Samsung Unleashes Blazing-Fast 9100 PRO PCIe 5.0 SSDs in Malaysia
Samsung has officially announced the Malaysian launch of its highly anticipated 9100 PRO series SSDs, signalling a significant leap forward in consumer storage technology. Notably, the 9100 PRO, Samsung’s first consumer SSD lineup to leverage the power of PCIe 5.0, promises unparalleled performance for demanding users, particularly professional content creators and hardcore gamers.
Boasting sequential read speeds of up to a staggering 14,800 MB/s and write speeds reaching 13,400 MB/s, the SSD effectively doubles the performance of its PCIe 4.0 predecessors. This translates to lightning-fast data transfers, significantly reducing loading times and enhancing overall system responsiveness. Furthermore, the SSDs deliver impressive random read and write speeds, clocking in at 2,200K IOPS and 2,600K IOPS, respectively.
The 9100 PRO series caters to a wide range of needs by offering capacities of 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and, most notably, a groundbreaking 8TB model. In particular, the 8TB variant stands out as Samsung’s first NVMe SSD to provide such expansive storage. As a result, it is ideal for next-generation game development, content creation, and handling massive data sets.
Beyond raw performance, Samsung has prioritised power efficiency and thermal management. The SSD features an enhanced heat management solution, resulting in a 49% improvement in power efficiency compared to the previous generation. The 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB models come equipped with an 8.8mmT heatsink, while the 8TB model features a thicker 11.25mmT heatsink, ensuring optimal thermal performance even under heavy workloads.
To further enhance the user experience, the 9100 PRO series supports Samsung Magician software. This powerful tool simplifies data migration, provides robust data protection, monitors drive health, and delivers timely firmware updates.
