Samsung 9100 Pro 1 TB

► remove from comparison 9100 Pro 1 TB

The Samsung 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 SSD 1TB MZ-V9P1T0BW is a high-end solid-state drive that offers exceptional speed and performance in the M.2 2280 form factor. With support for PCIe 4.0, it takes advantage of the latest technology to deliver fast speeds.

This SSD provides a significant speed boost compared to its predecessor, the 980 PRO. It boasts impressive random read and write speeds, with up to 1200K/1550K IOPS (input/output operations per second). Additionally, its sequential read and write speeds can reach up to 6900 MB/s, approaching the maximum performance capabilities of PCIe 4.0.

The Samsung 990 PRO is designed to shine in various demanding tasks such as gaming, video editing, 3D editing, data analysis, and more. Its exceptional speed ensures smooth and responsive performance.

PM9C1b MZVL81T0HFLB-00BH1

The Samsung PM9C1b MZVL81T0HFLB-00BH1 is a 1-TB NVMe PCIe 4 x4 SSD that never received an official launch; supposedly, PM9C1b drives are based on the same hardware as 990 Evo Plus models but are meant for OEMs rather than general consumers.

The 22 by 80 format drive first became available in 2024, with Notebookcheck editors only getting their hands on one in September 2025.

Performance

AS SSD reports a sequential read rate of 4.6 GB/s, with writes a quarter slower at 3.25 GB/s. These are decent figures for a lower mid-range drive in late 2025. Its performance sustainability proved reasonably good, as long as one ignores a curious dip at the very beginning.
