Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced the availability of 9100 PRO in Malaysia, its first consumer SSD series that supports PCIe® 5.0, with sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s respectively. The 9100 PRO is Samsung’s fastest consumer SSD to date, delivering best-in-class performance for high-productivity multitasking on laptops, gaming PCs and game consoles.

Available in four capacity types – 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 8TB – the 9100 PRO range caters to users who need faster access speeds for parallel data processing workloads on their laptop or PC, especially professional creators who handle artificial intelligence (AI) based content. Users who enjoy extreme gaming experiences will also benefit from the SSD’s high performance and extended storage capacity. 

Enhanced Performance and Improved Power Efficiency

With PCIe® 5.0 support, the 9100 PRO is almost twice as fast as the previous generation, delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s respectively (990 PRO PCIe® 4.0 4TB’s sequential read speed is 7,450MB/s). The SSD’s random read and write speeds also get boosts with up to 2,200K IOPS and 2,600K IOPS, respectively.

Power efficiency for the 9100 PRO is 49% better than the previous generation due to the SSD’s enhanced heat management solution. This makes the 9100 PRO 2TB’s sequential read and write power efficiency is 1,822 and 1,703 MBs/s per Watt, respectively, while 990 PRO 4TB’s sequential read and write is 1,221 and 1,255 MBs/s per Watt, respectively.

 

Overheating Prevention, Expanded Storage Capacity and Broad Device Compatibility

The 1TB, 2TB and 4TB models of the 9100 PRO also come with an 8.8mmT Heatsink that complies with the PCISIG® D8 standard specification, enabling easier thermal control and preventing overheating.   

Separately, the 9100 PRO’s 8TB model features a thicker 11.25mmT heatsink and is Samsung’s first NVMe SSD to offer expanded capacity, providing support for various gaming experiences as well as next-generation game development and content creation.

Samsung Magician Software Support

To help users optimise and enhance the functionality of Samsung SSDs, the 9100 PRO will come with Samsung Magician software support, which helps streamline data migration for SSD upgrades, provide data protection, drive health monitoring, and enable timely notifications for firmware updates.
