Amazon has dropped the price of the 4TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD to $599.99, marking a 43% discount. The high capacity drive pairs sequential read speeds of up to 7250 MB/s with a unique interface that supports both PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 motherboards. But buyers should act quickly as stock at this pricing level is usually limited.
The drive offers great system flexibility by using a 2 lane PCIe setup. It can run on 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0 or 2 lanes of PCIe 5.0, giving users top tier performance without monopolizing system lanes. For physical configuration, the drive comes in a 1 sided M.2 2280 format, making it thin enough to fit inside laptops and desktop motherboards. It delivers 7250 MB/s read speeds and 6300 MB/s write speeds.
Samsung built this storage device using its 8th Gen 236 Layer V NAND technology managed by a 5 nanometer controller. Instead of dedicated onboard DRAM, the drive uses Host Memory Buffer technology to access system memory for caching. This design decision cuts power draw and heat while keeping performance steady. Sustained writes are handled through Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0, which allocates a large variable cache of up to 432GB for handling massive file transfers.
Management is handled through the official Samsung Magician software suite, which provides diagnostics, cloning tools, and hardware based 256 bit encryption. The drive carries a 5 year warranty and is rated for 2400 terabytes written. At $599.99, this deal slashes $450 off the regular $1049.99 list price, offering excellent value for creators, gamers, and system builders looking for vast storage space.
