Amazon is now offering the 2TB Samsung 980 PRO PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 Internal Solid-State Drive with Heatsink for $124.17 shipped. Regularly $190 directly from Samsung these days where it is now on sale for $130, this is the current lowest price we can find. While there have been a few fleeting deals for less, today’s offer is among the best we have tracked on Amazon for one of the more popular options out there. It also comes in at about $25 under the ongoing all-time low on the slightly faster 990 PRO at $150 and has been fetching between the $140 and $200 at Amazon this year. This is the 980 PRO with an integrated heatsink meaning it can upgrade both your PC battlestation or a PlayStation 5. Features include a PCIe Gen 4 interface in the M.2 form-factor alongside speeds up to 7,000MB/s with the ability to “disperse heat, maintain speed, and prevent downtime caused by overheating on PlayStation 5 and PC.” Head over to our hands-on review for a detailed look and down below for more.
An obvious lower-cost solution would be to drop down to the 1TB model with the heatsink that’s selling for $80 on Amazon. But if you can do without the extra heat management system, the standard issue 980 PRO is selling for $60 shipped on Amazon right now.
But if it’s the serious speeds you’re after, the new Gen5 models from Crucial are where it’s at. Now some of the fastest options on the market, we are tracking price drops on both the 1TB and 2TB heatsink models that clock in at up to 12,400MB/s with the usual M.2 form-factor. You can get a closer look at these options while they are still on sale in our previous deal coverage right here.
