Samsung’s 1TB 990 EVO NVMe SSD hits one of its lowest prices today at $70

Reg. $80/$70

We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops Samsung’s 1TB 990 EVO SSD down to $69.99 shipped. This is originally a $125 drive that has fetched as much as $80 in recent months. Today’s deal at Amazon, however, shaves $10 off its usual going rate, dropping it down to one of the lowest prices we have tracked for it to date. We saw this model briefly drop to the $60 mark earlier this year at B&H as a part of a limited-time deal that very few had a chance at, and it’s now within $10 of that price. Head below for more details.
