Samsung’s fastest PCIe 5.0 SSD drops below $199 for 1TB, with more sizes on sale
Samsung’s 9100 PRO M.2 solid-state drives are receiving significant price cuts during Amazon’s Big Deal Days, a 48-hour promotional event. The 1TB model has dropped to $196.64, while the 2TB variant is available for $334.99. These prices represent substantial reductions from typical pricing and approach levels seen before the memory crisis.
The Samsung 9100 PRO drives feature PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, offering read and write speeds up to 14,700MB/s, making them among the fastest commercial storage solutions currently available. However, users will need compatible motherboards to take full advantage of PCIe 5.0 speeds. The drives can operate in PCIe 4.0 mode on older systems without compatibility issues, allowing users to install them now and upgrade their systems later without needing to replace the drives.
The pricing makes this a notable opportunity for those seeking high-performance storage upgrades, as it brings premium PCIe 5.0 technology closer to consumer-friendly price points.
