The competition in the solid-state drive business continues to heat up, with a multitude of companies, including Chinese players, having entered the U.S. with significantly affordable alternatives. Previously, if you wanted a high-speed PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD from the more reputable companies like Samsung, it was required that you spend a premium for its products. Likely realizing that it cannot compete with the other brands in this area, the company quickly introduced the 990 EVO Plus, a cheaper alternative to the 990 PRO that goes light on the wallet but not on the features.
With the 4TB capacity available for $249.99 after a 28 percent discount, you can avail some considerable savings while also giving your PC, laptop, or PS5 a solid storage and performance boost. The 990 EVO Plus supports the faster PCIe NVMe Gen 4, meaning that its speeds can reach up to 7,250MB/s, making it one of the fastest drives around that supports this protocol. The read speeds can touch 6,300MB/s, so in other words, you will be transferring terabytes and terabytes of data in the blink of an eye.
However, keep in mind that the faster the solid-state drive is, the hotter it will run. Samsung realized this and, according to the company, it has added a nickel-coated controller to maintain the 990 EVO Plus’ temperatures while delivering unrivaled performance in this price range. For those who do not know, the $249.99 is one of the lowest figures from Amazon, and looking at the slew of discounts introduced by the e-commerce giant, it appears that these price cuts are going to stay for a while.
Then again, if you can spare the budget right away, we will not advise readers to waste precious time, because there is no telling when another offer on the 4TB 990 EVO Plus will show up once more.
