Hi traders,
i needed to upgrade my working station for trading and developing new trading indicator and EA, so i decided to buy 3rd nvme disk
Once i saw that prices, it blow my mind
Samsung NVME 4TB 9100PRo for allmost 1 350$
and
Samsung NVME 4TB 990PRo for allmost 990$
But i had to buy one so i bought, but seems to me no so cheap like it was.
What are your experiences?

Storage pricing has been rude lately — especially the big NVMe sticks when you’re buying “I need it this week.”
For a trading + EA/dev workstation I care about boring reliability more than peak Gen5 brochure speeds. Charting, tick archives, and symbol history are mostly sequential/mixed workloads; a well-cooled 990-class drive is usually plenty. The 9100 Pro numbers look lovely in a bench screenshot and matter less once Windows Search and Chrome have joined the session.
Practical split that worked for me:
- OS + platforms on one NVMe
- Historical data / VMs / builds on a second
- Keep a third slot or SATA SSD for cold archives so the trading disk stays lean
£/$ shock aside: confirm cooling and DRAM/cache behaviour under sustained write (tick dumps). Thermal throttle mid-backtest is a real annoyance. Did you go 9100 or 990 in the end, and are you running it as the OS disk or a data volume?
