Samsung 9100 Pro SSD Discounted Up to 41% on Amazon
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days promotion offers deep discounts on Samsung's high-end 9100 Pro PCIe 5.0 SSD across all capacities.
Samsung's 9100 Pro SSD is discounted by up to 41% on Amazon as part of the Prime Big Deal Days promotion. The deal covers all capacities from 1TB to 8TB, offering top-tier PCIe 5.0 performance at reduced prices while supplies last.
The Samsung 9100 Pro is a top-performing PCIe 5.0 NVMe drive, described as Samsung's first true PCIe 5.0 offering. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and features the company's Presto controller built on a 5nm process for improved power efficiency, alongside 236-layer V8 NAND. The drive delivers exceptional sequential and random performance, with speeds varying slightly by capacity. It also includes hardware encryption and is supported by Samsung Magician software for management and updates.
Performance Specifications
Performance peaks with the 4TB model, but all variants offer blistering speeds. The specifications confirm its position in the high-end storage tier.
| Capacity | Max Sequential Read | Max Sequential Write | Random Read | Random Write |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1TB | 14,700 MB/s | 13,400 MB/s | Up to 1,850K IOPS | Up to 2,600K IOPS |
| 2TB | Up to 14,800 MB/s | Up to 13,400 MB/s | Up to 1,850K IOPS | Up to 2,600K IOPS |
| 4TB | 14,800 MB/s | 13,400 MB/s | Up to 1,850K IOPS | Up to 2,600K IOPS |
| 8TB | Up to 14,800 MB/s | Up to 13,400 MB/s | Up to 1,850K IOPS | Up to 2,600K IOPS |
Pricing and value across capacities
While all models are on sale, the value proposition differs significantly by capacity. The 2TB model offers the most attractive cost per gigabyte.
| Capacity | Price per GB | Endurance (TBW) | Value Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2TB | $0.199 | 1,200 | Best value |
| 4TB | $0.28 | Not specified | 2.81x cost for 2x capacity vs. 2TB |
| 8TB | $0.287 | Not specified | 2.05x cost for 2x capacity vs. 4TB |
Doubling capacity from 1TB to 2TB increases cost by roughly 60%. The jump from 2TB to 4TB, however, results in a 2.81 times price increase for double the space. Moving from 4TB to 8TB costs 2.05 times more. This pricing structure makes multiple 2TB drives a compelling alternative for users needing bulk storage. Purchasing two 2TB drives saves $323 compared to a single 4TB drive. Buying four 2TB drives saves $707 versus one 8TB drive.
Current Amazon deal details
The Prime Big Deal Days event brings substantial price cuts. The 2TB model sees the largest percentage discount.
The 2TB model of the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD is now priced at $400 on Amazon. This is a reduction of $280 from its original $680 price, representing the full 41% discount. The 1TB, 4TB, and 8TB capacities are also available at reduced prices as part of the same limited-time offer.
UK pricing and alternatives
UK buyers also find significant discounts, though the savings structure differs. The Samsung 990 Pro is presented as a competing deal for those seeking high performance at a lower price point.
In the UK, the 2TB 9100 Pro model is now priced at £374, down from £529. Another listed price is £366. As an alternative, the Samsung 990 Pro SSD is available for £365, reduced from £503.
Additional features and compatibility
The drive is backed by a five-year limited warranty and is considered best for professional users. Installation takes only a few minutes for most desktop builds, but it requires a system with an available M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot to achieve its rated speeds. One hardware enthusiast noted, "Although he loves everything that’s hardware, he has a soft spot for CPUs, GPUs, and RAM."
The SSD is available in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB capacities at reduced prices while supplies last.
