Samsung 9100 PRO (2 TB, Gen5)

The 9100 PRO 2TB is Samsung's no-compromise Gen5 flagship, rated at 14,700 MB/s read and built for top-tier sustained throughput on scratch and AI workloads — for professionals who genuinely move large data fast. It's poor value for typical builders given current shortage pricing, and pure gamers gain nothing over Gen4, which loads titles just as quickly.

Compatibility

Built around PCIe 5.0. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →
