Samsung Electronics today announced the availability of its new 9100 PRO 8TB PCIe® 5.0 NVMe™ SSD, the company’s largest-capacity consumer SSD to date. Building on the earlier launch of the 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB models, the 8TB version combines best-in-class sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s with expansive storage to deliver unparalleled performance for AI workloads, professional content creators, and gamers alike.
The Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB is designed to meet the growing demands of next-generation applications — from loading large AI models and rendering high-resolution video content to running massive AAA games. With its expanded capacity, users can now store and process even the most storage-intensive workloads with ease.
Breakthrough PCIe® 5.0 Performance
Powered by Samsung’s 8th-generation V-NAND and the advanced Presto controller, the 9100 PRO 8TB achieves up to 2,200K IOPS random read and 2,600K IOPS random write speeds, doubling sequential performance compared to the previous-generation 990 PRO. This makes the drive an ideal solution for AI PCs, content creation workflows, and extreme gaming environments where speed and responsiveness are critical.
Expanded Capacity for Next-Gen Needs
Despite its increased capacity and performance, the 9100 PRO 8TB is up to 49% more power-efficient than its predecessor, thanks to Samsung’s 5nm controller and firmware optimisations.
The 8TB heatsink version, with a slim 11.25mm profile, provides effective thermal management to prevent overheating and is even compatible with PlayStation® 5 consoles, giving users more flexibility in installation.
Samsung Magician Software Support
Like other models in the series, the 9100 PRO 8TB is supported by Samsung Magician software, which offers seamless data migration, drive health monitoring, secure data protection, and firmware updates for optimal performance.
Availability and Pricing
The Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB SSD will be available in two variants. The standard model (MZ-VAP8T0BW) is priced at RM4,239, while the version with a heatsink (MZ-V9P8T0CW) retails at RM4,269. Both can be purchased through the Samsung Online Store, Samsung Official Store on Lazada and Shopee, as well as authorised retailers across Malaysia.
