Amazon has slashed prices on Samsung's 9100 Pro SSD lineup, with discounts reaching 41% on the 8TB model. All four capacities—1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB—are reduced while supplies last. The timing is notable because SSD prices have been climbing, making these cuts a rare opportunity for storage upgrades.
The 9100 Pro is a high-end PCIe 5.0 drive built around Samsung's own Presto controller and 236-layer V8 NAND. Sequential read speeds reach up to 14,800 MB/s, with writes up to 13,400 MB/s depending on capacity. It also carries a five-year limited warranty; the 2TB model, for instance, is rated for 1,200 TBW.
The 2TB model at $249.99 gives the lowest cost per gigabyte at $0.199, while the 4TB and 8TB versions land at $0.28 and $0.287 per GB, respectively. The article notes that buying two 2TB drives instead of one 4TB drive saves $323, and four 2TB drives save $707 versus a single 8TB drive—assuming you have spare M.2 slots.
