What it brings and what to check

Kingston DC3000ME

What it brings

Rated up to 14,000 MB/s sequential read and 2.7 million 4K random read IOPS at 3.84 TB under SNIA enterprise test conditions.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Lists on-board power loss protection, TCG Opal 2.0 and AES-256 encryption, up to 128 namespaces and a 7,008 TB (1 DWPD over 5 years) endurance rating.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

It needs a U.2 host connection, such as a server backplane, rather than an M.2 slot, and the US data sheet lists up to 24 W on writes.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
At 3.84 TB, rated sequential write (5,800 MB/s) and random write (300,000 IOPS) are the lowest of the DC3000ME capacities.
Manufacturer source

Samsung 9100 PRO

What it brings

Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
TLC V-NAND with a 4 GB LPDDR4X DRAM cache and a 5 nm controller, plus a five-year warranty covering up to 2,400 TB written.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

No factory heatsink, so plan for motherboard or case cooling. Peak write speed relies on the TurboWrite cache, and Samsung does not list a post-cache write speed for this model.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
It also works in PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 x4 slots, but its rated speeds need a PCIe 5.0 x4 slot.
