Amazon is offering Samsung’s 4TB 990 Pro at $799.90, down from $1,099.99, a $300.09 reduction. The M.2 2280 NVMe drive uses PCIe 4.0 and Samsung’s own controller, V-NAND TLC memory, and 4GB of LPDDR4 DRAM cache. Its rated sequential speeds are 7,450MB/s for reads and 6,900MB/s for writes, with random performance listed at 1.6 million read IOPS and 1.55 million write IOPS.
TechRadar awarded the 990 Pro five stars and a Best-in-Class designation, calling it the quickest PCIe 4.0 SSD in its testing. The 4TB model includes a five-year limited warranty and a 2,400TB write endurance rating. The article also notes that a 2023 Black Friday price of $249.99 was lower than this offer.
This discount may make high-capacity, high-speed storage more accessible to video editors, game developers, researchers, and PC builders who handle large files. Faster local drives could shorten project load and transfer times, potentially improving productivity for creative and technical workflows. At the same time, a sale price remains a premium purchase, so the immediate effect may be limited to users already planning an upgrade rather than broadening access widely.
