The Samsung 990 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD is currently on sale for $339.99 at Amazon. This price reflects a $190 discount from its original price of $529.99, making high-capacity storage more affordable during a period of high SSD prices.
Launched earlier this year, the Samsung 990 series SSD is a QLC-based drive, similar to the 990 EVO Plus. It incorporates Samsung’s PiccoloQ controller with V9 QLC Flash memory and supports full PCIe Gen 4 throughput. QLC drives are generally suitable for gaming due to their read-heavy usage patterns.
Testing indicates the Samsung 990 offers similar latency to the 990 Evo Plus and 990 Evo, while surpassing the 990 Evo in bandwidth and 3DMark scores. It also competes with other QLC-based drives like the Crucial P310. The drive is also a viable option for consoles, providing competitive bandwidth compared to other budget PCIe 4.0 drives.
This discounted price is available for a limited time. A 1TB model is also on sale. Consumers seeking fast, high-capacity PCIe 4.0 storage may consider this offer before the discount expires.
