    SAMSUNG SSD 9100 PRO
    SSD 9100 Pro
    Performance ready for a new era

    Blazing speed. Massive capacity. Built for Al and beyond. With up to twice the speed of the 990 PRO SSD1 and up to an 8TB storage option, the Samsung 9100 PRO SSD supercharges AI workloads, 4K video rendering, and gaming.

    1. Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. Intelligent Turbo Write operates only within a specific data transfer size. Performance may vary depending on the SSD's firmware, storage capacity, system hardware & configuration, and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center. The 4TB 9100 PRO SSD reaches 14,800 MB/s based on test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor [email protected], DDR5 4800MHz 16GBx2, OS-Ubuntu 22.04.2, Chipset-ASRock-X670ETaichi. To maximize the performance of the 9100 PRO SSD, please check whether your system supports PCle® 5.0 at the Intel or AMD website.

    The Samsung 9100 PRO with Heatsink is a 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD for compatible PCs and laptops, suited to AI workloads, demanding games, and workstation tasks that benefit from high transfer speeds and fast random access.

    Recommended For

    • Video editors and other media creators who regularly save or move multi-gigabyte project files and want high sequential write speeds plus 4TB of internal storage.
    • Workstation users who often write large files, such as media-project saves, and have a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to make use of the drive’s high sequential throughput.
    • PC builders assembling a PCIe 5.0 system who want a 4TB M.2 drive with a heatsink already attached; check that the motherboard slot and surrounding components provide enough clearance.
    • PS5 owners expanding game storage who want a high-capacity M.2 drive with a heatsink; confirm console installation requirements and physical fit before buying.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • When a video editor moves large 4K footage files or saves a sizable project, the 9100 PRO can shorten storage wait times on a compatible PCIe 5.0 system; the benefit depends on the rest of the editing setup and the source drive.
    • For a PC game library with frequent installs and large updates, the 4TB capacity provides room for many games, while fast transfers can reduce time spent moving files; game loading may improve by only a few seconds over a good PCIe 4.0 SSD.
    • A game developer working with large Unreal Engine projects can use the drive for frequent saves and access to sizable project files; reviewers identify large game packages and frequent large-file writes as a stronger fit than everyday gaming.
    • For local AI work involving large model files, datasets, or checkpoints, the SSD can reduce storage-related delays when loading or saving those files; it does not, by itself, make model computation faster.

    Reference Q&A

    Q: Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB vs 990 PRO 4TB: is the upgrade worth it?

    A: Choose the 9100 PRO if your PC supports PCIe 5.0 and you regularly work with large sequential transfers, such as high-resolution video or large project files. Its rated sequential speeds are up to 14,800/13,400 MB/s, compared with 7,450/6,900 MB/s for the PCIe 4.0 990 PRO. For typical gaming and everyday use, the 990 PRO remains a capable choice; benchmark gains do not necessarily translate into equally noticeable real-world improvements, so an upgrade is most compelling when your workload benefits from the extra bandwidth.

    Q: For a PS5, should I get the 9100 PRO or 990 PRO with heatsink?

    A: For PS5 storage expansion alone, the 990 PRO with heatsink is a practical alternative: the console cannot use the 9100 PRO’s full PCIe 5.0 bandwidth. The 9100 PRO is worth considering if you also plan to use it in a PCIe 5.0 PC or want one drive for both systems. Check the console’s M.2 size and heatsink requirements before installation; Sony notes that a higher advertised sequential-read speed does not guarantee the same game performance.

    Q: Samsung 9100 PRO vs Crucial T705 4TB: which is better for large file transfers?

    A: The 9100 PRO is a good fit if you prioritize high sequential-write performance and want the heatsink included in this configuration. The T705 is also a high-performance PCIe 5.0 option: PCWorld measured it ahead of the 9100 PRO in some real-world transfer tests, even though the 9100 PRO led that review’s synthetic sequential-throughput tests. The better choice depends on the workload, so compare tests that resemble your own file transfers rather than relying only on peak specifications.

    Q: Will this SSD work in a PS5?

    A: Samsung lists the 9100 PRO with Heatsink for PS5 use, and a Best Buy Q&A for this 4TB model confirms compatibility. The built-in heatsink means a separate one is not needed. It will operate within the console’s supported performance limits, not at the drive’s advertised PCIe 5.0 maximum.

    Q: Will the heatsink fit in my laptop?

    A: It depends on the laptop’s M.2 slot clearance. This drive is 80.15 × 25 × 8.88 mm with its heatsink, so check the laptop’s specifications and available space before buying; an M.2 2280 slot alone does not guarantee the heatsink will fit.

    Q: Do I need a PCIe 5.0 slot to use this SSD?

    A: The drive uses an M.2 2280, PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. A compatible slot and system are needed to reach its advertised maximum speeds; check your motherboard or laptop documentation for supported M.2 NVMe interfaces and speeds before installing it.

    Q: Who is this 4TB SSD best suited for?

    A: It is suited to users who need 4TB of internal storage and work with large games, AI applications, or demanding workstation tasks. Its high PCIe 5.0 speeds are most relevant when the host system supports PCIe 5.0; buyers with routine storage needs may not make full use of that performance.

    Q: Is the 9100 PRO worth buying for gaming instead of a 990 PRO?

    A: For gaming alone, the 9100 PRO’s PCIe 5.0 sequential speeds may not provide a noticeable improvement over a PCIe 4.0 SSD such as the 990 PRO. It is a better fit if you also have workloads that can use its higher throughput and a compatible PCIe 5.0 slot; compare prices before deciding.

    Q: Will the 9100 PRO’s heatsink fit with my motherboard’s M.2 heatsink?

    A: Check your motherboard’s installation guidance and physical clearance before buying. The 9100 PRO version listed here has an integrated heatsink, so confirm that your M.2 slot can accommodate it rather than assuming it can be combined with the motherboard’s heatsink.

    Q: Can I use this heatsink-equipped 9100 PRO in a laptop?

    A: The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, but that alone does not confirm laptop fit. Check the laptop’s supported drive thickness and heatsink clearance; the listed drive is 8.88 mm high with its heatsink.

    Q: Does the 9100 PRO need a heatsink or extra cooling?

    A: Plan for adequate M.2 cooling, particularly for sustained heavy transfers. The product includes a heatsink, and Reddit users discuss using either a drive heatsink or a motherboard heatsink; actual temperatures depend on the system and workload.
