Samsung Electronics Australia, the World’s No. 1 flash memory brand[1], has today announced the release of its SSD 9100 PRO Series in Australia. Delivering up to twice the read and write[2] speeds of its predecessors in more storage capacities, the SSD 9100 PRO and SSD 9100 PRO with Heatsink models represent a new generation of ultimate storage solutions to meet the needs of hard-core gamers, content creators, and professionals navigating AI workflows.

From today, SSD 9100 PRO and SSD 9100 PRO with Heatsink models are available for purchase in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes. Samsung Australia will expand the range to include 8TB capacities across the Series in the second half of 2025.

“The SSD 9100 PRO Series sets a new benchmark for fast, powerful and reliable storage while being the first NVMe SSD capable of supporting 8TBs of capacity,” said Bojan Jovic, Product Manager – Brand Memory Solutions, Samsung Australia. “2025 is going to be a year of advancements in technology with new generation chipsets capable of running complex AI workflows, enhanced gaming experiences, and bigger data loads on local devices rather than in the cloud on the way. Samsung’s SSD 9100 PRO Series is performance ready to meet this new era and will support Australians in personal and professional tasks – from handling professional photo and video editing, generating AI content, to PC and console gaming.”

Enhanced Performance and Power Efficiency to Turbocharge Virtually Every Task

The SSD 9100 PRO Series boasts lightning-fast PCIe® 5.0, enabling the drives to achieve up to 14,800/ 13,400 MB/s[3] sequential read/ write speeds – moving data nearly twice as fast as the previous generation. With random read/ write speeds of up to 2,200K/ 2,600K IOPS, the SSD 9100 PRO can tackle data-heavy files, AI workloads, and support fast paced video games and apps faster than ever before. Thanks to an advanced 5nm controller, the SSD 9100 PRO delivers up to 49% enhanced[4] power efficiency compared to its predecessor.

Experiencing the maximum performance of PCIe® 5.0 with minimal lags is made possible with the SSD 9100 PRO with Heatsink, which offers an additional layer of thermal control. With 1TB, 2TB and 4TB SSD 9100 PRO with Heatsink models boasting a low, slim profile of 8.8mmT, Samsung is expanding applications of its SSD range to compatible laptops in addition to desktop PCs and PlayStation® 5 consoles. At 11.25mmT, the SSD 9100 SSD 8TB model will also be compatible to support PlayStation® 5 consoles.

More Storage and Enhanced Compatibility with Samsung Magician Support

Samsung’s SSD 9100 PRO Series comes complete with Samsung Magician Software to help maintain peak performance. Samsung Magician Software provides real-time performance and optimisation metrics such as speeds, temperature performance, firmware upgrades and authenticity checks, with the ability to help detect potential failures before they happen.

The SSD 9100 PRO Series is now available in Australia via Samsung.com/au and select resellers, with pricing below:

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology[1], today announced the release of the 990 EVO Plus, adding to its lineup of leading SSD products optimised for gaming, business, and creative endeavors. With PCIe 4.0 support and latest NAND technology, the 990 EVO Plus is an ideal solution for Australians seeking more performance and power efficiency on their PCs.

“The 990 EVO Plus is built for laptop and desktop PC users seeking faster processing speeds and expanded storage capacity,” said Phil Gaut, Senior Director Professional Display and Memory Solutions, Samsung Electronics Australia. “As console games continue to integrate video streaming, the inclusion of PCIe 4.0 will see the 990 EVO Plus provide Australians with a tangibly smoother experience, while it’s backwards compatibility futureproofs the SSD for PC and gaming advancements in the pipeline.”

Enhanced Performance and Power Efficiency

The 990 EVO Plus is built on decades of Samsung’s pioneering semiconductor technology, renowned for its reliability. Sequential read speeds come up to 7,250 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) and write speeds up to 6,300MB/s, an enhancement of up to 45% over the previous 990 EVO[2]. The performance boost is thanks to Samsung’s latest 8th generation V-NAND technology and 5-nanometer (nm) controller, while an innovative nickel-coated heat shield minimises overheating, allowing 73% higher power efficiency than its predecessor[3].

The 4TB model has an impressive read speed of 1,050K IOPS and 1,400K input/output operations per second (IOPS) for random write [4]. This remarkable performance nearly rivals that of SSD products with DRAM, despite not using DRAM cache, making it an optimal solution for gaming and AI tasks that require high performance.

Expanded Storage Capacity

The increasing demand for high-capacity storage devices is driven by managing large-sized files, high-quality video editing, and next-generation gaming. To meet today’s growing storage requirements, the 990 EVO Plus offers ample capacity with a 4TB model, exceeding the storage limits of the 990 EVO. The 990 EVO Plus is equipped with Samsung’s intelligent TurboWrite 2.0, revamped for maximised performance, offering rapid file transfer speeds and reduced lag.
