Apart from phones, tablets, wearables, computers and myriad other things, Samsung makes high-speed memory. And in this age of hardcore gaming, 8K content creation and AI workflows, who doesn’t need more of the stuff?
We have our hands on a stick of Samsung’s hottest, best-in-class NVMe Gen5 M.2 SSD memory, which is potentially twice as fast as its predecessor (the SSD 990 PRO). We’ll be testing it here at GadgetGuy as soon as our NVMe Thunderbolt 5 enclosure arrives in the post, which will complete our testing rig.
Until then, we’ll leave you salivating over the specs; the SSD9100 Pro gives you a choice of with or without a heatsink, and comes in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB denominations.
The SSD 9100 Pro series supports PCIe 5.0 with scorchingly-fast with up to 14,800MB/s sequential read and 13,400MB/s sequential writes. For random read/writes, Samsung says the SSD 9100 Pro manages up to “2,200K/ 2,600K IOPS”. It also has a 5nm controller for “up to 49% enhanced power efficiency compared to its predecessor.”
The SSD 9100 PRO Series sets a new benchmark for fast, powerful and reliable storage while being the first NVMe SSD capable of supporting 8TBs of capacity

Samsung’s new SSD 9100 Pro range will work in compatible desktop PCs, laptops and PlayStation 5 consoles. The 8TB option will come out later this year – and this will certainly fit in nicely into my PS5!
