Samsung 9100 PRO: 30-second review
In the past, when reviewing M.2 SSDs, the task has been essentially straightforward—pop it into the machine and get on with some work. As my main flow of day-to-day tasks is usually sorting images and video from shoots, whatever storage I'm using is usually put through its paces, and 4K and 8K video will usually, in one or two quick transfers, highlight whether the medium is fast or not. That all changed with the arrival of the 990 Pro last year, with transfer rates that topped 7,000MB/s—a speed at which you sometimes had to check to see if you had actually initiated a move of files only to find that the transfer had already completed. Now the 9100 Pro offers speeds that are double that.
