Samsung 990 Pro 2TB PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 SSD

$179.99 save 17% $149.99 at Amazon

Today's deal brings Samsung's fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD to its lowest price – the 2TB 990 Pro is now just $149.99 with free Amazon shipping. Recognized as a top-performing Gen4 SSD, it's perfect for upgrading your PS5 storage (don't forget a heatsink) or supercharging your gaming PC's boot drive.

Next-Gen Performance

The 990 Pro represents a significant leap from its 980 Pro predecessor, delivering 50% better performance per watt. Its impressive specs include 7,450MB/s read and 6,900MB/s write speeds with 1400K/1550K IOPS random performance.

What sets this SSD apart is Samsung's in-house manufacturing of all critical components, including:

• The advanced Pascal controller
• 7th generation TLC NAND flash
• Dedicated DRAM cache (unlike budget DRAM-less alternatives)

PS5 Compatibility

While technically overkill for Sony's console (the PS5's internal SSD caps at 5,500MB/s), this 990 Pro with included heatsink offers:

• Better performance than required specifications
• Surprisingly competitive pricing versus slower options
• Premium built-in aluminum heatsink for optimal thermal management
