The 9100 PRO series, which starts from $199.99 on Amazon, is Samsung’s finest work in the insanely fast solid-state drive space. However, before that, we had the 990 PRO, which commands excellent value thanks to its speed, price, and of course, performance. Unfortunately, the 4TB version of the previous-generation SSD has been slowly picking up pace on the expensive ladder because, at the time of writing, the variant that ships without the heatsink is currently available for $299.99, resulting in a 35 percent discount.
Still, it is an excellent option if you not only want capacity but are also looking to live a stress-free life because the 990 PRO commands incredible reliability thanks to being manufactured by Samsung. At its peak, the 4TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD can reach speeds of up to 7,450MB/s, with write speeds going as high as 6,900MB/s. Samsung claims that the bandwidth achieved by the 990 PRO is up to 55 percent higher than what the 980 PRO could attain, making this drive a worthy addition to your PS5, PC, or gaming laptop.
Samsung also includes its suite of health-monitoring and firmware-updating software, which is free to download and lets you monitor if the 990 PRO is working optimally. The company raises the bar by also seamlessly allowing users to transfer their existing data from one drive to the new SSD in just a few simple steps. In short, the level of convenience that you get from this purchase more than justifies its discount, and you will be pleased to learn that if you want to acquire the version that ships with a heatsink, that too is discounted on Amazon and is going for $319.99.
