SamsungSSD 9100 PRO 4TB, PCIe 5.0x4 M.2 2280, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 14,800MB/s, Best for AI Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZ VAP4T0B/AM)

Crazy how fast stuff loads. Love it. Absolutely noticeable even over a gen4 SSD, and those were already super fast.It gets a bit hot but every gen5 SSD is going to get hot.If I was trying to be frugal I'd probably spend the extra money over a gen4 SSD on something else e.g the GPU, but I'm not, so I'm happy.

Come Gen 5 SSDs. Super fast. A bit expensive but will go down in price later I'm sure. I love the speeds and of course it's Samsung so what else is there more to say? Running a 14900k on the Asus Aorus Pro X.

Overall, seem like a geat NVMe SSD. replaced tthe T705 1TB for a 9100 PRO. SSD speeds may not be the max as it shows on the box. verys on user Motherboard bandwidth. Motherboard is a Gigabyte Z790 AORUS MASTER EATX LGA1700. its Max interface is Gen 5x8, while 9100 PRO is Gen 5x4. Recommnd a Clean install of WIndows 10 Home 64 bit. SSD must be installed in the First SSD slot near the CPU. ....TheSamsung 9100 PRO SSD is backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 x4 interfaces. While it is designed for PCIe 5.0 slots, it can be used in older PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 slots, but performance will be limited by the slower interface.Intel Core i9-14900KFSamsung 9100 PRO 1TB SSDCorsair Dominator Titanium 96 GB (6600MHz XMP 1)Corsair iCUE LINK H170i LCDMSI GAMING X SLIM GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16 GBCorsair 7000D AIRFLOW ATX Full Tower CaseEVGA SuperNOVA 1000G XC 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified

Insanely fast & hasn’t went over 43c since installing. More speed than I need. Would highly recommend for video editing or 3D rendering but you will not see any performance gains for things like gaming, although, load times are drastically decreased. So far, I’m very impressed.

No question, Samsung has outdone themselves with this monster. I'm showing a comparison between the 990pro and 9100pro using CrystalDiskMark (See Photos). Most of my performance will go towards video editing and rendering. But don't wait for a chance to own the best gamin' and streamin' chewing gum stick (m.2).Surprisingly, I'm getting these speed on my ASUS Z690 Formula board from 2 years ago. I used the riser card (finally) that came with the MB, which has PCIE 5.0 capabilities. Then I tricked the BIOS and set both CPU x16 lanes to PCIE 5.0 - resulting in a x8x8 config (no worries). Now the video card is running at true PCIE 4.0 x16 and the 9100pro on riser card is running at crazy speeds (see photo).Lesson learned: do not expect these speeds on a cheap motherboard (MB) or a board that shares m.2 PCIE speeds with a SATA connection. My connections are pure = don't this much destruction beast speeds.Upgrade your motherboard = upgrade your game, life, relationship with the dog, hate for cheaters in the PC world

Expensive but worth it as the primary drive. Just built a high end desktop to start dabbling in AI and wanted speed and memory. This was the best NVME from Samsung.

If you have a Asus STRIX Scar G18 gaming laptop it will not fit. I had an IT to install upgrades to the laptop and was told the samsung 9100 pro with heatsink does not fit which is disappointing when I asked the samsung representative if this product would fit my laptop they told me yes with no problem. The IT was not able to close the back of the laptop while the heatsink was on it i had them to remove the heatsink and add my own heatsink to the ssd in order for it to fit.Make sure if you are going to use it buy without Heatsink. otherwise it is a good heatsink

You can't really mess this up. It is a top line drive with the space need and the speed to make you go WOW! If you are a gamer or graphic designer and tired of partitions, throw this baby in there and never worry about install management again. Default install and let this thing go!
