We’re now tracking one of the better SSD deals we’ve seen in a while, with Samsung’s 4TB 990 EVO Plus down to $314.99 shipped. This drive originally launched at $345 but has climbed as high as $1,050 at Amazon in recent months amid the ongoing memory shortage. Today’s deal takes a massive $735 off that inflated price and drops it to the lowest price we’ve tracked since the recent hikes. It’s a particularly solid deal considering the 4TB model is currently going for less than even the 2TB version, which is fetching $580. Head below for more details.
