Frequently Asked Questions
What systems are compatible with the Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB SSD?
This SSD requires a motherboard or expansion card with an M.2 2280 slot that supports the PCI Express 5.0 x4 interface to achieve its full performance. It is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0, but performance will be limited.
How does the 256-bit AES hardware encryption function?
The 256-bit AES hardware encryption is built directly into the drive's controller, encrypting data as it is written without impacting performance. This provides a secure, always-on layer of data protection at rest.
Can this SSD be used in a server environment for virtualization?
Yes, the Samsung 9100 PRO's high sequential and random I/O performance, combined with its 8TB capacity, makes it highly suitable for virtualization hosts to store virtual machines and their associated data, improving VM density and responsiveness.
What is the power consumption of this drive during operation?
During active read operations, the drive consumes approximately 10.5 W, and during write operations, it consumes about 8.8 W. Its DevSlp (device sleep) mode reduces consumption to a mere 8.6 mW, optimizing energy efficiency.
