The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB SSD With Heatsink Is Now 45% Off, Amazon Rapidly Sells Through Its Stock
If you're considering upgrading your computer or gaming setup seriously, a first-class internal SSD makes a world of difference. Whether you're a gamer or simply someone who wants a faster system, storage speed and reliability matter. The Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD with heatsink offers all of that and: acceleration speed, improved thermal control, dependable reliability and it is a compact 2280 M.2 PCI-E 4.0 device. At this moment, this powerful storage option is on sale for a crazy good price on Amazon, so it's a perfect time to improve your gaming rig. This internal 2TB SSD is currently priced at just $179, down from its original $309 price. Even the regular 2TB model without heatsink is on sale for $169 (original price $249) but for the majority of users thinking about using, and/or pushing their systems to their maximum, the model with the integrated heatsink is the cheaper and smarter way to go. See 2TB internal SSD with Heatsink at Amazon See 2TB internal SSD without Heatsink at Amazon Why Should You Buy This Internal SSD? So what makes the Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink so special? First and foremost, it's all about speed: This solid-state drive utilizes PCIe Gen4 technology with sequential read speed of up to 7450 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6900MB/s, which makes it among the fastest drives available today. Whether you're loading extremely large game files, working with high-resolution video or massive data sets, the difference is immediate. The 990 Pro shows more than a 55% improvement in random performance compared to its predecessor (980 Pro). The ultra-slim heatsink alone is a great product differentiator for sustained performance with no throttling: The heatsink dissipates heat efficiently and keeps the drive cooled during prolonged and heavy use. When high-performance speeds and reliability is required along with cooled conditions for gaming and professional workloads, heatsinking is crucial. The ultra-slim profile of the heatsink is also compatible with nearly all possible systems including the PlayStation 5 and any desktop or laptop meeting PCI-SIG D8 specifications which the 990 Pro falls within. With the 990 Pro with heatsink, you will experience near-max PCIe 4.0 performance without the worry of heat or performance loss. The Samsung 990 Pro is also great for capacity perspective as well since it is available from 1TB, to 4TB, accommodating whatever space you need for games, media, and projects. While all models are reasonably priced, 2TB makes the most sense from a price point and space perspective for most gamers and professionals alike. With 2TB, you can load all of your games, complete large video projects, and store important files without constantly rerouting and stressing. If you're building a new computer, upgrading your PlayStation 5, or just want better performance for a fair price, this SSD is really well worth it. See 2TB internal SSD with Heatsink at Amazon

Sandisk unveils WD Black SN8100, the world's fastest PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD
Sandisk today launched the WD Black SN8100, which it says is the world's fastest PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD. Designed for gamers, content creators and AI workloads, the latest from the popular storage maker offers speeds up to 14,900 MB/s and is available in capacities up to 8TB. Compared to Sandisk's high-performance PCIe Gen 4 SSD, the new generation storage solution offers 100 per cent more power efficiency and features advanced Sandisk BiCS8 TLC CBA NAND memory alongside some optimisations to thermal performance without having to invest in dedicated cooling solutions. Sandisk says the WD Black SN8100 2TB and 4TB models have read and write speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s and 14,000MB/s respectively, offer 2,300,000 IOPS of random performance, meaning it beats the best SSDs from the likes of Samsung, Kingston and Crucial if we go by the first party tests. However, the 1TB version may be a bit slower than their more expensive counterparts. Another thing to note is that the random write speeds aren't as fast as Samsung's 9100 Pro, which features the company's proprietary Presto controller. The company is also offering an optional WD Black SN8100 NVMe with PCIe Gen 5.0 SSD with an integrated heatsink, which has a low-profile passive cooling designed with anodized aluminium and a customisable RGB LED that caters to gamers. In case you are wondering, PCIe Gen 5.0 offers double the performance compared to its predecessor. The Sandisk WD Black SN8100 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD starts from Rs 17,499 and is available in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB options. You can buy them from all leading IT resellers and e-commerce platforms like Amazon. However, the heatsink version of the WD Black SN8100 may be available this fall and will cost Rs 1,000 more compared to their non-heatsink variants. The 8TB WD Black SN8100 is expected to go on sale sometime later this year, but Sandisk hasn't clarified when.
