Here's a great opportunity to buy the Samsung 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD at a lower price than usual. Samsung is cutting the price for both variants, i.e., with or without a heatsink.
For a limited time, here's what you can save on the 990 PRO NCMe SSD:
- Save $35 on the 1TB 990 PRO — final price: $84.
- Save $50 on the 2TB 990 PRO — final price: $139.
- Save $45 on the 4TB 990 PRO — final price: $299.
- Save $40 on the 1TB 990 PRO with Heatsink — final price: $89.
- Save $55 on the 2TB 990 PRO with Heatsink — final price: $144.
If you plan on using the Samsung 990 PRO SSD for your desktop PC, you should be fine without the heatsink. PC cases have enough airflow that it shouldn't be a problem for the 990 PRO SSD.
However, the heatsink is needed if you plan on expanding the storage on your Sony PlayStation 5 console. And you might benefit from a longer life on the SSD with heatsink if you install it inside a laptop.
