The SSD market can't seem to catch a break as prices for most consumer-focused storage solutions remain in free fall. The 1TB version of the Samsung 980 Pro is the perfect example for the rapid depreciation of PCIe 4.0 SSDs, as the South Korean's former flagship M.2 module has now hit its lowest price ever on Amazon.
In this case, the e-commerce leader from Seattle is offering the 1TB variant of the Samsung 980 Pro for US$75 including free shipping, which is another US$25 or 25 percent discount in comparison to a quite popular SSD deal from February. Camelcamelcamel's price tracker perfectly illustrates the numerous consecutive price cuts that the Samsung 980 Pro has received over the past few months, which is a trend that may continue and lead to even lower prices in the near future.
Either way, the Samsung 980 Pro is still a wickedly quick PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,100 MB/s, respectively. Furthermore, the drive has an official endurance rating of 600 TBW, but prospective owners should certainly update the firmware of their brand-new solid-state drive as certain outdated versions can supposedly cause premature failure in rare cases. Fortunately, this storage module is also covered by the usual five-year limited manufacturer warranty, and for US$75, it is arguably one of the very best SSD deals that is currently available.
