It's time to upgrade your gaming storage, thanks to this exciting Samsung gaming SSD deal. The Samsung 990 Pro is the fastest PCIe 4.0 drive we've tested, so if you're keen to max out your speeds on a PC that doesn't support PCIe 5.0, then this is the drive for you, with a solid saving on top to boot.
We've tested a number of Samsung drives over the years, with this particular model getting a recommendation in our best gaming SSD guide. As our Samsung 990 Pro review shows, this is a fast and affordable option for gamers who can't switch to a PCIe 5.0 SSD, with the 990 Pro still delivering great performance.
Performance is the key word here, because the Samsung 990 Pro was able to reach read speeds of 7,198MB/s and write speeds of 6,754MB/s in our own CrystalDiskMark tests.
That places this drive at the top of the pack for PCIe 4.0 drives, ahead of alternatives like the WD Black SN850X, which we also tested in our WD Black SN850X review. If your gaming PC doesn't support PCIe 5.0, this SSD is as good as it gets for speed and performance. It's still decently fast for most people's needs, however, and you won't need a huge heatsink to keep it cool, either.
At just $99.99, the 1TB version of this drive currently offers decent value for money, netting you a 22% saving. 2TB and 4TB options are available, too, with a saving of up to 25% on those drives. You can grab either of these three storage options from Samsung right now, while the stock lasts, using this link here.
If you're based in the UK, use this link to purchase the Samsung 990 Pro instead, with the 1TB model now 15% cheaper.
