There aren't many internal SSDs that get top marks in our testing, but the Samsung 990 Pro is one of them. We praised this high-performance solid-state drive in our review, where it proved to save large files quickly.

In fact, we said at the time: "This is easily one of the fastest SSDs we've ever tested, so you can expect top-tier file operation performance."

It's especially ideal for creative professionals and gamers, loading files fast and coming close to maxing out its PCIe 4.0 channels,

Ultimately, this runs like a premium SSD and we still think it's worth every penny - especially at this discount price.

The 1TB and 4TB models are also discounted in the sale. But honestly, it's cheaper to buy two 2TB SSDs than the 4TB one - and if you bought two 1TB versions, it'd cost you $110 more than the single 2TB SSD. That's where you get the best bang for your buck.
