Some of my favorite gear

Samsung 9100 PRO 14,800MB/s Gen 5 SSD

The NM790 is one of Lexar’s popular PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs, delivering impressive performance with read and write speeds reaching up to 7,400 MB/s and 6,500 MB/s, respectively. The version on sale today comes with a pre-installed heatsink, and it’s available in storage options from 1TB to 4TB. These drives use the dependable Maxio MAP1602 controller, and each of them comes with a 5-year warranty and is rated for 1.5 million hours MTBF or up to 3,000TB of data written. You can also get a variant of this 2TB SSD without a heatsink that’s currently going for $129.99 shipped, so you might want to cash in on today’s deal and snag the more expensive model with heatsink for a touch lower to use in a PS5 or a PC motherboard that lacks built-in SSD cooling.

If you don’t mind splurging more today, Samsung’s 9100 Pro Gen 5 drive is currently at $170. This is a brand-new model capable of hitting speeds up to 14,800MB/s, and it’s down to its lowest price right now at $30 off.
