Note to PlayStation 5 players
The original PlayStation 5 only had 825 GB of internal storage. With the increasing size of AAA games on the market, you’ll be lucky if you can download more than three games to your system at once.
Luckily, you can expand your PS5’s storage by installing a compatible M.2 solid state drive. And guess what? The Samsung 990 is exactly that. However, to ensure compatibility with PS5, you’ll need a heatsink option to prevent overheating. Of course, the heatsink also has futuristic RGB LED lights. You can currently get the 1TB version of the 990 Pro with heatsink for $120 ($55 off). The 2TB version costs $172 ($94 off) and the 4TB version costs $310 ($170 off).
If you or a loved one you’re buying one for plays games on a PC, the non-heatsink version should be perfectly suitable. The Samsung 990 Pro is available starting at $107 ($53 off) for the 1TB version, $160 ($90 off) for the 2TB version, or $300 ($165 off) for the 4TB version.
