Samsung 9100 Pro SSD falls to its lowest price since February for Prime Day — up to 49% off 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB models

SSD prices are terrible right now, pretty much across the board, but the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD has just fallen to its lowest price since February during Amazon Prime Day. This day-one deal gets you a 1TB model for $206, or the 2TB model for $349. The 4TB version is now $799. As you can see, the latter isn't quite as good in terms of value as buying two 2TB drives.

The Samsung 9100 Pro SSD is a Gen 5 SSD with sequential read speeds of up to 14,700MB/s. That makes it one of the fastest M.2 drives on the market, perfect for professional workloads, gaming, or if you just crave a cutting-edge boot drive. Armed with Samsung's proprietary Presto controller, this drive scores very well in all of our performance benchmarks, as shown in our testing below.

The elephant in the room is SSD prices. A year ago, this drive would have cost just $126 for the 1TB model. Unfortunately, AI shortages are driving up prices, and the retail SSD market is effectively disappearing. Prices are only moving one way, so this is as good as it gets right now if you need a fast drive.

Save 39% ($133) Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB SSD: was $339.99 now $206.99 at Amazon Get the 1TB version of the 9100 Pro for $206, around 20 cents per GB. It comes with 236-Layer Samsung TLC (V8) flash memory and is rated for sequential read and write speeds of 14,700 MB/s and 13,300 MB/s, respectively.

As you can see from our testing data below, this is a very snappy drive. It can't quite match the T705 from Crucial or Micron's 4600, but it is right up there and definitely faster than nearly every other drive on the market.

In our PCMark 10 Storage tests, the 9100 scores better than any of the other drives we tested in that review, edging out both the aforementioned rivals. The 9100 Pro remains indisputably one of the fastest consumer SSDs on the market. These discounts also now make the 9100 Pro a bit cheaper than the 990 Pro, a Gen 4 drive that isn't as fast. So if you're choosing between the two, this deal makes it a bit of a no-brainer.
