SAVE $185:As of April 4,Watch 365 Days Online Samsung 990 PRO 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD is on sale for $279.99 at Amazon. That’s a 40% discount, shaving $185 off its $464.99 list price.

A 4TB SSD that moves files at lightning speed and doesn’t cost half your paycheck? Yeah, I want that. Samsung 990 PRO SSD is the kind of upgrade I’d actually recommend to my friends — and not just the ones who know what NVMe means. Amazon’s current price drop brings it down to $279.99, a 40% discount that saves you $185. For a premium PCIe Gen4 drive, that’s kind of wild.

I think the biggest appeal here is that it does everything fast. Load times? Gone. File transfers? Blink and you’ll miss them. It maxes out read speeds at 7,450 MB/s and write speeds at 6,900 MB/s, which is essentially "hold my beer" territory for most other drives. It’s also 55% better at random performance than the 980 PRO, and it manages to sip power like it’s being judged in a conservation contest.

I’m not saying you need4TB of space for gaming, editing, or hoarding 4K drone footage — but if you’ve ever had to delete a game to install another, then yes, you probably do. Plus, it's compatible with laptops, desktops, and even PS5s if you're doing a bit of console customizing.

The no-heatsink version on sale is perfect for clean builds or systems that already manage heat well. If you’re worried about thermals, the version with a heatsink is also on sale for a little more.

This is one of those “treat yourself” upgrades that actually makes sense. I think it’s a deal that delivers speed, space, and sanity in equal measure. And at this price? It's a power move, plain and simple.
