PC hardware and gaming are like a perpetual arms race for the enthusiast's money. Games continue to excel at technical levels with realistic graphics, audio, and physics engines that demand more and more out of our little machines. Even without jumps in computation, storage alone can be a constant battle(opens in new tab) forcing you to decide which 100GB game you'll need to delete for your newest adventure. Or you could just buy some more storage with Samsung's current sale.
Samsung is having a sale across a range of its SSDs over on Amazon and the official Samsung store(opens in new tab). For PC gamers there's big savings on M.2 format drives, and there's plenty on offer for console gaming fans too.
You can grab a 1TB stick of Samsung's 990 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD with a 41% discount down from $170 to $100 on both Amazon(opens in new tab) and the Samsung store(opens in new tab). For Aussies, that brings the price to AU$155. The 990 Pro is a great choice for any PCIe 4.0 compatible build, basically maxing out the protocol in our review testing. One of our main concerns was the price, but with $70 off it's a much more friendly offer at the moment.
If 1TB isn't going to hold all of your games you can get the 2TB 990 Pro for 38% off. This one is down to $180 from $240(opens in new tab). That's an extra $80 for another whole TB of storage, which looks like an even better deal when compared to Samsung's deal on the 980 Pro.
The 980 Pro is also on offer, but with the 990s on offer for only $10 a pop more they're a harder sell. Still if you've been eyeing one, the 1TB are available for $90(opens in new tab) on the Samsung site while the 2TB drives are down to $158 in the current Amazon sale.
