There aren’t many SSDs that manage to score full marks across the board during our testing, but the 990 Pro achieved just that.

Our review called it “an absolutely stellar M.2 SSD for both professional users and gamers,” and still maintain that if you’re building a new PC (or upgrading your old one), this SSD should be at the top of your wishlist.

It’s capable of hitting up to 7450 MB/s read speeds and write speeds up to 6900 MB/s, making it a top choice for content creation, gaming, and complex workloads. With a $270 discount, it’s an unmissable deal.

There aren’t many internal SSDs that get top marks in our testing, but the Samsung 990 Pro is one of them. We praised this high-performance solid-state drive in our review, where it proved to save large files quickly.

In fact, we said at the time: “This is easily one of the fastest SSDs we’ve ever tested, so you can expect top-tier file operation performance.”

It’s especially ideal for creative professionals and gamers, loading files fast and coming close to maxing out its PCIe 4.0 channels,

Ultimately, this runs like a premium SSD and we still think it’s worth every penny – especially at this discount price.

The 1TB and 4TB models are also discounted in the sale. But honestly, it’s cheaper to buy two 2TB SSDs than the 4TB one – and if you bought two 1TB versions, it’d cost you $110 more than the single 2TB SSD. That’s where you get the best bang for your buck.
