Samsung's Latest Gaming SSD Hits Lowest Price Ever, Now Heatsink Version Costs Less Than Standard
If you want to play all the big game releases of 2025, then you're going to either have to get used to deleting them the moment you're done with them or by purchasing additional storage space. Every new game that comes out seems to be trying to beat the record for most gigabytes in one file, sometimes breaking into the triple digits. So either go make some tough decisions of what to keep saved or pick up a new SSD. Thankfully, the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD is on sale. Head on over to Amazon and you'll see you can save anywhere from $10 all the way up to $70 — depending on how high a capacity you choose. Right now, the 1TB model is down from $200 to just $155, the 2TB is down from $240 to $230, and the 4TB is down from $450 to $425. The heatsink models are discounted as well. Of those, you'll find the 1TB down from $220 to $165 and the 2TB down from $260 to $190. The 4TB seems to be out of stock at the time of writing. See at Amazon With the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, you're not just welcoming more PC or console storage space into your life. This SSD is designed to provide super fast load times without sacrificing power efficiency. It's capable of read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 13,400 MB/s. You'll get high performance out of your gaming rig while potentially using less power. You'll find improved performance not just while you game, but all across the board like when working in intensive applications like any video editing software or when working with huge databases. Not on PC? Not a problem. PlayStation 5 players can take advantage of the additional storage space the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD. And you're going to want it too. The launch model PS5 only comes with a measly 825GB of internal storage. When I first got mine, I remember filling it up before that first weekend came to a close. The only catch with installing an internal solid state drive to your PlayStation 5 is you need to make sure you pick up one with a heatsink. These are designed to help prevent overheating while playing. The Samsung 9100 Pro has a heatsink option and it's super easy to install. I'd recommend just following along with any of the countless tutorials folks have uploaded to YouTube. So if you never again want to think about running out of space to save your games, grab the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD with or without the heatsink today. You can get it for as much as $70 off and for as low as $155. See at Amazon

Sandisk WD Hits a Blistering 14,900MBps With PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD
Gamers have a new Gen 5 SSD to consider for their next upgrade. Sandisk released its WD_Black SN8100 NVMe SSD, which, it claims, offers sequential write speeds up to 14,900MBps. Sandisk says that its new drive is the fastest PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD in the world. That appears to be the case, but just by a smidge. The Sandisk WD_Black SN8100 just beats out the Samsung 9100 Pro, which offers read speeds of 14,800MBps. Credit: Sandisk It will be interesting to see how Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors handle the WD_Black SN8100. As we noted recently, The SSD Review encountered some latency issues when testing 14,000MBps memory with Intel's high-performance CPUs. The SSD Review tried different SSD modules and brands with the same results, suggesting that all SSDs might have reduced read times when paired with those CPUs. More testing will need to be done before that's clear, though. Beyond the blistering 14,900MBps sequential read speeds, the SN8100 also offers 11,000MBps sequential write speeds and random write speeds of 2.3 million IOPs. (That random write speed is for the 2TB and 4TB versions.) Sandisk offers the SSDs with or without the heatsink for different users and needs, but gamers will want to snag it with the heatsink. The passive WD_Black heatsink has customizable RGB lighting. That's a nice touch for the sizeable chunk of gamers who dig LED lights in their PCs. It's worth noting that Sandisk is marketing the SSD for high-performance PCs and various AI uses, in addition to gamers. Sandisk already has models available at 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB, with a whopping 8TB model coming 'later this year.' It'll be tempting to wait for that 8TB version, but with the 4TB module coming in at an MSRP of $569.99, you can expect the larger model to be a budget-buster for many prospective buyers.
