Samsung’s 2024 2TB 990 EVO Gen 5×2 NVMe Internal SSD hits second-best price at $135

Reg. $210/$135

Amazon is now offering the 2024 Samsung 2TB 990 EVO PCIe Gen 5×2 M.2 2280 NVMe Internal Solid-State Drive at $134.87 shipped. This model launched at the top of the year with a $210 MSRP and is now $75 below that. Outside of a very short-lived offer at $130, this is the lowest price we have tracked at $5 under our previous mention. You’ll also find the regularly $125 1TB model down at $95.99 shipped right now, but we have seen this one go as low as $75 previously. You’ll find a full breakdown of the specs on the 990 EVO down below and in our launch coverage. 

The latest Samsung 2TB 990 EVO delivers a mid-tier Gen5 solution that provides some of the latest specs at a significantly more affordable price tag than the ultra-speedy models we have featured from Crucial and the like lately. The new 990 EVO 5.0 NVMe from Samsung features PCIe 4.0 x4/5.0 x2 NVMe architecture set within your standard 2280 M.2 form-factor with speeds up to 5,000MB/s. For comparison’s sake, the up to 12,400MB/s Gen5 solutions from Crucial start at just over $240 on sale right now. 

However, if you are looking to take it up a notch or two to some of the fastest Gen5 solutions out there, you’ll find some price drops on those right here. CORSAIR’s new 2TB 12,400MB/s Air Cooler SSD is still at the $270 Amazon all-time low and is joined by a host of other models from the brand in the over 11,000MB/s speed range as well.
