Attention all gamers and tech enthusiasts! The Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe solid state drive is currently on sale for an unbeatable price of $129.99. That's right, you can snag this high-performance SSD for even less than what it was going for during Black Friday. At $40 less than the Samsung 990 Pro, this deal is too good to pass up, especially since most gamers won't even notice the difference in performance between the two.

The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is the perfect choice for both your gaming PC and your PlayStation 5. It surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, delivering impressive sequential read speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,300MB/s. While it's not as fast as the 990 Pro, it's still a significant upgrade over the non-Pro version. The key difference between the 990 Evo Plus and the more expensive 990 Pro is that the Evo Plus is a DRAM-less drive. However, this doesn't impact PS5 performance at all. For gaming PCs, the 990 Evo Plus utilizes HMB (host memory buffer) technology, which compensates for the lack of DRAM by using a negligible amount of your system's RAM. Trust me, gamers won't even notice the difference.
One thing to note is that the Samsung 990 Evo Plus does not come with a preinstalled heatsink. But don't let that deter you. This drive features a new, single-sided design that's both power-efficient and generates less heat than previous SSD models. That means you probably won't need a heatsink, and it should perform flawlessly in your PS5 without any thermal throttling. Of course, if you want that extra peace of mind, you can always add a heatsink for an additional $7, but it's certainly not necessary.
