Best SSD deals: Samsung 990 Pro discounts

A solid SSD can increase the performance of your PC and can make a big difference if you have a gaming PC or gaming laptop when it comes to gaming. Not only are they exceedingly faster than a traditional HDD, but they are also a lot smaller, meaning you can easily fit larger SSDs into small desktops and laptops, which is great. That’s why we’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite SSD deals below across various prices and sizes, so you don’t have to grab the best SSDs to get some solid performance.

Also, if you’re in the middle of buying a new computer or upgrading an older one, you should also check out these RAM deals and GPU deals as well. If you need something that can swap between multiple devices, you can also check out these external hard drive deals.

If you’re looking for something that’s top-of-the-line and won’t break the bank, then the Samsung 990 PRO is probably the way to go. It has the newer PCIe 4.0 standard, which makes it a great PS5 SSD if you can get it a heatsink, and it has a read speed of 7450 Mbps and a write speed of 6900 Mbps, so it’s lightning fast. The 2TB model here has been discounted down to just $170 from the original $250, so you’re saving a pretty solid $80 in the process. There is a 1TB version that’s cheaper if you don’t think you need that much, as well as a 4TB model that’s great for those who have a tendency to hoard data.

Of course, if the Samsung 990 PRO isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there are some other great options you can take advantage of, such as the 980 Pro, which is just one step down and still a pretty good way to go. Of course, there are more budget-friendly options as well if you want to upgrade from an HDD and don’t need the fastest speeds possible. Obviously, the smaller capacity you have, the less it’s going to cost, so if you know you don’t need a lot of storage space, it’s worth going for a smaller size.
