Samsung’s 2TB 9100 PRO SSD is $279.98 below Amazon’s list price at $399.99

Samsung’s 2TB 9100 PRO is a seriously quick SSD for a PC that can take advantage of PCIe 5.0, and it is currently $399.99 at Amazon. Amazon displays a $679.97 list price, making the difference $279.98. There is some useful price history to understand before calling that a bargain, though.

This offer is for model MZ-VAP2T0B/AM, the version without a pre-installed heatsink. When I checked, the new drive was sold and shipped by Amazon, and the displayed $399.99 price did not require a coupon or Prime membership.

Amazon’s comparison is against its displayed list price, not a verified recent selling price. Samsung originally announced the 2TB drive with a $299.99 suggested price in 2025, while a Samsung US price sheet effective June 2026 lists it at $679.99. Neither figure tells us what every retailer charged in between, so I would compare current alternatives before ordering.

Check your PC before paying for PCIe 5.0 speed

Samsung rates the 2TB drive for sequential reads of up to 14,700MB/s and writes of up to 13,400MB/s. Those are manufacturer figures under test conditions; the speeds you see will depend on your hardware and workload.

You will need a compatible PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe M.2 slot to get the full benefit of those headline speeds. I recommend checking your motherboard or laptop documentation before ordering, including the slot’s length and cooling requirements. The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, and this particular offer does not include Samsung’s heatsink model.

For large file transfers and demanding storage work, the extra bandwidth may be appealing. If your main use is launching games on an older PCIe 4.0 system, compare the price with good PCIe 4.0 drives as well. A bigger sequential speed number does not automatically mean the same improvement in every game or everyday task.

Samsung gives the 2TB model a five-year limited warranty

The 2TB capacity leaves room for a sizeable game library alongside applications and working files, although the usable capacity reported by your operating system will be lower than the advertised number. Samsung also provides its Magician software for drive monitoring and firmware updates.

Samsung lists a five-year limited warranty for the series, subject to its written-data limit. For the 2TB model, the company specifies 1,200 terabytes written; the warranty ends when either limit is reached, so check the full terms for your region.

If this is the drive you want, check the current price, seller and delivery options on Amazon’s listing before ordering. And if another 2TB SSD suits your PC just as well, compare its current price before paying extra for PCIe 5.0.
