Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Hits $385 Amid NAND Shortage
Samsung’s 2TB 990 PRO Gen4 SSD is discounted 40% to $385 on Amazon, down from $640. This move counters rising prices caused by a global NAND flash shortage. The drive offers 55% better random performance than the 980 PRO, 2TB capacity, and thermal controls for stable high-end use. Competitor SanDisk’s 2TB Optimus GX PRO 850X is also discounted to $476.99 at Best Buy for 24 hours, featuring 7,300MB/s speeds and DirectStorage support. Samsung’s 990 EVO Plus 2TB is also at a five-month low. These deals provide temporary relief as SSD costs climb due to supply constraints.
