If your gaming PC is starting to feel a little sluggish and unable to hold enough games, Amazon has the upgrade your machine has been begging for — and it's at its lowest price yet ahead of Prime Day.

As of July 7, the 4TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD is available for just $234.99 — that’s 28% off its usual $327.99. This deal is exclusive to Amazon Prime members and marks the lowest price we’ve seen on this powerhouse drive. Both the 1TB SSD and 2TB SSD models are on sale, for $79.99 and $139.99 respectively, but grabbing this bargain on the 4TB version will grant you the best value for money.

Samsung’s 990 EVO Plus doesn’t look like your average SSD. Designed with a PCIe Gen 4x4 interface (and Gen 5x2 compatibility), it offers read/write speeds up to a jaw-dropping 7,250/6,300MB/s. This means that massive files — aka, games and large video files — can transfer in seconds, and apps launch before you can blink. Whether you're rendering video, running simulations, or just loading up Baldur’s Gate 3 a little faster, this drive delivers as a must for gamers and content creators alike.

With a generous 4TB of storage, you’ll have plenty of room for all your creative projects, games, or mission-critical documents. The updated Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 tech ensures that even large transfers stay fast and smooth — no slowdown in sight.

Because of the ever-growing file sizes of games, a large SSD like this is more important than ever. With 4TB, you could pack in multiple huge games like Destiny 2, Metaphor: ReFantazio, The Last of Us Part 1 & 2, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and still have plenty more space to download extra titles — like those available on Xbox Game Pass for PC.

This SSDs' thermals make sure performance isn’t compromised either. The nickel-coated controller keeps things cool and efficient while using less power than older models. It's optimised to perform on the latest systems without turning your PC into a space heater. And with Samsung’s Magician Software, managing your SSD seems almost too easy. From firmware updates to encryption and performance monitoring, your drive should be running like new.

If you're building a rig, upgrading your laptop, or just want your PC to keep up with you, this is the moment to dive in. And for those after a shiny new monitor too, Samsung’s 34-inch ViewFinity monitor is down to its lowest-ever price ahead of Prime Day.
