We’ve got more early Prime Day deals for you, this one for PC builders looking for new parts for their rig. Storage is a hot commodity. File sizes continue to get bigger and bigger so we need to keep up with larger solid state drives.
Samsung is letting you increase your computer’s storage capacity for under $100 per terabyte. Yep you heard that right. The 1TB Samsung 990 EVO SSD is normally priced at $150, but right now it’s nearly half off — 47% discount is knocking its price down to just $80. Additionally, the 2TB version is down 42% to just $140.
For PC Gamers and Power Users
This computer-ready SSD has read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s and write speeds of up to 4,200 MB/s which is designed for high-end computing, gaming, and heavy duty workstations. If you’re someone who is doing a ton of photo and video editing or would just like to be able to install Black Myth: Wukong, this SSD has you covered.
The Samsung 990 EVO SSD works to give you high performance, while being power efficient. When compared to the 970 EVO Plus, we’re looking at a 70% improved performance per watt consumed. This is thanks in part to its support for PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2. That gets you more bandwidth and higher data processing for smooth storage with less power consumed.
Important to note that this SSD does not come with a built-in heatsink. That is a little piece of metal that can dissipate the heat from the device, which crucially means it is not compatible with your PlayStation 5 as a means to expand its abysmal starting storage capacity. It is however still a terrific option for PC gamers, and while it doesn’t have a heatsink, it does utilize smart thermal control. You’ll be able to ramp things up without overheating the system thanks to Samsung’s finely-tuned controller. That translates to avoiding sudden performance drops.
The Samsung 990 EVO SSD is designed to always work like new thanks to software and firmware updates via its Magician Software. Receive extra encryption and continually monitor the health of your solid state drive.
If you’ve been on the hunt for a solid state drive that is, well, solid, then your hunt is finally over. The Samsung 990 EVO 1TB SSD is usually priced at the already pretty affordable level of $150, but right now you’ll save nearly 50% off as we head into Prime Day, snagging it for just $80. The 2TB option is also now down to $140.
