If you’re waiting to replace your SSD, it’s best to choose a high-quality, high-capacity option. SSD performance can impact everything from your operating system to your gaming and content creation experience. However, you don’t have to spend a fortune on the fastest SSD to enjoy a good experience. For example, today we came across a lot of information about Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB SSD. It debuted with a price tag of $479, but can now be purchased for just $289. This offer applies to the heatsink version, so you get the added bonus of optimized passive heat dissipation.
We had the opportunity to get acquainted with Samsung 990 Pro and overall we really liked it – and this version didn’t come with a heatsink. Ultimately, we gave it a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars for its outstanding performance and energy efficiency. Our biggest complaint was the high MSRP, but today’s discount is almost half the original price, completely eliminating that concern. Amazon hasn’t clarified the expiration date for the discount, so we’re not sure how long it will be available at this price.
This offer applies to the 4TB version, but other capacities are also available, including 1TB and 2TB versions. All SSDs in the Samsung 990 Pro line are equipped with the M.2 2280 format and exploit PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces for connections. This SSD is designed based on the Samsung Pascal controller and uses 236-layer (V8) V-NAND TLC memory. The 4TB version can reach read/write speeds of up to 7450/6900 MB/s.
Please note that this offer applies to the heatsink version, so you don’t need to purchase anything extra to lend a hand manage the temperature of your SSD as long as your system has adequate airflow. Your purchase is covered by Samsung’s 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, which expires once the drive reaches 2,400 TBW. Since the offer is provided through Amazon, you also have a 30-day returns policy that you can take advantage of.
Again, we’re not sure how long Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB SSD will be available at this price, but you can click and go to the official product page on Amazon for more information and payment options.
