I recently installed the Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB with heatsink into my system, and after running a few CrystalDiskMark tests, I can confidently say: this drive is a beast.

Purchased as a primary drive in a new high-end PC build on an Asus ROG Strix X870E-H MB with an AMD 9800x3d and Radeon RX 9070 XT. SSD is extremely fast on boot, launching/saving/loading games, etc. Is it a noticable difference coming from a PCIe 4.0 X4 drive? I'd say yes, but my previous PC was built 4 years ago so YMMV. Note that this is the model with attached heatsink which did not allow for the usage of the motherboard's included heatsink. That was fine with me, as the primary Asus ROG Strix X870E-H NVMe slot's heatsink is separate from the rest of the motherboard's heatsink plate. If I buy another (which his highly likely once prices come back down) I'll buy the model without the heatsink.

Fast and big storage, heat sink is too big to use with motherboards built in heat sink on a x870e but hasn’t had any heat problems thus far with just its heat sink overall good drive

If you’re looking at the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD for personal use, know it’s really built for enterprise workloads, not everyday gaming or storage. Performance is excellent—fast reads/writes, very reliable under heavy sustained use—but it runs warm and costs more per GB than standard consumer drives. For me, it feels like overkill in a home setup, but if you’re running constant large file transfers, virtualization, or workstation-level tasks, it makes sense. For typical gaming or daily use, a Samsung 980 Pro or 990 Pro would be a smarter fit.

Easy plug and play HD. Price was right and good performance. Not really much to say other than it works as it's suppose to. Was up and running after it was formatted/initialzed in no time.

You can't beat this m.2 2TB with heatsink. There is nothing quite like the speed of a PCIe 5.0. Speeds listed are about what I've gotten, so I'm extremely happy with it.
Thanks for purchasing Samsung's 9100 PRO with heatsink SSD. I am happy to see that this drive is meeting your needs. This drive allows you to supercharge your workflow and gaming with PCIe 5.0. Blazing fast speeds and next-gen power for your most demanding tasks.
