Customer orders two Samsung 9100 Pro SSDs, receives 20 SSDs worth over $5,100 instead — lucky score of two boxes packed with ultra-fast 2 TB PCIe 5.0 drives
In what could only be described as an extremely timely Christmas miracle, a Redditor has received two full boxes of expensive, flagship SSDs worth $5,100, even though they paid for just two. A tale of Amazon's packaging error turned into relief amidst the ongoing component crisis.

A serendipitous Redditor has stumbled upon a treasure worth gold in these trying times: twenty of some of the best SSDs, worth $5,100, for the price of just two. Yes, while the rest of us mere mortals are stuck coping with the drought-ridden production lines of NAND flash and DRAM, this lucky buyer received a blessing that is nothing short of a Christmas miracle — or an Amazon packaging error.
For context, one of these Samsung 9100 Pro 2 TB drives costs $254.99 on Amazon right now, so twenty of them would cost around $5,100. The person originally ordered only two, which means they paid a little over $500 for SSDs worth ten times as much. How such a mix-up happened in the first place, well, the OP didn't expound upon that.
Funnily enough, this isn't even the first time something like this has happened. Of course, there are plenty of unfortunate deliveries, but some good eggs also make it through. We covered a similar story a few months ago, where another Redditor ordered a single Samsung 990 Evo Plus SSD but instead got a box full of them worth almost $1,000. Though these 9100 Pros certainly carry more swag (and more quantity).

Not to mention, these are Samsung's top-of-the-line PCIe 5.0 drives with sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s, respectively. If it weren't for a few other options on our best SSDs roundup, Samsung's 9100 Pro would be the top choice for a flagship build today, and of the leaderboards.
