Why the 990 Evo Plus matters: it’s a PCIe Gen5-capable M.2 drive that’s backward compatible with PCIe Gen4 systems. That means you don’t need a bleeding-edge motherboard to get a meaningful upgrade; it will work in many existing desktops and, with a simple heatsink, in a PlayStation 5.
Performance numbers are strong: up to 7,250MB/s sequential read and up to 6,300MB/s sequential write. That easily clears Sony’s PS5 minimum read requirement of 5,500MB/s and offers a big upgrade over PCIe Gen3 drives. For many users, swapping from a Gen3 SSD will noticeably cut game and app load times — it can feel like using a new machine.
A quick comparison: Samsung’s flagship 990 Pro (PCIe Gen4) still sits above the Evo Plus in peak performance and currently sells for higher prices (for example, the 2TB 990 Pro is around $169.99). The Evo Plus, however, hits a sweet spot for capacity and cost when on sale.
Practical notes before buying: if you plan to use this in a PS5, add an inexpensive heatsink and double-check the drive height allowance. On PCs, confirm an available M.2 slot and that your system firmware supports the drive. Prices are time-limited, so act fast if this fits your upgrade plan.
Beyond the SSD: the other deals listed — like Elden Ring Nightreign’s discounted deluxe edition and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max promo — are good finds if you’re shopping for gaming or home streaming upgrades alongside storage.
For organizations and power users thinking at scale, this sale is a reminder to treat storage upgrades as a measurable productivity lever. Whether refreshing workstations, expanding console fleets, or planning edge-device capacity, prioritize drives that balance price, performance, and cooling needs.
If you’re ready to pull the trigger: check B&H for the updated checkout price, confirm compatibility, and factor in any accessory costs like heatsinks. This is a limited-time window to add high-capacity, high-speed SSDs at near-entry prices.
