Samsung Announces the 9100 PRO Series SSDs, with Breakthrough PCIe 5.0 Performance
Samsung Electronics America, a world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced the 9100 PRO series solid state drives (SSDs), the newest addition to its consumer SSD lineup. Featuring blazing fast speeds and even more storage capacities, the 9100 PRO and 9100 PRO with Heatsink SSDs are designed to deliver next-gen performance - offering the ultimate storage solution for your digital life.
"From AI-driven creators shaping the future to gamers pushing the limits, we saw a clear need for innovation to support users who need more forward-thinking memory technology as they push the bounds of what's possible in their work," said Jim Kiczek, Vice President of Memory Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "The 9100 PRO SSD establishes a new era of performance to help them achieve exactly that. With more storage, even better speeds, improved power efficiency and seamless reliability, the lineup empowers users to continue innovating without storage limitations."Enhanced Performance and Power Efficiency to Turbocharge Every Task
The 9100 PRO SSD boasts lightning-fast PCIe 5.0, enabling the drive to achieve up to 14,800/13,400 MB/s sequential read/write speeds - moving data twice as fast as the previous generation. Plus, with random read/write speeds of up to 2,200K/2,600K IOPS, you can tackle massive files or access your favorite games and apps faster than ever before.
The 9100 PRO series also uses less power than before, thanks to an advanced 5 nm controller. The 9100 PRO with Heatsink also offers an additional layer of thermal control, with less energy consumption for a cooler, longer-lasting drive. In fact, the 9100 PRO delivers up to 49% enhanced power efficiency compared to its predecessor, and packs performance into a low profile as slim as .35".
More Storage and Enhanced Compatibility for Speed, Wherever you Need
As the first Samsung NVMe SSD with up to 8 TB of capacity, the 9100 PRO will let you access more storage than ever for all creative endeavors.
Whether you're handling professional photo and video editing, generating AI content, or gaming - the 9100 PRO SSD series delivers a new benchmark for reliable storage across compatible laptops, desktop PCs, and PlayStation 5.
Plus, Samsung Magician Software helps ensure your drive performs like new. It offers data protection, and provides timely notifications for firmware updates, so you always stay up to speed.
Pricing & Availability
The 9100 PRO SSD will be available starting this March in the 1 TB (MSRP: $199.99), 2 TB (MSRP: $299.99) and 4 TB (MSRP: $549.99) capacities. Similarly, the 9100 PRO with Heatsink will be available in capacities including 1 TB (MSRP: $219.99), 2 TB (MSRP: $319.99) and 4 TB (MSRP: $569.99). The 8 TB models will be available in the second half of 2025.

6 Comments on Samsung Announces the 9100 PRO Series SSDs, with Breakthrough PCIe 5.0 Performance
When tests of these 9100 PRO ?
Example as reported by crystal diskinfo (this doesnt show all temp sensors when is more than one).
5400RPM spindle's in my PC right now 27C 27C 25C 26C
SATA SSD 860 EVO 22C
NVME 980 PRO 38C
NVME SN850X 38C
NVME DC P4600 22C (this one I think is idling, its an enterprise SSD connected on a PCIe slot).
Of course it could be just that M.2 sucks for airflow, I do remember my 970 EVO improving a lot after I placed it in a PCIe adaptor.
It says 9W R/W
And would also mention that Samsung's own specs for 990 PRO saying 8.5W while TPU-s own measurements saying
Will wait about 10~12 months before getting one but YEAH!
Finally a gen5 SSD with lower Wattage!
