The absolute best in blazing-fast SSD technology is now up to $120 cheaper on Amazon, and those who have been keeping a close track of the industry will know that Samsung is one of the world’s finest memory manufacturers. The Korean giant’s 9100 PRO PCIe NVMe Gen 5 solid-state drives are currently the company’s fastest, reaching up to an eye-popping 14,800MB/s in sequential read speeds, while topping at 13,400MB/s in the sequential write department.
With the 9100 PRO being twice as fast as Samsung’s 990 PRO PCIe NVMe Gen 4 series, your system will also become hyper-responsive thanks to random read and write IOPS of 2,200K and 2,600K, respectively. As for the price, the 9100 PRO lineup starts from $154.99 for the version without the heatsink, with the 2TB version going for $229.99. Lastly, the 4TB variant is available for $429.99 and has received the highest discount on Amazon, which we have already mentioned above. Of course, these speed levels will obviously come at a severe thermal trade-off.
Fortunately, Samsung uses the more advanced 5nm controller that boosts efficiency by up to 49 percent compared to the 990 PRO, ensuring better reliability when doing some intensive work on the 9100 PRO. If you are hunting for a more affordable alternative, the WD_BLACK SN8100 is another PCIe NVMe Gen 5 SSD that sports similar specifications as the 9100 PRO, and you will be ecstatic to hear that the 2TB version is currently going for $199.99, making it more affordable than Samsung’s fastest solid-state drive boasting the same storage.
