Amazon has cut the price of Samsung’s 1TB 990 EVO Plus NVMe SSD by around 17%, bringing high-speed PCIe 4.0/5.0 storage down to €153.99.
Amazon is discounting Samsung’s 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD to €153.99, a drop of roughly 17% from its recent average price of about €185, according to the listing highlighted by Phonandroid. For buyers running out of storage, it is a straightforward way to add capacity without replacing an existing drive.
The appeal of the 990 EVO Plus lies in its speed. Samsung says the 1TB model can reach sequential read speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,300MB/s, while the Amazon offer cited by Phonandroid puts the figure slightly lower at 7,150MB/s for reads. That places it in the fast end of the consumer NVMe market, where large game installs, media libraries and application transfers benefit most from higher sustained throughput.
The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 interface, so it can be fitted in many desktop PCs and laptops, provided the machine has a compatible M.2 NVMe slot. Samsung also supports the model with its Magician software, which is used to monitor drive health and manage firmware updates. In a review, PCWorld described the 990 EVO Plus as a hybrid PCIe 4.0/5.0 HMB SSD that performs clearly better than its predecessor in most everyday scenarios, which helps explain why this discount will interest anyone looking for a faster internal upgrade rather than just more space.
