Samsung SSD Prime Day Deals: Save On Portable And Internal Storage

Solid state drives have shot up in price over the last couple of years, but thanks to Amazon Prime Day, you can score a sizable discount on the popular Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD. Normally $640, it's currently on sale for $370, and it's one of the go-to upgrades for PC and PS5 consoles. Amazon is also offering steep discounts on portable SSDs, or if you need a quick upgrade for your handheld gaming console, you can get a 256GB microSD Express card for just $40 (was $80).

Samsung 990 Pro SSD

The Samsung 990 Pro M2 SSD has long been considered one of the best options for adding more storage capacity to your PC or PS5. The design makes installation a breeze, and with read and write speeds of up to 7450/6900 MB/s, it's more than capable of handling resource-intensive loads from demanding games and apps. One thing to note with this deal is that it does not include a heatsink, but these are cheap, and you can pick one up for as little as $10.

Samsung 9100 Pro SSD

$350 (was $680)

In case it sells out, you can also grab the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD. On sale for $350 (was $680), this 2TB PCIe 5.0 version is around twice as fast as the 990 Pro above. It can hit up to 14,700/13,400 MB/s sequential read/write speeds, and it's great for particularly heavy workloads. It is overqualified for use in a PS5, but if you're looking to work with 8K video files or intense AI workloads, it's worth considering.
