Not to sound like a broken record, but, man, games are taking up way toomuch spacethese days. So, having an efficient and speedy storage solution is more important than ever. Amazon has got a killer deal on aSamsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD for $150going on now that will make for the perfect upgrade for your gaming PC. And with Elden Ring right around the corner, why not make sure you load into the realm of the Lands Between as fast as possible to die even faster.
Inour reviewof the 500GB model of the 980 Pro SSD last year, we were impressed by its performance though weren’t too crazy about its price point, so saving $80 sounds like a win to me. The 980 Pro was the first of Samsung’s SSDs to use the new Elpis controller which can process 128 I/O queues at the same time. For anyone who doesn’t speak SSD, it means faster read and write speeds while using less power.
Amazon is also offering500GB($100) and2TB versions($275) of the speedy Samsung 980 Pro SSDs as well for the lowest prices we’ve seen in a couple of weeks. Though the 1TB for $150 seems the best deal out of the bunch.
