PC and console games are getting bigger and bigger, and with upcoming blockbuster releases such as the new Battlefield 6, quite a few gamers are probably looking to upgrade their mass storage. Therefore, it might make sense to take a look at Amazon's ongoing Prime Big Deal Days, which are going to end tonight.
For instance, the very fast Samsung 9100 Pro SSD has received noteworthy discounts and is now on sale for prices starting at $126 for the 1TB version. However, the 2TB variant is a much better deal as a 15% discount drops that SKU to $169 including free shipping.
The 4TB SSD has received an even bigger price cut and can now be ordered for $349 instead of $549, while the maxed-out 8TB Samsung 9100 Pro has dropped to $749 thanks to a 25% price cut. The latter is an all-time low according to Camelcamelcamel and does not even require and active Prime membership.
In any case, prospective buyers can look forward to extremely fast data transfers thanks to sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s, respectively. A compatible PCIe 5.0 laptop or gaming PC is required for that, but since PCIe 5.0 is backwards compatible, the 9100 Pro can also be put in an older M.2 slot in order to run it at slower speeds. This is only recommendable for users who are already planning an upgrade to PCIe 5.0 in the near future.
All versions of the Samsung 9100 Pro are equipped with durable TLC NAND, and according to the official spec sheet, the flagship 8TB SSD is supposed to survive 4,800 TBW. A five-year manufacturer warranty is included in the price. Although a superfast SSD is probably overkill for most regular users, gamers or content creators who have put an eye on one of the fastest storage modules on the market right now might want to take advantage of this Samsung SSD deal on Amazon Prime Day.
