Amazon is currently offering significant discounts on Samsung 9100 Pro SSDs, with prices slashed up to 41% while supplies last. These deals apply to capacities ranging from 1TB to 8TB and are part of Amazon Big Deals. The article notes that some of these Gen 5 drives are now priced similarly to or cheaper than the previous Samsung 990 Pro model.

The Samsung 9100 Pro features Samsung’s Presto controller and 236-layer V8 NAND technology. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds up to 13,400 MB/s, though these figures vary slightly by capacity. The drive includes a five-year limited warranty and high endurance ratings; for instance, the 2TB version is rated for 1,200 TBW, allowing roughly one-third of its total capacity to be written daily over five years.

Pricing varies significantly across models. The 2TB model costs $0.199 per GB, offering the best value, while the 4TB and 8TB models rise to $0.28 and $0.287 per GB respectively. Buying two 2TB drives saves $323 compared to a single 4TB drive, and purchasing four 2TB units saves $707 versus an 8TB drive.
