Now Tariffs Are Gone, Amazon Smashes Samsung SSD 990 Pro Prices To An All-Time Low

If you want to keep up with all the big game releases of the year, you’re not going to be able to do that without either immediately deleting them after playing or by expanding your storage capacity. When new titles clock in at over 100GB, you need to make some tough choices in terms of what gets to stay around. The easy solution it to just get yourself a much bigger solid state drive.

The Samsung 990 Pro SSD heavily discounted at the moment over at Amazon: The savings range from $60 to $163 off depending on the exact version you get, be it 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB. For instance, the 1TB model is available for $99 on Amazon, which is a almost a 40% discount from its regular price of $159, while the 4TB version has dropped to $302 from $464. The 2TB model is also on sale for $164, down 34% from its $249 original price.

Say goodbye to long load times in the games you play: The Samsung 990 Pro Gen 4 SSD is designed for superior performance with fast speeds while maintaining power efficiency. It has read speeds of up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,900 MB/s. This generation 4 SSD from Samsung will help you achieve this high performance while using less power overall. Compared to the 980 Pro, the 990 Pro is capable of up to 50% improved performance per watt. Great for not just gaming, but any intensive workflows like video editing, 3D modeling, or working with large datasets.

For PlayStation 5 Players Too

Gaming consoles need the extra space just as much as gaming PCs do. The original PlayStation 5 comes with only 825 GB of internal storage. With the ballooning size of AAA games on the market, you’ll be lucky if you can have more than three games downloaded onto your system at a time.

We have good news: The PS5’s storage can be expanded by installing a compatible M.2 solid state drive. The Samsung 990 is compatible, but with a catch. You’re going to want the heatsink option to prevent overheating. The heatsink also has futuristic RGB LED lights because of course it does. Right now, you can get the 1TB version of the 990 Pro with a heatsink for $108. The 2TB version goes for $180 while the 4TB version goes for $324.

That’s just for the console players though. If you yourself or the loved one you’re buying for is gaming on PC, then the non-heatsink version will work out just fine. Get the Samsung 990 Pro starting at $100 for the 1TB version ($60 off), $170 for the 2TB version ($80 off), or $202 for the 4TB version ($163 off).
