Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB

Part numberMZ-VAP2T0BW

The same part under other regional numbers: MZ-VAP2T0B/AM

The short answer

Samsung's 9100 PRO 2TB (part number MZ-VAP2T0BW) is a bare M.2 2280 NVMe drive with a PCIe 5.0 interface and 2 TB of capacity. It suits a mini PC owner with a free M.2 2280 slot who wants a fast drive and will handle cooling separately, since no heatsink is fitted.

Specifications

Capacity is 2 TB, and the sequential read is 14700 MB/s, a figure you can only approach in a PCIe 5.0 slot. It comes without a heatsink, so check whether your machine's slot has its own cooling or plan to add one. Part number MZ-VAP2T0BW identifies the exact model.

Which mini PCs it fits

An M.2 2280 NVMe drive goes in an M.2 2280 slot, and in a slower slot it runs at that slot's speed. Examples that fit: GMKtec NucBox G3 Plus, HP Z2 Mini G1i, Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2 and MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90q Gen 5 and MINISFORUM MS-01 take it at PCIe 4.0 speed, the ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro at PCIe 3.0 speed. The Apple Mac mini (M5 Pro) has no M.2 slot. For the ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro, we have not confirmed it fits.

Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.co.uk, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy

In the slower-slot machines above, you will not see the 14700 MB/s read figure. Samsung does not state the drive's sequential write, endurance, DRAM cache or whether it is single-sided. Because of that last gap, check clearance in your machine before buying.

Common questions

Will it work in a mini PC with a PCIe 4.0 slot?

It can: the Lenovo ThinkCentre M90q Gen 5 and MINISFORUM MS-01 take it but run it at PCIe 4.0 speed instead of PCIe 5.0 speed.

Does it come with a heatsink?

No, none is fitted, so check whether your slot has its own heatsink, and add one yourself if it does not.

Can I put it in a Mac mini?

No. The Apple Mac mini (M5 Pro), Mac mini (M6) and Mac Studio (M5 Max) have no M.2 slot, so this M.2 2280 drive cannot go in them.
