Prime Day takes aim at RAMaggeddon: This Samsung SSD for your PC or PS5 Pro is almost half price
As well as access to these exclusive Prime Big Deal Days savings, you can get free Prime shipping, access to Prime Video streaming, Prime Music, Amazon Luna gaming, unlimited cloud photo storage and a whole lot more.
AI has a lot to answer for when it comes to picking up PC components and hardware, and while there are good deals to be found on fully-built gaming PCs, that doesn’t help if you just need more storage for your existing rig.
Thankfully, Prime Day has a sneaky deal that helps significantly bring down the price of SSD storage. Not only that, but it’s available in multiple sizes, and with a big-name brand attached: Samsung.
If you’re running out of space to install your games on PC (or PS5), this might be the deal you’ve been waiting for.
PS5 and PC gamers, this storage deal is for you
The Samsung SSD 9100 is a rapid solid-state drive that’s ideal for a high-end PC. The drive’s 14,700/13,300 MB/s sequential read/write speeds mean games load faster, so you can get into the action more quickly.
And while Xbox Series S and X gamers can use an expandable memory card solution for their consoles, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro owners can pop a drive like this one right into their systems and get a huge boost to their available storage space with no speed downsides.
The trouble has been one of price for a long time. Now that we’re in the grip of RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon/RAMpture, looking for a deal on SSDs is more important than ever.
Right now, Amazon is offering a 1TB model for $196.64, a reduction of 42% from the list price of $339.99.
If you’re looking for additional space, other options are available, but the bigger the drive, the bigger the price tag. You can save 51% on a 2TB drive, bringing it down to $334.99, or 46% on a 4TB model that brings the price from $1,359.99 to $734.99.
Desperate for even more? The $2,719.99 8TB is reduced to $2,299.99, an eye-watering amount that no doubt reminds us of when components were much, much cheaper.
