Samsung’s 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is the fastest gaming drivewe’ve ever tested- faster even than theCrucial T700, a PCIe5.0SSD. And unlike that SSD, the 990 Pro works on a wide range of PCs and even the PS5, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
In fact, today it’s down to $129.99 for a 2TB Heatsink model on Amazon as part of the firm’s Big Deal Days, which is a pretty sweet offer - albeit one restricted sadly to Prime customers.

The Samsung 990 Pro’s stats don’t tell the whole story, but they are some pretty fascinating speeds and feeds so let’s start there. The 990 Pro’s sequential maximum is 7450MB/s for reads and 6900MB/s for writes; higher figures than any other drive on the market and rubbing right against the limit of the PCIe 4.0 interface. Its random read speeds, a better indicator of game loading time performance, is even more off the charts - up to 1.4M IOPS reads and an even greater 1.55M IOPS for random writes. That blows even the fastest PCIe 3.0 SSDs out of the water, and isdoublemany RPS-recommended PCIe 4.0 SSDs. In short, for ultimate performance, the Samsung 990 Pro is as good as it gets.
So: $130 for a 2TB SSD is pretty good, especially when that SSD is thefastest SSD we’ve ever testedand it comes in its premium heatsink edition. I’d order two of these if I was in the US, but as I’m in the UK all I can do is let you know about this cracker of a deal.
