(PR) 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.
The 9100 PRO and 9100 PRO with Heatsink will offer up to 8TB of capacity1, providing even more storage than ever before to make every task seamless – from 8K video editing and AI projects to gaming and data analysis.
“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/s2 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 5nm 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”.3
More Storage and Enhanced Compatibility for Speed, Wherever you Need
As the first Samsung NVMe SSD with up to 8TB 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 Software4 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 1TB (MSRP: $199.99), 2TB (MSRP: $299.99) and 4TB (MSRP: $549.99) capacities. Similarly, the 9100 PRO with Heatsink will be available in capacities including 1TB (MSRP: $219.99), 2TB (MSRP: $319.99) and 4TB (MSRP: $569.99). The 8TB models will be available in the second half of 2025.

Join Discussion →Man will love to see some test results. Looks like this blows every other consumer nvme out of the water.
Hopefully this is a solid PCIe 5.0 controller, and not an overclocked, overheating PCIe 4.0 controller being pushed into service.
Give it six months for the inevitably fatal Samsung firmware bugs to get addressed and should be good to go!
Hopefully they also include a winning lottery ticket because I doubt a fast 8TB is going to be "affordable".
At this point, I don't particularly care about sustained sequential read / write, and I don't care about 8TB.
What is the random 4k performance?
What is the latency of the NAND?
How much DRAM cache does it have?
If those values are market leading, I'm fine with a 1TB drive or a 8TB drive.
It's on the article. Go read it man. The random speed is 2gb a sec. Cache is based on size.
lol, caught me just reading the headline in the news section here. I'd prefer MLC, but I suppose TLC isn't terrible. Might be worth grabbing the 8TB model just for the larger cache size.
You go 8... I MIGHT go 4TB... just to get the base speed out of it.
Four seems to be the sweet spot at the moment. 990 Pro 4TB drives regularly hit US$300 as an example. Also don't want to go much lower given M.2 slot limitations IMO.
Well the random 4k multi thread is just over 2 gig the cache is based on the size.
