Samsung 9100 Pro NVMe M.2 2280 SSD – 1TB, 2TB, 4TB | MZ-VAP1T0BW, MZ-VAP2T0BW, MZ-VAP4T0BW

Breakthrough PCIe 5.0 Performance

The 9100 PRO uses a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 to move beyond the limits of previous-generation storage. The 1TB model reaches up to 14,700/13,300MB/s sequential read/write, the 2TB model reaches up to 14,700/13,400MB/s, and the 4TB model reaches up to 14,800/13,400MB/s.

This exceptional bandwidth helps accelerate large project transfers, high-resolution media work, demanding games and other data-intensive applications. Maximum sequential performance requires a compatible PCIe 5.0 platform; the drive remains backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 at those interfaces’ supported speeds.

Every Task, Powerfully Parallel

Random performance is just as important for fragmented data and heavily parallel workloads. The 1TB and 2TB models reach up to 1,850,000 random-read IOPS, while the 4TB model reaches up to 2,200,000 IOPS. Every capacity delivers random-write performance of up to 2,600,000 IOPS.

This responsiveness supports rapid game-asset streaming, complex creative projects and demanding AI applications involving frequent access to large datasets and models. Sequential and random write figures are measured with Intelligent TurboWrite active; actual performance depends on firmware, system configuration and workload.

Three Expansive Capacity Options

The 1TB model provides exceptionally fast storage for an operating system, applications and active projects. The 2TB version adds room for larger game libraries and production workloads, while the 4TB option provides extensive space for high-resolution video, 3D assets, AI models and long-term project storage.

Each capacity includes dedicated LPDDR4X cache: 1GB for 1TB, 2GB for 2TB and 4GB for 4TB. Endurance scales to 600TBW, 1,200TBW and 2,400TBW respectively.

Extraordinary Power and Thermal Efficiency

Samsung’s advanced 5nm controller architecture improves power efficiency by up to 49% compared with the 990 PRO, based on Samsung’s internal testing of the 2TB model. A nickel-coated controller and heat-spreader label help manage heat from key components, while advanced thermal control supports consistent operation during demanding workloads.

Proper system airflow is recommended, particularly during sustained PCIe 5.0 transfers. For especially demanding installations, use a compatible motherboard M.2 heatsink or other approved cooling solution.

Compact M.2 Installation

The M.2 2280 module measures just 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38mm and weighs 9g. It installs directly into a compatible M.2 NVMe slot without separate power or data cables, making it suitable for high-performance desktops and supported laptops.

This is the version without an integrated heatsink. For PlayStation 5 installation, fit an appropriate heatsink separately and follow Sony’s current dimensional and compatibility requirements.

Samsung Magician Software

Samsung Magician provides a user-friendly suite of optimisation and management tools. Migrate data during an SSD upgrade, monitor drive health, protect valuable information and install the latest firmware updates through one interface.
