while. And in the UK, the price of the 990 Pro 2TB slips to 292 (was 503) at Amazon .

The Samsung 990 Pro is one of the best SSDs around, especially at an unbeatable price like this. In our review, we hailed it as "an absolutely stellar M.2 SSD for both professional users and gamers."

In the UK: now 292 (was 503) View Deal The 990 Pro delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,450MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,900MB/s, pushing PCIe 4.0 close to its limits.

Samsung says the SSD offers more than 55% better random performance than the previous-generation 980 Pro, helping applications load faster and demanding workloads complete more quickly.

Another advantage is improved power efficiency. The drive delivers up to 50% better performance per watt than the 980 Pro, allowing it to maintain exceptional performance while using less power, which is especially useful during intensive creative workloads.

During our testing, the drive handled large file transfers with ease and consistently delivered outstanding responsiveness.

We summed it up by saying, "This is easily one of the fastest SSDs we've ever tested, so you can expect top-tier file operation performance."

Although the 1TB and 4TB versions are also on sale, with the 1TB model
reduced from $319.99 to $239.99 and the 4TB version falling from $1,099.99 to $865.73, I'd still recommend the 2TB drive as it offers the best balance between capacity and overall value.

There's plenty of room for creative projects, applications, and large media libraries without constantly worrying about running out of space. Shop all internal SSDs at Amazon
