The 990 PRO is not what you would call a solid-state drive that is healthy on the wallet, but thankfully, Samsung decided to cater to the rest of the masses by introducing various capacities for the more affordable version, the 990 EVO Plus. With the latest discount on Amazon, the 4TB version of the less expensive SSD is now listed for $249.97, making it the lowest price of the year so far.
As you all know, Samsung needs no introduction when it comes to making memory products that are oozing with quality, and that is when you know that you have struck gold with the 990 EVO Plus. Since this drive supports the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol, its speeds can reach up to 7,250MB/s, which is just shy of the 7,450MB/s bandwidth attainable by the pricier 990 PRO. In addition to delivering blistering-fast speeds, the 990 EVO Plus supports all the necessary software that you can download from Samsung’s website.
This includes being able to monitor the SSD’s health or migrating data from your older drive onto the 990 EVO Plus. We have recommended readers to pick up the 4TB version because not only is it discounted on the online retailer, but given the pace at which games, programs, and system updates are chewing through data, it is only a matter of time before these capacities become the norm. Sure, if you have a constrained budget, you can always opt for the 2TB version, which is currently available for $129.99 and carries a 30 percent price cut.
However, if you want to futureproof yourself, you will heed our warning and get the 4TB model. Another perk of getting the 990 EVO Plus is that, thanks to its increased speeds, it is compatible with the PS5.
