Amazon has slashed prices on the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD again before its Big Deals sales event ends. The 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB models are now cheaper than they were yesterday. The 4TB model dropped from $1,119.99 to $734.99, while the 1TB drive fell below $200 and the 2TB drive is under $335. These deal prices are set to expire in less than 24 hours.
The Samsung 9100 Pro features a PCIe 5.0 interface, Samsung’s Presto controller, and 236-layer V8 NAND. It achieves sequential read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 13,400 MB/s. These speeds are significantly higher than the previous generation Samsung 990 Pro, which reaches approximately 7,940 MB/s for reads and 6,900 MB/s for writes.
The drive includes a five-year limited warranty and is rated for 1,200 TBW on the 2TB model. This means users would need to write to more than a third of the capacity every day for five years to exceed the endurance limit. Despite being one of the best-performing drives available, the article notes that price is the most important factor when considering this high-end storage option.
