Samsung has launched the 9100 PRO Series solid-state drives, featuring the first consumer-grade 8TB NVMe SSD. Utilizing the latest PCIe 5.0 standard, these drives boast impressive sequential read speeds up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds of 13,400 MB/s. Enhanced power efficiency and a slim profile further distinguish the 9100 PROs from their predecessors. However, experts note that most users, including gamers, may find such speeds excessive, given that existing PCIe 4.0 drives already meet typical performance needs at lower prices. Initial models will be available starting March 2023, with the 8TB version releasing later in the year.
Samsung's new 9100 PRO Series SSDs feature advanced speeds and capacities, including an industry-first 8TB model, geared toward serious storage demands.
With sequential read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds of 13,400 MB/s, the 9100 PRO outperforms its predecessors substantially.
Despite these high specifications, real-world usage scenarios may not require such speeds, making the extensive capabilities of PCIe 5.0 somewhat unnecessary for general consumers.
The 9100 PRO SSDs are designed to be more power-efficient and slimmer than prior models, emphasizing enhanced performance and modern design.
