The Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB sits at number 10 in this round-up, and at £199.99 it is the most expensive drive in it. It is a PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 drive, sold here in the version with a heatsink fitted, and Samsung quotes up to 14,800 MB/s read and 13,400 MB/s write. The listing names the Sony PlayStation 5 under compatible console models.

That compatibility line is where the numbers stop lining up. The PS5 takes a PCIe 4.0 drive, so the 14,800 MB/s figure is not reachable in the console — and the fastest Gen4 drive in this round-up, at £155.99, quotes 7,200 MB/s, which the console's own bus will not outrun. The listing's own spec table also contradicts itself on shape: one field reads '2.5 Inches', another reads 'M2', and the stated dimensions are 80.15 x 25 x 8.88 mm. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from a drive we tested ourselves.
