Samsung has quietly refreshed its SSD lineup, introducing a new SKU under the existing 9100 Pro series rather than launching an entirely new product. As one of the flagship M.2 NVMe SSDs on the market, the 9100 Pro continues to target power users and enthusiasts who demand top-tier performance—or simply those who don’t mind splurging on cutting-edge storage for futureproofing their rigs.
The drive delivers impressive sequential read and write speeds of 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s, respectively, making it one of the fastest consumer-grade SSDs available. While its performance speaks for itself, the deciding factor for most users will likely come down to capacity and cost. The lineup originally ranged from 1TB to 4TB, but the newest addition pushes storage to a massive 8TB – priced at a staggering US$999.99.
At the moment, the 8TB model appears to be out of stock, while the 4TB variant has received a price cut of around US$150, making it a more appealing option for those looking to optimize their cost-per-gigabyte value. Meanwhile, the heatsink-integrated version remains available, priced at roughly US$1,019.99.
However, if your primary focus is AI workloads, you might want to look elsewhere. The 9100 Pro’s random IOPS performance sits around 2.2 million, which is useful but not quite on par with newer PCIe 5.0 drives that reach 3 million IOPS and beyond. As always, it’s worth comparing your options to find the best fit for your performance needs and budget.
