9100 PRO 8TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

The Samsung 9100 PRO is an M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built for consumer workloads that demand high throughput. It combines an in-house controller with Samsung V-NAND TLC (V8) memory and an 8GB LPDDR4X cache. The drive ships with an integrated heatsink to manage thermals under sustained load.

PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 protocol

This drive connects through a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 link and speaks NVMe 2.0. The interface is the single specification that decides compatibility; the host must provide a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot to reach the rated 14800 MBps sequential read and 13400 MBps sequential write speeds.

8TB capacity with 4800 TBW endurance

Eight terabytes of usable space handles large media libraries, game collections and professional project files with room to spare. The 4800 TBW rating and 1928GB Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 buffer support heavy write workloads, while Class 0 AES 256 encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 protect data at rest.

Questions about this item

Does the drive fit in a standard M.2 2280 slot with the heatsink already attached?

The drive measures 11.25 mm in height including the integrated heatsink, so it fits motherboards that allow that thickness; check your board's clearance if space is tight.

Can my motherboard use the full 14800 MBps read speed?

You need a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot and NVMe 2.0 support to reach the quoted sequential figures; a PCIe 4.0 slot will limit the drive to that generation's bandwidth.

Is the 8 GB LPDDR4X cache enough for sustained heavy writes?

The 1928 GB Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 buffer handles burst workloads before the controller writes directly to the TLC NAND, keeping performance consistent during large transfers.
