Samsung Goes Nuclear on 9100 PRO SSD Pricing, All Sizes Are Selling for a New All-Time Low - Kotaku
"Storage speed dictates how fast your entire computer feels, from boot times to application launches to game loading. The Samsung 9100 PRO is the cutting edge of SSD technology and harnesses PCIe 5.0 to deliver double the read speeds of previous generation drives. This kind of performance transforms workflows for gamers, content creators and even professionals running AI workloads that require instant data access."
"The resulting sequential read speed of 14,700 MB/s nearly doubles what the PCIe 4.0 drives offer and revolutionizes how fast data navigates your system. Windows boots in seconds, applications launch in real-time and large file transfers take place faster than it can process what's going on. Games with DirectStorage support can load levels in moments rather than the loading screens that define current gaming experiences."
"The sequential write speeds match the impressive read performance, handling large file creation and modifications without slowdowns like cheaper drives experience. To video editors working with 8K footage, timeline scrubbing remains responsive, while exports complete in a fraction of the time. For content creators moving huge project files around between drives, transfers finish almost instantly. The PCIe 5.0 x4 interface leverages four lanes of the latest PCIe standard to achieve these speeds on a compatible motherboard."
Storage speed determines overall system responsiveness, affecting boot times, app launches, and game loading. The Samsung 9100 PRO uses PCIe 5.0 x4 to achieve up to 14,700 MB/s sequential read speeds, nearly doubling PCIe 4.0 performance. Sequential write performance similarly handles large-file creation and edits without slowdowns. Gamers with DirectStorage and content creators handling 8K footage experience faster level loads, responsive timeline scrubbing, and quicker exports. Amazon reduced prices across 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities to record lows, improving accessibility. The M.2 2280 form factor and native support on Intel 13th/14th and AMD Ryzen 7000 platforms enable wide motherboard compatibility.
