The ultra fast Samsung 990 Pro SSD is down to its lowest price yet in the US Prime Day 2 sale
Grab one of the fastest SSDs for PC and PS5 for an incredible price.
Amazon Prime Day 2 is still underway and if you're on the hunt for a massive internal storage upgrade for your PC or PS5, then you won't want to miss out on this exciting offer.
Samsung's 990 Pro 4TB NVMe SSD, the fastest solid state drive on the market right now, is down to just $279.99 at Amazon US, which is a huge $70 off its previous price tag of $344.99.

This crème de la crème of solid state drives is compatible with PC, and with the PS5 console if you pair it with a PS5 compatible heatsink. If you'd prefer to buy an SSD that already comes with one, this 2TB variant of the Samsung 990 Pro with its premium heatsink is also on sale for a lower price point of $129.99 (was $149.99). Buying two of these could technically work out cheaper for PC owners, but it all depends how much storage you want in one slot.

Both size variants boast super fast read and write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s respectively, meaning you’ll reach near max performance of PCIe 4.0 - which is outstanding performance. Its random read speeds of up to 1.4M IOPS reads and 1.55M IOPS for random writes are highly impressive and, as Will Judd of Digital Foundry quite simply says, "are as good as it gets".
So if you're looking for a sizeable storage expansion this month, you should really look no further than this Samsung 990 Pro SSD if you want the best of the best.
