WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Samsung 9100 PRO with Heatsink, PCIe 5.0, NVMe M.2 SSD

What it brings

The manufacturer lists nominal capacity: 8000.0.
Manufacturer source
The exact UK manufacturer identifier MZ-VAP8T0CW distinguishes this configuration from other models and bundles.
Manufacturer source

What to check

Published performance and battery figures are manufacturer claims. Actual results depend on configuration, settings and use; an unlisted feature or condition remains unknown.
Manufacturer source

Samsung 990 PRO

What it brings

Rated up to 7,450 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write over PCIe 4.0 x4, with up to 1.4 million random read and 1.55 million random write IOPS.
Manufacturer source
TLC V-NAND with a 2 GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache, plus a five-year warranty covering up to 1,200 TB written.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

No factory heatsink, so plan for motherboard or case cooling. Peak write speed relies on the TurboWrite cache, and Samsung does not list a post-cache write speed for this model.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
It also works in PCIe 3.0 slots, but its rated speeds need a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot.
