The Samsung 9100 Pro comes in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB models. It delivers sequential read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 13,400 MB/s. The 1TB and 2TB drives reach 14,700 MB/s reads, while the 4TB and 8TB versions hit the peak 14,800 MB/s. On writes, the 1TB version reaches 13,300 MB/s, and the rest of the lineup achieves 13,400 MB/s. Samsung says performance has improved by nearly 99 percent compared to the 990 Pro.
Random performance is equally strong. The 1TB and 2TB models support random reads of up to 1,850K IOPS, while the 4TB and 8TB models go up to 2,200K IOPS. All capacities deliver random writes of up to 2,600K IOPS, making the drives suitable for heavy workloads such as AI processing, video editing, and large-scale gaming.
The 9100 Pro uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and supports PCIe 5.0 x4 with NVMe 2.0. It measures 80.15 × 22.15 × 2.38mm and weighs under 10 grams. Samsung equips the SSD with V-NAND TLC flash memory and DRAM cache that scales with storage size: 1GB on the 1TB model, 2GB on 2TB, 4GB on 4TB, and 8GB on the 8TB flagship.
Samsung rates the 9100 Pro SSD lineup for durability at 600 TBW for the 1TB model, 1200 TBW for 2TB, 2400 TBW for 4TB, and 4800 TBW for the 8TB version. Each drive comes with a five-year limited warranty. The SSDs support Samsung’s Magician software, which provides firmware updates, health monitoring, and secure data migration.
For thermal control, Samsung equips nickel-coated controllers and heat spreader labels. The new 5nm controller design also improves power efficiency by up to 49 percent compared to the previous 990 Pro.
