2025 has kicked off with SSD prices that have retracted slightly from their remarkable peak last year. That being said, spacious M.2 SSDs with 4TB of capacity are still very expensive, which is why storage enthusiasts should certainly look out for corresponding deals on products such as the Samsung 990 Evo Plus.
Fortunately, Amazon is currently selling the 4TB model of Samsung's latest SSD at a discount of almost 30%, which results in one of the lowest sale prices to date according to a reputable price tracker. To be more exact, the maxed-out Samsung 990 Evo Plus is now orderable for $249 including free shipping, which is $95 less than the official list price of the power-efficient M.2. storage module, which supports both the PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 standard.
No DRAM, but almost as quick as Samsung 990 Pro
In comparison to the coveted Samsung 990 Pro, whose 4TB variant currently costs a whopping $329 on Amazon, the 990 Evo Plus is not equipped with a DRAM. Nonetheless, the more budget-friendly Samsung SSD still reaches sequential read speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s, which is just marginally slower than the much more expensive flagship SSD. In real world usage, most users are unlikely to notice a difference between these two M.2 solid-state drives.
The official spec sheet of the Samsung 990 Evo Plus is embedded below and contains all info needed to make an education buying decision. In addition to the customary five-year manufacturer warranty, the 4TB SSD has a rated endurance of 2,400 TBW and relies on the durable TLC NAND. Even though the 990 Evo Plus is not the most popular or fastest Samsung SSD, it's currently one of the most attractively priced options in the 4TB segment.
