Deal | Samsung 990 Pro 4TB SSD gets massive 42% discount and drops to best Amazon price of the year

SSD prices have been going up over the last twelve months, but this year's Black Friday might be the long-awaited turning point for patient PC or laptop owners who have been holding out in hope for more reasonable prices. Thankfully, Amazon has now ramped up its SSD discounts for Black Friday and is selling the Samsung 990 Pro for an intriguing price.

More specifically, Amazon has put the 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD on sale for $269 including free shipping, which constitutes a massive 42% discount relative to the official MSRP. More importantly, Camel's price history shows that this solid-state drive deal offers the lowest price for the Samsung 990 Pro since late November 2023, which is when the 4TB SSD dropped to its all-time low of $249 on Amazon.

Since the benefits of PCIe 5.0 SSDs are more or less negligible for most users, the Samsung 990 Pro is still a very attractive option for enthusiasts who are looking for a superfast 4TB SSD. Case in point, the NVMe drive can hit sequential read speeds of up to 7,450 Megabytes per second, which we confirmed in our concise hands-on review of the Samsung 990 Pro.

Aside from the high transfer rates, our testers also found that the Samsung SSD stays relatively cool under load, although desktop PC or PlayStation 5 owners should still consider buying a compatible heatsink, such as the be quiet! MC1 Pro M.2 SSD cooler.

All in all, the Samsung 990 Pro is still one of the very best SSDs that we have tested, which is why storage-hungry bargain hunters might finally want to tackle their 4TB storage upgrade. Shoppers who are satisfied with less storage capacity can also check out Amazon's offer for the 1TB variant of the Samsung 990 Pro, which has been discounted by 38%.
