow.
