Of the thousands of products we’ve reviewed here at PCWorld, the Samsung 990 Pro SSD stands out because it’s one of the best all-around SSDs to add to any setup, especially if you plan on gaming.
When we reviewed the Samsung 990 Pro SSD, we found that it had “top-tier everyday performance” and mainly knocked it for its higher-than-average $265 MSRP. But now that it’s on sale for just $140 at Amazon, it’s pretty much flawless. In fact, it’s a steal.
For the past 12 years, I’ve been writing exclusively about tech, and in the past two years, I’ve focused mostly on amazing ways to save money on these tech products we love. So when I saw the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro available for $140, the lowest price it’s been available for since last year’s Black Friday, I knew I had to share it.
This next-gen NVMe SSD boasts incredible read and write speeds of up to 7,450 and 6,900 MB/s, respectively, making it ideal for gamers and tech enthusiasts. Whenever you have a lot of data to write, you can rest assured this drive will work wonderfully.
You’ll get quick loading times for games and apps, and the 2TB capacity is certainly enough for whatever you plan to store on it, including all those Steam games you swear you’re going to play.
The Samsung 990 Pro comes in multiple storage options — both with and without heatsink — all of which are on sale. The 1TB version is $100 (save $75) while the 4TB model is $280 (save $200) for Prime Day.
Get whichever one feels best for you, but my vote goes to the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro that’s hitting a sweet price right now.
