Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB NVMe 2.0 SSD

This Samsung 9100 PRO internal SSD delivers 1TB of storage on an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol. An in-house controller and Samsung V NAND TLC (V8) memory serve AI computing, gaming, and heavy-duty workstation workloads. A 1GB LPDDR4X cache supports sustained throughput.

Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 and encryption

Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 provides a 242GB write buffer that absorbs bursts before folding back to native TLC speeds. Hardware encryption covers Class 0 AES 256, TCG/Opal v2.0, and MS eDrive (IEEE1667) for data-at-rest protection without software overhead.

Heatsink-free design and broad compatibility

The drive ships without a heatsink, relying on innovative power and thermal control to manage temperatures in laptops and desktops alike. An M.2 2280 footprint fits standard slots, while the PCIe 5.0 x4 link scales up to 8TB capacities across the series. Endurance is rated at 600TB written.

Questions about this item

When will the 1TB 9100 PRO reach its 600TB written endurance limit?

The drive is rated for 600TB total bytes written. At typical consumer workloads of a few terabytes per year, that limit would take many years to reach.

What throttles first during long, heavy transfers on this PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD?

Sustained writes can exceed the 242GB Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 buffer, after which the controller reduces speed to manage heat and protect the NAND.

How hot and loud does the M.2 2280 drive get when running all day without a heatsink?

The controller includes innovative power and thermal control to limit heat, but the drive ships without a heatsink so temperatures depend on your system airflow.
