Samsung has now added an 8 TB model to its 9100 Pro series of high-performance SSDs, making it the first manufacturer to offer an 8 TB M.2 NVMe SSD with a PCIe 5.0 interface for consumers. ;) Samsung 9100 Pro
Like the previous models in the 9100 Pro series in the M.2 2280 form factor with 1, 2 and 4 TB, the new 8 TB model also makes almost full use of the speed of PCIe 5.0 x4 and achieves almost twice the speed compared to the Samsung 990 Pro series, which is still based on PCIe 4.0. The sequential read speed of 14,800 MB/s is only just below the theoretical maximum speed of 15,750 MB/s of PCIe 5.0 x4 - and the write speed is also very high at 13,400 MB/s. When reading randomly, the 9100 Pro achieves up to 2,200K IOPS and 2,600K IOPS when writing randomly. ;) Samsung 9100 Pro Samsung also offers the 9100 Pro with a heat sink, which helps it to work longer at maximum performance without the speed being thermally throttled. As the model without a heat sink can reach temperatures of 81° according to a test (nascompares.com/2025/03/19/samsung-9100-pro-ssd-review-too-little-too-late/) under prolonged load, the version with a heat sink is recommended. Samsung offers a 5-year guarantee and 4,800 TBW (Total Bytes Written), i.e. up to 600 TB of write operations per TB of capacity. Samsung also offers hardware drive encryption via TCG Opal 2.0. ;) Samsung 9100 Pro The Samsung 9100 Pro is scheduled to be launched in a few days, on September 2nd. The 8 TB model without a heat sink (MZ-VAP8T0BW) is expected to cost 964.99 euros, and the version with a heat sink (MZ-VAP8T0CW) 983.99 euros. However, the street price is likely to fall quickly, as with the other models in the series. The new Samsung is definitely interesting for video editing due to its combination of large storage space and extremely high speed, especially when working with high-resolution and uncompressed video on many tracks.  more infos at bei www.samsung.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Samsung 9100 Pro - erste PCIe 5.0 NVMe-M.2 SSD mit 8 TB |
