Flagship Gen5 performance in the 1TB heatsink configuration
The Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB MZ-VAP1T0CW combines Samsung V-NAND TLC, an in-house controller and 1GB LPDDR4X cache for high-performance client storage. This exact capacity has its own sequential, random, power and endurance profile, while the factory-fitted heatsink manages the supplied thermal configuration.
PCIe 5.0 x4
The drive uses a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 and is backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 x4 and 3.0 x4.
Up to 14,700MB/s read
Samsung rates this exact 1TB model for sequential reads up to 14,700MB/s.
Up to 13,300MB/s write
Capacity-specific sequential write performance reaches up to 13,300MB/s with Intelligent TurboWrite active.
1,850K IOPS/2,600K IOPS
Random performance is rated up to 1,850K IOPS read and 2,600K write IOPS under Samsung's stated test conditions.
Factory-fitted heatsink
The integrated heatsink is pre-installed; Samsung states it should not be removed and host clearance must be checked.
Security and warranty
AES 256-bit, TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE1667 support accompany a five-year limited or 600TBW warranty, whichever comes first.
Who is the Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB MZ-VAP1T0CW best for?
A strong choice for
- High-performance client PCs with a compatible M.2 2280 slot
- Content creation and large-file workflows
- Gaming systems that support the drive and provide adequate cooling
- Samsung Magician-supported storage management
- 1TB buyers needing the integrated-heatsink configuration
Consider another model if you need
- Your system lacks an M.2 2280 PCIe slot
- Your host cannot accommodate the 80.15 × 25 × 8.88mm maximum dimensions
- Your platform cannot provide sufficient cooling or power
- You require endurance above 600TBW
- You need an enterprise/data-centre SSD rather than a client drive
