Today on Amazon Samsung 990 EVO 2TB SSD is discounted to one of its lowest prices ever. It debuted with a fairly unreasonable retail price of $239, so it’s exhilarating to see it priced as low as $129. This SSD stands out in terms of compatibility, as it can run in both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 interface modes. There’s no confirmed expiration date for the discount, so we’re not sure how long it’ll be offered at this price.
We took the opportunity to review Samsung 990 EVO 2TB SSD in February this year and found it to be an overall good experience, giving it 3 out of 5 stars. Performance was as expected, although it didn’t particularly stand out due to the high price. It also lacked somewhat in energy efficiency, but its performance and flexibility made it a more worthwhile investment.
This Amazon deal is for the 2TB Samsung 990 EVO, but a 1TB capacity is also available. Both drives in the lineup feature an M.2 2280 form factor and support PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 connectivity. They rely on the Samsung Piccolo controller and can reach read/write speeds of up to 5000/4200MB/s.
If you buy the 2TB Samsung 990 EVO, your device will be covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty from Samsung. However, if you reach 1200 TBW, the warranty may expire before the half-decade. This M.2 SSD is also covered by Amazon’s 30-day return policy. Visit Samsung 990 EVO 2TB SSD product page on Amazon for more details and purchasing options.
