It is a rare occasion to see a super-fast SSD with a heatsink become slightly more affordable than the same version that ships without a passive cooling solution, but during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, there are a lot more of these surprises that you will encounter. For those wanting to give their PC, laptop or PS5 a substantial performance boost, the 4TB version of the Samsung 990 PRO SSD has been discounted by 42 percent on the online retailer, bringing its price down to just $279.99.

What is interesting about this deal is that the version that ships without a heatsink is currently listed for $289.99, making it $10 more expensive. If there is ever a time when a Samsung-branded solid-state drive gets a major discount on Amazon, we highly recommend that you take advantage of it immediately because such events are rare, especially for the 4TB version of the 990 PRO. It is currently the company's fastest SSD ever made, with sequential read speeds that can reach 7,450MB/s and sequential write speeds that can touch 6,900MB/s.

Samsung claims that the 990 PRO delivers more than a 55 percent improvement in random performance compared to the 980 PRO. Also, the addition of a heatsink does not prevent you from installing the SSD in a 'thin and light' machine like a gaming laptop, as removing the cooling solution is a seamless process. For those who want to experience the best possible performance, we recommend installing the 990 PRO in a PCIe NVMe Gen 4 M.2 slot.

Given Samsung's reliability when it comes to producing memory and storage products, you will have unparalleled peace of mind, and its custom data migration software helps to effortlessly transfer every file from the previous SSD or HDD to the new one without giving you an error in between. With everything that you are getting in return, a 42 percent discount during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days will be a dream come true for many.
