SSD deal: 2TB Samsung 9100 Pro with blazing speeds drops in price

If you’re upgrading a desktop or compatible laptop, this is a fantastic opportunity to add next-generation storage without maxing out your credit card.

Samsung‘s 9100 Pro 2TB SSD has crashed to $400 (was $680) at Amazon, knocking a massive $280 off one of the fastest consumer PCIe 5.0 drives around. For UK readers, the 9100 Pro is discounted to £364 (was £529) at Amazon, too.

Sequential read speeds reach up to 14,700MB/s, while write speeds climb to 13,400MB/s, delivering exceptional performance for demanding workloads. Everything you’ll want to install and run will benefit from the extra bandwidth available through PCIe 5.0.

In our review of the 9100 Pro we said: “Samsung’s first true PCIe 5.0 drive is the best there is.” In the summary we went on to add: “This is a very professional-specific drive in ways that previous Samsung Pro SSDs were not. If you’re not a professional user, there are better PCIe 5.0 drives out there, but for pros, there’s none better than the 9100 Pro.”

Random performance reaches up to 1,850K read IOPS and 2,600K write IOPS, helping applications launch quickly and keeping multitasking smooth.

Samsung also focuses on efficiency, using a 5nm controller that improves power efficiency over the previous generation while advanced thermal controls help maintain consistent speeds.

Hardware encryption adds another layer of protection, and Samsung’s Magician Software provides firmware updates, health monitoring, and extra management tools.

The M.2 2280 form factor fits a wide range of modern desktops and laptops that support PCIe 5.0 NVMe storage. With 2TB of capacity, there’s plenty of room for creative projects, large software libraries without you needing to consistently manage free space.

Compatibility is straightforward for systems with an available M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot, and installation only takes a few minutes for most desktop builds.

If you’ve been waiting to benefit from PCIe 5.0 speeds, this deal delivers huge savings alongside outstanding performance, generous capacity, and useful software features that continue adding value long after installation.

The 9100 Pro SSD is also available in 1TB, 4TB and 8TB capacities at reduced prices.
