Get 36% off the new Samsung 990 2TB SSD, a $190 saving.
Samsung has recently released a new budget version of its 990 M.2 SSD, which is now available at a significant discount on Amazon. The 2TB variant of the SSD is now priced at $339, down from its original price of $529. This represents a 36% saving on the product, making it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their storage capacity.
The SSD is designed to be a cost-effective alternative to more expensive models, such as the 990 Pro and 9100 Pro, currently priced at $389 and $399, respectively. While the 990 2TB SSD may not be as powerful as its more expensive counterparts, it still offers impressive performance, with sequential read/write speeds of up to 7,250/6,450 MB/s.
Samsung's QLC-based 990 EVO Plus drive features the PiccoloQ controller and V9 QLC Flash memory, resulting in a drive that delivers strong performance with low power consumption. The drive's latency and bandwidth scores are very close to those of the 990 EVO Plus, while it also offers better overall performance in 3DMark tests.
While the 2TB SSD may not be the best choice for users looking for the highest performance, it does offer a significant discount compared to other options on the market. For those on a budget, this drive could be a great way to increase storage capacity without breaking the bank.
