While a new EVO-branded SSD appears to be on its way (at least in Europe), Samsung has decided to slash the prices of the existing 990 PRO variant, both with and without a heatsink.
The 990 PRO is available in three memory configurations: 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB. The 1TB version gets a $20 discount, the 2TB model is $35 cheaper, and you can save $50 on the 4TB variant. The same deals apply to the 990 PRO with a heatsink. Here are the discounted prices:
- 990 PRO 1TB – $119
- 990 PRO 2TB – $184
- 990 PRO 4TB – $359
- 990 PRO 1TB w/ Heatsink – $134
- 990 PRO 2TB w/ Heatsink – $204
- 990 PRO 4TB w/ Heatsink – $319
High performance solution for desktops or gaming consoles
If you're unsure which model to buy — with or without a heatsink — consider the use cases. If you intend to fit the 990 PRO SSD inside a desktop computer, the standard SSD version without a heatsink should do fine for all but the most demanding use cases.
On the other hand, if you intend to use the 990 PRO SSD as a storage expansion for your Sony PlayStation 5 console, you must get the Heatsink model.
The PS5 storage expansion slot barely has any airflow, and any SSD will likely overheat if it doesn't have a heatsink. The 990 PRO with Heatsink is one of the few recommended PS5 storage expansion solutions.
