Friends and other tech gurus, it’s a great day to expand your storage. The Samsung 990 SSD is massively discounted right now at Amazon. The 1TB version is down to just $100 with a crazy 38% discount. Additionally, the 2TB model is down 32% to $170 and the 4TB one is down by 31% to $320.
This fourth generation SSD has read speeds of up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,900 MB/s which is designed for high-end computing, gaming, and heavy duty workstations. This is anyone who does lots of photo or video editing, deals with massive datasets, or just would like to be able to load a single Call of Duty game.
You’ll get this great performance for way less power too. That’s right, compared to the 980 Pro, the Samsung 990 Pro’s power efficiency has up to 50% improved performance per watt. Consume less power while you game.
Any PlayStation 5 Gamers Out There?
Also take a look, the version with a heatsink is also on sale. What is a heatsink? Well it’s a piece of metal that can dissipate the heat from the device, stabilizing both its temperature and help eliminate performance issues. Importantly, it means you can use it with your PlayStation 5.
The PlayStation 5 comes with a 825GB drive. However, a good chunk of that is used toward the core system files, leaving the player with roughly 667.2GB of usable storage for their games. I just downloaded Mortal Kombat 1 last night, and with the 4K textures installed as well, it eats up 179.1GB of that. And the big DLC expansion comes out in just a few weeks. My storage is cooked, I should probably get one of these actually.
One of the best accessories you can get yourself for the PS5 is an expansion solid state drive, but it’s required that you use one with a heatsink otherwise you would run into all sorts of trouble.
Luckily, the heatsink versions are also on sale. Right now, you can get the 1TB Samsung 990 Pro for $130 (26% off), the 2TB version for $187 (29% off), and the 4TB version for $340 (29% off). Say goodbye to file management and the need to delete games off to make up room for the new stuff.
And again, if you’re just looking to pop this in a PC without the heatsink, the standard Samsung 990 Pro starts at $100 for the 1TB model (38% off). You can grab the 2TB model for 32% off or the 4TB model for 31% off. Happy computing!
