Overview

• Amazon lists the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 4 TB at €239.90, about 25% below the €317.99 RRP, which PC-WELT reports as a new lowest price.
• Proshop is offering the Samsung 9100 PRO 2 TB without a heatsink for €209.99, a notably low price for a PCIe 5.0 drive per Chip.de’s tracking.
• CHIP’s lab measured the 4 TB 9100 PRO at over 12,000 MB/s for reads and writes with very low access times, earning a ‘Sehr gut (1,1)’ rating on March 21, 2025.
• Samsung rates the 990 Evo Plus at up to 7,250 MB/s read and 6,300 MB/s write, operating over two PCIe 5.0 lanes or four on PCIe 4.0, while PC-WELT notes inconsistent PCIe 5.0 performance in practice.
• The 9100 PRO ships without a heatsink and is deemed unsuitable for PS5 upgrades, making motherboard cooling and platform support key considerations for sustained performance.
