Now is a great time to upgrade your storage with one of the latest Samsung SSDs. The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD is currently available for its lowest price. It debuted at $109, but it's currently discounted to just $79 on Amazon. It's unclear how long it will be offered at this price, but the deal has been steady throughout the holiday season.
We reviewed the Samsung 990 EVO Plus in October, and our overall experience was good. We ultimately gave it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars. It has excellent power efficiency but was a bit on the expensive side for our taste. Today's discount more than negates that con, however.
