The Samsung 9100 Pro series boasts impressive specifications, with theoretical maximum random read and write speeds of 2,200K and 2,600K input-output operations per second (IOPS), respectively. These speeds are at least twice as fast as the last-gen Samsung 980 Pro. Furthermore, the new SSD series can reach sequential read and write speeds of up to 14.8GBps and 13.4GBps, respectively. This is roughly double the last-gen 980 Pro and about 2-3GBps per second faster than the earliest PCIe 5 SSDs.
While these speed improvements may not have a noticeable impact on PC gaming, they could be significant for heavy computing workflows and large-volume file transfers. Videographers or software engineers working with large datasets are likely to appreciate the increased speed and storage capacity. The new series also offers a degree of future-proofing, at least until the arrival of PCIe Gen 6.
The Samsung 9100 Pro series will be available from March in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, with prices starting at $199.99. An 8TB configuration, a first for Samsung NVMe SSDs, is slated for the second half of 2025.
