Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB M.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD (MZ-VAP1T0B/AM)

Description

Overview

The Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB is a next‑generation M.2 2280 NVMe SSD that uses a PCIe® 5.0 x4 interface and Samsung’s in‑house controller to deliver class‑leading throughput for client PCs, workstations and consoles such as PlayStation 5. The drive is available as a standard and a heatsink version; it is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0 but will run at reduced speeds on older hosts.

Key features

• Form factor: M.2 2280, PCIe 5.0 x4, NVMe 2.0.
• High sequential performance: up to ~14,700 MB/s read and ~13,300 MB/s write (manufacturer stated; actual performance varies by system, firmware and firmware settings).
• Low latency and high IOPS for demanding applications (random read/write performance in the datasheet is listed per capacity).
• Samsung V‑NAND TLC with dedicated LPDDR4X cache; AES‑256 full‑disk encryption and TCG/Opal support.
• 5‑year limited warranty with TBW rating: 600 TBW (1TB model).

This drive is aimed at users who need the fastest client NVMe storage available today: high‑end gamers, content creators working with large files, and professionals running I/O‑intensive tasks. Check your motherboard or laptop M.2 slot compatibility (length, thermal clearance, and PCIe generation) before purchase — the 8TB variant is thicker and may not fit some devices.
