Samsung markets it as roughly twice the 990 PRO's sequential speed, and its random figures (up to 1,850,000 read and 2,600,000 write IOPS) are aimed at large game installs, content creation and local AI workloads. It keeps a dedicated 1GB DRAM cache and Samsung's in-house controller, and Samsung claims up to 49% better power efficiency than the previous generation, with improved thermal control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you need Gen 5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot unlocks this speed. On a Gen 4 board, it runs at Gen 4 rates, so a 990 PRO would cost less for the same result. In gaming, load times improve far less than the headline numbers suggest. The real gains come in big file copies and heavy creative work. This is the bare 2.38mm drive, and PCIe 5.0 drives run hot, so use your motherboard's M.2 heatsink. Laptops without Gen 5 M.2 support should skip it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 x4 with up to 14,700MB\/s read and 13,300MB\/s write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh random performance for games, creative and AI workloads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1GB Low Power DDR4X DRAM cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved power efficiency and thermal control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamsung Magician for management, health tracking and firmware updates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Samsung 9100 PRO (MZ-VAP1T0BW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 1TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm factor: M.2 2280\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: PCIe 5.0 x4, NVMe 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAND: Samsung V-NAND TLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eController: Samsung in-house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDRAM cache: 1GB Low Power DDR4X SDRAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential read: Up to 14,700MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential write: Up to 13,300MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom read: Up to 1,850,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom write: Up to 2,600,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndurance: 600 TBW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 7.6W read \/ 7.2W write average, 4mW idle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncryption: AES 256-bit (Class 0), TCG\/Opal, IEEE1667\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTBF: 1.5 million hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0°C to 70°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Max. 9.0g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 Year limited or 600 TBW, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB M.2 SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Samsung?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung designs the V-NAND, DRAM, controller and firmware for its PRO drives in-house, and the 9100 PRO is its flagship consumer SSD.
