SSD prices remain absolutely exorbitant, but this discount on Samsung's 9100 Pro 1TB SSD was a rare bright spot during Prime Day. It's not the cheapest we've ever seen this drive, but right now you can still get it for $206 at Amazon, 39% off and the lowest price we've seen in months. Make the most of this deal while you can.

Unlike the Gen 4 990 Pro, the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD boasts sequential read speeds of up to 14,700MB/s thanks to PCIe 5.0. As such, it's one of the fastest drives on the market, perfect for high-performance gaming or heavy professional workloads. By contrast, the 990 Pro is actually more expensive, currently $219 at Amazon, despite the fact that it offers about half the read and write speeds of this drive. While SSD prices are massively inflated, this drive's previous lowest-ever price was $126, so percentage-wise it's a big step up, but in real terms, it's only $80 more expensive than you'd have paid last year pre-AI price crunch. A tough pill to swallow, but if you want a good Gen 5 SSD for a new PC build or your PS5, this is one of the better options.

Get the 1TB version of the 9100 Pro for $206, around 20 cents per GB. It comes with 236-Layer Samsung TLC (V8) flash memory and is rated for sequential read and write speeds of 14,700 MB/s and 13,300 MB/s, respectively. View Deal

During Prime Day, we also saw a significant discount on the 2TB version, which was priced at $349. It's now back up to $399, which is still slightly better value per GB but a much bigger outlay overall. At 41% off, this is down from the highest price of $505 in April, but nowhere near the $169 you'd have got it for last year.

This drive is identical in spec, but its heftier capacity makes it 19 cents per GB, ever-so-slightly better value, but not as cheap as we saw on Prime Day. View Deal

This drive is no slouch, and while it's not the out-and-out fastest drive on the market, it leaves most SSDs in the dust, as you can see from our testing data below:

Notably, in PCMark 10 Storage tests, the 9100 scored higher than any other drive we've tested. As mentioned, at the very least this deal is a no-brainer pick over the 990 Pro, which isn't as fast or as cheap (provided your motherboard supports PCIe 5.0, of course).
