A myriad number of high-capacity solid-state drives have been discounted as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, and while the options are plentiful, we wanted to turn our focus to the 990 EVO Plus. For the longest time, if you wanted one of Samsung’s ultra-fast PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs to deliver unrivaled speeds in your system, you would have to pick the 990 PRO, and apart from today, this drive is not available at an affordable price. Thankfully, the Korean giant made the smart move by introducing a more wallet-friendly counterpart, the 990 EVO Plus.
The 4TB version of this solid-state drive is currently listed for $249.99, which is the lowest price that we have seen for the entire year, and since it supports the newer PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard, its read speeds can touch an impressive 7,250MB/s, with the write speeds topping at 6,300MB/s. Anyone who owns a capable desktop, laptop, or even a PS5 will know the advantage these speeds bring to the table, but another perk here is that the 990 EVO Plus supports Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0, which helps to transfer larger files in the blink of an eye for longer periods.
Also, the 990 EVO Plus supports the standard size for an M.2 SSD, meaning that you can slot it in any machine, and it will fit in just fine. If you are looking for a premium alternative, and you happen to have $30 available from your existing budget, you can acquire the 990 PRO in the same 4TB capacity, with Samsung’s PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD going for $279.99 on Amazon. However, if you prefer maximum savings, the 990 EVO Plus is a terrific upgrade too.
