Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD

The Samsung 9100 PRO is an internal solid state drive with an 8TB capacity and an M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface using the NVMe 2.0 protocol. The drive uses Samsung V NAND TLC (V8) memory and an in-house controller with 8GB LPDDR4X cache.

Suited to high capacity storage workloads on PCIe

This SSD suits users who need 8TB of fast storage for large media libraries, data sets or game installs on a motherboard with a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot. Systems limited to PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 will not reach the rated sequential speeds. Builds requiring a pre-fitted heatsink should consider other models.

Sustained write performance backed by large

Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 provides a 1928GB write buffer that absorbs heavy sequential workloads before the drive transitions to native TLC speeds. The 4800TBW endurance rating reflects the drive's ability to handle long term high volume writes. Idle power draw is 9.3mW in Device Sleep (L1.2).

Questions about this item

Will this 8 TB M.2 2280 drive fit in a laptop that only has a single-sided M.2 slot?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor; physical clearance depends on the laptop's internal height allowance, so check the service manual for maximum module thickness before buying.

My motherboard has a PCIe 4.0 M.2 socket — will the 9100 PRO still work at full capacity?

It will operate at PCIe 4.0 speeds when installed in a PCIe 4.0 slot; the drive is backward-compatible, but sequential throughput will be limited to the slot's 4.0 ceiling rather than the rated 14800 MBps read and 13400 MBps write.

Does the 4800 TBW endurance rating cover heavy video-editing workloads?

The 4800 TBW rating means the drive is warranted for 4800 terabytes of total data written; typical 4K or 8K editing projects write far less per year, so the endurance headroom is substantial for professional workloads.
