The Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink is a high-performance 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD now priced at $149.99 on the official Samsung site. This is a $60 discount from its original price, which is normally $209.99.
The drive uses Samsung’s advanced V-NAND flash technology, which delivers read speeds of up to 7450 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6900 MB/s. This means much faster startup times, quicker application loading, and smoother overall system performance.
Beyond just speed, the 990 PRO is a big step up from its predecessor, the 980 PRO. Samsung says it has over 55% better random performance, which affects everyday tasks like opening files and switching between programs. Additionally, the drive is up to 50% more efficient in performance per watt compared to the 980 PRO, making it a more energy-friendly choice. This better efficiency not only extends battery life in laptops but also lowers power usage in desktop PCs.
The built-in heatsink is a key feature that sets the 990 PRO apart from other high-performance NVMe drives. High-performance SSDs, especially when used for intense workloads like video editing or gaming, can overheat and slow down. The 990 PRO’s heatsink helps prevent this, avoiding performance drops and maintaining fast speeds even during long periods of heavy use.
This drive works with a wide variety of devices, including PCs, Macs, laptops, and even the PlayStation 5. Its broad compatibility makes it a great upgrade option for many users looking to boost their system’s performance. The drive also includes AES 256-bit encryption, adding an extra layer of security to protect sensitive data.
At $149.99 on Samsung’s website, the Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink is a very affordable option for anyone looking to upgrade their storage. If you don’t act now, you’re likely going to have to stick to the regular $209.99 price tag.
