AH Real Deal: Save $150 on Samsung's 4TB 990 Pro SSD
by Justin Diaz · Android HeadlinesSamsung is offering a ton of discounts on all kinds of stuff this week and right now you can save $150 on its 4TB 990 Pro SSD. That’s a big discount on what is easily one of the best SSDs available on the market today.
Worth noting is that this is the model that comes with the heatsink, and that means it’s ready to go right out of the box with the PS5 and you don’t need to buy a heatsink and attach it. All you have to do is slot it into the console and the PS5 will walk you through the next few steps so you can start installing games on it.
Normally the 4TB Samsung 990 Pro with the heatsink would cost you $479.99 at its full retail price. However, Samsung’s Black Friday savings brings that price down to $329.99. This is a pretty good discount for a 4TB SSD. Now you don’t have to use this in a PS5. It is compatible with PC as well. And as long as your motherboard has enough room, you can even keep the heatsink on.
The thing is, though, this is a perfect SSD for PS5. Think about all the space you would have for games, you’d never run out! Assuming you don’t buy all of them as physical copies. Now if you do use this SSD in a PC there are some benefits to that. Mainly you can monitor the drive’s performance and other stats with the Samsung Magician software.
Regardless of what system you use this drive in, the 990 Pro is super fast with sequential read/write speeds at 7450/6900 MB/s respectively. That’s pretty quick and will boost the speeds for your game installs and game load times. All-in-all this is an excellent SSD for gaming or otherwise, and at this price, you don’t want to pass it up.
