Fastest drive to go with 9950x3d chip. Near top of charts. Pricey and games won’t show much difference. So a luxury item for the most part.

It’s great and its fast. Minimum characters met now lol

Very fast on pCIE5. Runs great ans samsung magician compatible makes it easy to monitor health and performance.

fast data transfer works as intended it is a must to have.

It transfers so fast I was able to meet my deadlines and cut costs

[Employee of bestbuy] Great ssd to future proof for any new pc build with the 5 series nvidia or 9 series amd

Great value for size, and notable upgrade from the 990 I had in previous build. Works as expected!

amazing, cant say enough about the quality. amazeballs

If you can grab it for $200 nothing can beat it!! Great quality!

Very nice upgrade from the 980 pro. Glad I did the upgrade and very happy with it.

The drive is fast and easy to install. there are utils available for advanced control from the manufacturer.

Can't confirm advertised speeds since my MacBook Pro TB4 ports max out around 5000 MB/s.

I wanted this and glad I got it just wish I bought another

Really simple to put into a pc to help get more storage

I have issues with a dead drive form corsair. I bought this it's at best buy dorp save $20

It’s a excellent drive but too expensive for the price

This Samsung 9100 Pro SSD (9100 Pro) is not just the fastest I’ve ever used, it’s leaps ahead. It has one major problem though – it’s so cutting edge it’s only useful right now to a small group of users, though that will change as soon as computers catch up. Those who can benefit right now need to use a PCIe 5.0 equipped computer, capable of taking advantage of the 9100 Pro’s speed, and be able to financially rationalize it’s cost premium over the next fastest Samsung SSD, which is no slouch, just not as advanced as the 9100 Pro. USE IN THUNDERBOLT 4 ENCLOSURE vs INTERNAL PCIe 5.0 M.2 NVMe SLOT The 9100 Pro is backwards compatible and will work on any computer or external enclosure with an M.2 NVMe slot, but using the 9100 Pro in these situations, in my mind, is wasted money and speed. Consider this – I did quick benchmark speed test in a PCIe 5.0 equipped desktop routinely got nearly 12K Mb/s sequential read and write, which is only about 15% off from its top theoretical speed. Amazing. But when I put the 9100 Pro in a Thunderbolt 4 enclosure, which until very recently was the speed “gold standard” for portable devices, it “only” registered about 2.8K Mb/s sequential read and write. That’s over 400% slower performance than when it’s in a PCIe 5.0 equipped computer. From these tests, it’s clear to me that the “Pro” in the 9100 Pro’s name is all business and not meaningless marketing jargon. It is a “real deal” pro-level product that demands specific hardware to reach it’s potential. If you can’t abide with its hardware demands, you and your wallet are better off buying the Gen 4 version. “REAL WORLD” TEST EDITING 4K VIDEO Now if you are still here, after I completed the benchmark tests above, I tried a “real world” test, using it as a scratch drive, editing a five-minute-long test video using Canon 4K/60 sRAW clips. Also, because I only make short videos comprised of even shorter clips I edit with the actual files, not proxies. This is how I normally shoot so my goal was to find out if the 9100 Pro would appreciably make my work go faster than when I use “slower” but still upper end internal SSDs running around 4.5K Mb/s. As I was working on my video it became clear the 9100 Pro is special. Scrubbing though clips was buttery and even complex effects rendered significantly faster than what I’m used to. I didn’t notice the momentary pause I sometime get as my computer tries to catch up with my actions. And even though the 9100 Pro gets toasty almost immediately upon use this didn’t seem to affect performance. It was a smooth experience the entire time. But, of course, my source video and edits were not pushing anything on my rig to its limits either. Using it for editing is a great experience, like “how it should be,” yet I had guilt pang and felt a little silly I was underutilizing its power, only editing short 4K clips. It’s like when you see an exotic super car in the mall valet lot on a sunny day. The 9100 Pro, I think, is really built for more beefier uses like 8K or even 4K/240, things that cause bottlenecks. And this is how I eventually concluded that the 9100 Pro, until computer manufacturers catch up to its PCIe 5.0 tech en masse, is best for serious professional endeavors given its premium over Samsung’s next best SSD. For casual or general business use it’s hard to justify since it’s power can’t be harnessed in older (and even many newer) computers or even Thunderbolt 5 enclosures. BOTTOM LINE This is an elite SSD. It will shine if your computer has the latest specs and you push it to its limit every day. For everyone else that still wants speed at an affordable price, the best PCIe Gen 4.0 models are still fast and the fastest most computers right now can handle anyway. I’m not a serious gamer, but I can see where it might benefit those users since they tend to have high end rigs and latency is everything to them.

Good product but I did not come with that screw that i needed to install

Samsung – 9100 PRO 2TB Internal SSD is an absolute beast of a drive. If you're buying this, I am going to assume that you know how to install this wonderful piece of hardware onto your motherboard. If you're unsure of where your m.2 slot is, there are a plethora of resources available to assist you with that portion. Once you have this on your PC and formatted, it is ready to rock and roll. This drive actually took the place of my C drive because I liked the performance so much that I went and purchased another one to hold the games. The speed is perfect for gaming. The temperature of the SSD is staying relatively cool. Overall, the performance is wonderful, I have yet to find a complaint. Actually, the only complaint is that once you have this one, you're never going to want to go back to anything else. As previously stated, this SSD is a powerhouse, and I have yet to find anything that it lags on. I am very pleased with this SSD, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a decent SSD.

After using many earlier versions of Samsung SSDs, and being impressed with their performance, this one stands well ahead of anything else on the market. I don't have the hardware to put it fully to the maximum capability of the rated speed. I installed it in PCIe Gen 4 slot, and everything just worked right out of the box. I used Samsung Magician in the install process to make certain there were no issues. Absolutley flawless start up. I can find nothing to complain about and remain impressed with Samsung's ability to keep raising the bar. Two TB is just the right size for my needs, but they make it up to 4 TB if you want that much space. The MTBF is rated a bit lower than I expected, but it will still far exceed anything I will use it for. I do not have space for the heatsink version, but get that one if you have the physical room. As expected, it runs on the hot side. Just a bit more insurance to protect your investment. If you have a PCIe Gen 5 slot, this is the drive you want.
