Samsung just released its new 9100 PRO solid-state drives today. These drives use PCIe 5.0 tech to reach speeds up to 14,800/13,400 MB/s for reading/writing—twice as fast as older models. They can handle random read/write speeds of 2,200K/2,600K IOPS. You can buy them in regular or heatsink versions, and for the first time, Samsung offers consumer NVMe drives with 8 TB storage.
The 9100 PRO drives come with Samsung's 5 nm controller, which makes them 49% more power efficient than previous versions. They kept these drives slim at just 0.35 inches thick. If you choose the heatsink model, you'll get better cooling for tough jobs like AI content creation, 8K video editing, or serious gaming.
Right now, you can buy 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB sizes. Prices start at $199.99 for the basic 1 TB drive or $219.99 with a heatsink. The 2 TB models cost $299.99 and $319.99, and the 4 TB versions run $549.99 and $569.99. Samsung plans to release 8 TB models later in 2025.
These drives work with desktop computers, laptops, and PlayStation 5 consoles that have PCIe 5.0 slots. They use Samsung's V-NAND TLC (V8) technology and LPDDR4X cache memory - ranging from 1 GB cache in the 1 TB model up to 8 GB in the 8 TB version. Samsung's Magician Software helps you manage the drives, optimize performance, and get firmware updates.
