There’s little comfort for PC builders and laptop owners knowing that SSD prices have gone up thanks to the DRAM shortage, but Amazon has presented buyers with a little gift with which they can upgrade their storage while also making their systems snappier. The Samsung 990 PRO PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD in the 2TB variant is now down to $389.99 after a 39 percent discount on the online retailer. Given that this is a rare deal, there’s no time like the present to make a purchase.
With its DRAM cache and sequential speeds upwards of 7,000MB/s, Samsung’s 990 PRO won’t disappoint you
It might take a while for the prices to stabilize, but a 39 percent discount is something that you should be thrilled about. After all, the 990 PRO is one of the finest PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs available, reaching sequential read and write speeds of 7,450MB/s and 6,900MB/s, respectively. The 2TB version also features 2GB of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, allowing you to maintain performance for much larger files for a longer period.
These drives are also extremely efficient, with Samsung stating that the 990 PRO can reach a peak power draw of 6.1W when under load. Furthermore, this PCIe NVMe Gen 4 solid-state drive has top-tier durability, with Samsung boasting a 1.5 million MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), along with a 1,200TBW (terabytes written) endurance. In a nutshell, before you wear out the 990 PRO, there will probably be something much better for you to check out.
If there’s one precaution that we’ll advise buyers, it’s that PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs can get notoriously hot, especially the 990 PRO. To ensure that this drive performs optimally, neatly apply thermal pads and the passive heatsink to deliver proper heat transfer, or else you’ll experience thermal throttling. With that out of the way, you can now get down to purchasing the 2TB 990 PRO.
