Summary
Next to buying RAM, finding a fast, high-capacity NVMe SSD at a reasonable price has been a challenge during RAMageddon. I don’t want to say it’s getting easier, but one of Samsung’s latest SSDs is cheaper than it has sold for since February 2026. That’s something, right? Amazon has the heatsink-less version of the Samsung 9100 Pro with 2TB of storage for 100 less than the usual price. Granted, it sold for a low of 250.
Samsung’s 2TB 9100 Pro SSD is actually somewhat reasonably priced
The best price since February 2026. Other deals include half off Samsung’s 32-inch 4K smart monitor, and more.

The 9100 Pro is Samsung’s first SSD to support PCIe Gen 5, making it a great fit if you have the right motherboard and other parts to get as much speed from it as possible. Its theoretical maximum random read and write speeds are at least twice as fast as the 990 Pro SSD that it replaced. However, it’s good (albeit slower than advertised) in a PCIe Gen 4 setup, as well.
It’ll work fine without a heatsink in a PC or laptop (though, it’s never a bad idea to use one that fits in your system). However, you’ll need to install a heatsink in order to use this in a PlayStation 5, due to potential heat issues that could damage the SSD if used without one. Thankfully, heatsinks are super affordable, and come in a range of designs and price points.

- Another Samsung-made product made the cut for today’s roundup. Its Smart Monitor lineup is worth considering if you want a PC monitor that can double as a TV, as well as a screen that you can do video chats on. Its 32-inch M8 4K monitor just hits its lowest price at AmazonandB&H Photo, selling for 699.99 price that it hasn’t sold for since the turn of the year. In addition to boasting USB-C and HDMI inputs for your desktop or laptop, the M8 natively supports video streaming apps, plus picture-in-picture models to let you multitask.I reviewed one of its older modelsreleased in 2022, and a 424 atAmazon,Best Buy, and at theGoogle Storein all of its colorways (including the fantastic berry), which is its second-best price to date. It’s 399 once in a flash-in-the-pan sale during Prime Day. While we thought the Pixel 10A was a little too safe (not enough unique features to justify upgrading from the Pixel 9A), it’s a solid phone that offers great camera quality, seven years of software support, and other great specs.Read our review. - The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni wireless gaming headset received its first-ever price drop at Amazon,Best Buy, and fromSteelSeriesdirectly. It’s a small one, though. Normally 379.99, bringing it closer in price to its main competitor, the 379.99 price, so definitely get the newer model if you’re shopping right now.
