If you’re quick you can grab yourself a fantastic early Black Friday bargain thanks to this incredible Samsung SSD deal. With 42% off its MSRP, this drive is right now at its lowest price since last year’s Black Friday sales, so you’re unlikely to see it at a lower price again any time soon.
The Samsung 990 Pro is the drive in question, and while it’s a few years old now, it’s still among the best gaming SSD options out there thanks to it being one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 drives. What’s more, with this discount applying to the 4TB version, you’re getting a huge capacity for this discounted price.
The Samsung 990 Pro boasts sequential read and write speeds of 7,450 MB/s and 6,900MB/s respectively, making it faster than other popular PCIe 4.0 SSDs such as you can read about in our WD Black SN850X review and our Samsung 980 Pro review. There are faster PCIe 5.0 drives out there, but the ones currently available all tend to run rather hot and the extra speed is of diminishing benefit to a gaming PC.
As for the discount, this 4TB drive is priced right now at $269.99, which makes it still a relatively premium option for a 4TB drive, but cheaper drives can’t match the performance on offer here. If you’re looking to get the best performance possible for your money, this is a great option.
The drive on offer comes without a heatsink, so it’s the cheapest possible version of the drive – the heatsink version is more expensive, so we recommend making sure your motherboard has an inbuilt M.2 SSD heatsink. These drives don’t run as hot as PCIe 5.0 drives, but it’s worth having the extra cooling for that peace of mind.
The 1TB version of this drive is also featured in Amazon’s early Black Friday sales, and is again at one of the cheapest prices we’ve seen for it, at just $92.46. Otherwise, follow this link to grab this discounted 4TB drive or, for UK readers, you can also get this drive for its lowest price this year by following this link.
