If you're looking for a super-fast Windows boot drive or games drive with ample storage, the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB is easy to recommend at its current sale price at Amazon of just $133. It's no longer the fastest drive around, but if you don't have a motherboard or system that supports PCIe 5.0, then this is still one of the fastest SSDs you can get your hands on.

While this long-lived drive has been cheaper, you'd have to go back to late 2023 to find the 2TB 990 Pro selling for less than it is right now. And with AI datacenters looking to gobble up seemingly all the quality flash and memory on the planet, it's not likely to drop lower any time soon.

We reviewed the Samsung 990 Pro SSD and highlighted it as one of the best SSDs available. It’s efficient, runs cool, and has top-notch performance to back up our high praise.
