The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB is an interesting drive with PCIe behavior that skirts the border between Gen 4.0 and Gen 5.0. Use 4 lanes in PCIe Gen 4x4, or 2 pipelines in Gen 5x2 on a newer PCIe Gen 5.0 device. With sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250/7,250 MB/s, this is a fast drive. And it's single-sided and power-efficient, making it great for use in a laptop or desktop.


As you can read in our Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD review, the Plus variant rights many of the wrongs of the original 990 EVO. In our testing, it scored well against drives like the Crucial P310, and crucially, it's faster than the old 990 Evo. With on-paper sequential speeds of 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s for read and write, respectively, this won't be breaking any speed records for the fastest SSD around, but it's a very solid all-rounder.

The 990 EVO Plus features Samsung 236-Layer (V8) TLC flash memory, Samsung Piccolo controller, and comes with a 5-year warranty. In a world where AI expansion is threatening to render SSD and HDD sales obsolete, this Prime Big Deal Day event is a very enticing deal. If you're still looking for a great SSD, the best Prime Day SSD deals currently include the Samsung 9100 Pro and 990 Pro models, so a more performant model (that will inevitably cost a bit more) could be the solution you're looking for.

In reality, however, you'll struggle to find a better all-rounder at this price right now.
