Samsung’s new 9100 PRO Series<\/a> solid-state drives (SSDs) include the company’s first consumer-grade 8TB NVMe SSD. The latest models use the speedy PCIe 5.0 standard, which \u2014 unless you train AI models<\/a> for a living \u2014 is almost certainly overkill for your PC needs.<\/p>\n

The Samsung 9100 PRO series offers up to double the storage of its predecessor, the 990 PRO line<\/a>. It launches in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB models, with the 8TB ones not arriving until later this year. Each tier ships in models with and without a heatsink (whether you need that will depend on whether your motherboard includes one for NVMe drives).<\/p>\n

The company says the 9100 PRO SSDs have sequential read speeds of up to 14,800 MB\/s and sequential write speeds of up to 13,400 MB\/s. Their random read speeds are as fast as 2,200K IOPS (input-output per second), with random write speeds up to 2,600K IOPS. The company says the 9100 PRO SSDs are up to 49 percent more power-efficient than the 990 PRO line and have a profile as slim as 0.35 inches (around 8.9mm).<\/p>\n

But as Engadget’s Igor Bonifacic wrote in our SSD buying guide<\/a>, very few real-world use cases demand those speeds. (Think people training large-scale AI models and the like.) As it stands, PCIe 4.0 drives<\/a> already benchmark far beyond what most gamers and other consumer uses require. They also cost about half as much.<\/p>\n

The first 9100 PRO SSDs arrive in March: 1TB ($200), 2TB ($300) and 4TB ($550). Variants with a heatsink tack an extra $20 onto those prices. As for the 8TB tier, which Samsung hasn’t announced pricing for, it doesn’t arrive until the second half of the year.<\/p>\n
