Deal | Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD now on sale for 45% off after yet another price cut

For PC and laptop owners who are frequently working with large files, such as 4K or even 8K video with high bitrates, a high-end PCIe 4.0 SSD with 2TB of storage capacity is arguably the absolute minimum when it comes to a primary drive. Furthermore, enthusiasts who would also like to take advantage of one of the fastest consumer-focused NVMe drives on the market can now benefit from an attractive deal for the Samsung 990 Pro.

After another round of noteworthy discounts, the South Korean company's lightning-fast 2TB SSD can now be ordered for US$159 at several US online retailers including Amazon and Best Buy. This latest deal for the Samsung 990 Pro offers a huge discount of US$130 or 45 percent relative to the official list price and thereby sets a new all-time low price for this spacious SKU. Up until March, this SSD was quite stable in terms of price according to Camelcamelcamel's price history, which perfectly illustrates the brutal depreciation that the storage market has experienced.

Despite these steep discounts, demanding users will enjoy this top-notch PCIe 4.0 SSD with sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,450 and 6,900 megabytes per second, respectively. Please check out our hands-on review for more details on the Samsung 990 Pro, which performed well during our testing even under sustained load and without a separately bought heatsink. However, prospective buyers should definitely update the firmware of this 2TB SSD upon receipt in order to avoid a potential wear issue that came to light earlier this year.
