Samsung 990 Pro gets discount of over $200 from recent highs — grab the 2TB model for $429.99
The storage market is finally healing.
SSD prices have been on the higher side for a while now, thanks to the ongoing AI boom and global NAND flash memory shortages. However, the past couple of months have witnessed some stability, leading to a noticeable reduction in pricing. Take, for instance, the Samsung 990 Pro, one of the best SSDs on the market, which is currently selling for a lower-than-usual price of $429.99 for the 2TB variant on Amazon. If we look at the price history, the SSD went up to $639.99 about a month ago, meaning you can currently save $210.
Notably, the 1TB variant of the 990 Pro is also available at a reduced price of $249.99, which was retailing for $339.99 during the same period. And if you crave blistering fast transfer speeds, pricing for Samsung’s latest 9100 Pro PCIe Gen 5 SSD has also witnessed a shakeup, with the 2TB model available for $449.99 and $249.99 for 1TB.
The Samsung 990 Pro is an industry-leading consumer SSD that promises sequential read and write speeds of 7,450 and 6,900 MBps with random read and write IOPS of 1.4 and 1.55 million.
The Samsung 990 Pro is a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD offering maximum sequential read speeds of 7,450 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 6,900 MB/s with random reads/writes at 1.6 million and 1.55 million IOPS, respectively. It uses a 176-layer V-NAND TLC flash chip and comes with a rated endurance of 1200 TBW (2TB model). In our testing, the Samsung 990 Pro proved to be one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs, offering excellent performance and solid efficiency with consistently low operating temperatures. This makes it a great option not just for gaming PCs, but also for laptops and even the PS5.












While prices for M.2 SSDs haven’t gone down to what they were last year, the current discounts still make the Samsung 990 Pro a more sensible purchase at $429.99 than it was just a few weeks ago. If you have been planning an upgrade or adding additional storage to your system, now is probably a good time to buy before SSD prices start climbing again.

Last December, I picked up a Crucial P310 4TB from Best Buy - there's no Micro Centers near here :disappointed: - for just shy of 370 USD - taxes included.
Good heavens... -
bolweval I bought this drive from Amazon back in September for $170 USD, I still haven't installed it, Ive been tempted to sell it a few times and would have if i needed the money...Reply -
Gokupp $200 off? You know things have gone WAY to far when the "DISCOUNT" is more than the product used to cost less than one year ago!Reply -
apakett The price spiked in April and has now come down. Memory companies are making a fortune on AI demand. Micron claimed to get out of the consumer market, but has backtracked a little, selling to OEMs only. Expect wild fluctuations until supply picks up or the AI bubble bursts.Reply -

I didn't need it just yet - was more focused on upgrading the ol' 1080Ti. Then the news of worsening pricing on the horizon arrived, and spooked me into getting it and a 9070XT.USAFRet said:I got that same P310 4TB in July 2025, for $212 from Amazon.
EDIT: Now that same drive retails for 545USD, 58 - 157% more than when we bought it... -
