When you’ve decided once and for all that the storage side of your PC or laptop will no longer become a space or performance bottleneck, that’s when you’ve decided that the Samsung 9100 PRO PCIe NVMe Gen 5 SSD with a whopping 8TB of storage will be in your possession. As luck would have it, Amazon’s Black Friday 2025 sales have kicked off, and where the high-capacity 9100 PRO would typically be available for $999.99, the same drive can now be yours for $749.99, knocking off $250 from the total. Before you ask, yes, this solid-state drive is remarkably fast.
Despite sporting the same form factor as PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs, the 9100 PRO unleashes its performance limiters by achieving new read and write speed records
The 9100 PRO’s sequential read and write speeds can reach an impressive 14,800MB/s and 13,400MB/s, respectively. However, while data transfer speeds are important, what is also essential is how responsive your system becomes after you install Samsung’s fastest 8TB consumer solid-state drive. This metric is measured through IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), and with the 9100 PRO achieving random read and write IOPS of up to 2,200K and 2,600K, respectively, that’s when you know that your PC will become lightning fast.
These speed levels are hard to imagine, but they come with one major drawback; the 9100 PRO can reach wicked-high temperatures. To combat this, Samsung has incorporated various advancements, such as a heat spreader and a nickel-plated storage controller. However, whether you slot this into your desktop or laptop computer, it is imperative that the 9100 PRO gets some kind of additional passive cooling solution, or else you will run into thermal throttling problems much sooner than later.
Thankfully, you can monitor the 9100 PRO’s health and thermals using Samsung’s Magician Software, which provides all sorts of data and timely firmware updates that will prevent the SSD’s performance from going into free fall. With all that you’re getting and more, that $250 discount is definitely a gift from the heavens, and you’ll not want to miss out on this offer.
