The reasons for it keep stacking up: first, the pandemic; then a data-mining boom; plus constant inflation; followed by AI computing needs, tariffs, and higher gas prices. It's been a recipe for unattainable products, which is why this Amazon Prime Day SSD deal is so exciting. For Prime Big Deal Days, the 1TB Samsung SSD9100 Pro is down to $197, marking one of the first and best SSD discounts we've seen in months.
It's not uncommon to find this exact stick down below MSRP — it typically hovers around $250 outside this event. Regardless, this is still $50 better than usual, and an exceptional chance to save if you're a PC or PS5 owner in need of some extra power. PS5 owners can also score some great heatsink deals during the event.
Samsung SSD 9100 Pro 1TB The Samsung 9100 PRO is a seriously fast PCIe 5.0 SSD built for demanding gaming, creative work, and heavy multitasking. This 1TB model can reach read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s, making it a strong upgrade if your PC supports Gen 5 storage and you want faster load times and file transfers. For discounts spanning every category, check out our October Prime Day hub for the latest and greatest.
Amazon Why the Samsung 9100 Pro is an upgrade For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to imagine how this stick can improve your rig's performance. Simply put, this SSD adds a boatload of storage, speeds up boot times and load screens, and more. It can make a hefty difference that you may not realize you need.
Shoppers with the original PS5 console or the PS5 Digital Edition can nearly double their game storage capacity with this 1TB SSD, since both were released with an 825GB SSD out of the box. A heatsink is a critical inclusion, though, since Sony requires a suitable model for M.2 expansion drives. Luckily, several options are also on sale for October Prime Day.
