This 2TB Samsung SSD deal is genuinely good compared to the rest

Nearly £50 off a 2TB drive that reads at 7,250 MB/s isn’t a discount you stumble across every day.

This 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus, already considered one of the best SSDs you can buy right now, has dropped from £297.89 to £249.99, a saving of £47.90 that brings serious NVMe speed down to a genuinely reasonable price.

Drives with these read and write speeds usually sit much closer to the £300 mark, so seeing a 2TB Gen 5 capable SSD priced under £250 makes this one of the stronger storage deals around at the moment for anyone building or upgrading a PC.

That speed isn’t just a number on a spec sheet either, since read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,300 MB/s mean games load faster, large files copy almost instantly and heavier work stops feeling like it’s waiting on the drive.

Part of what makes this drive worth considering is its dual interface support, running on PCIe Gen 4.0 in most current systems while staying ready for PCIe Gen 5.0 boards, so it doesn’t become outdated the moment you next upgrade your motherboard.

Samsung’s in-house controller also brings smart heat control into the mix, keeping performance consistent under sustained loads instead of the throttling that can quietly slow down cheaper drives once they’ve been working hard for a while.

Setup is straightforward too, since the drive works with both Windows and Mac systems and pairs with Samsung’s own Magician software for monitoring health, running firmware updates and keeping performance optimised without needing any real technical know-how.

Everyday reliability gets covered too, with AES 256-bit encryption to keep your files protected and a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee that should outlast several upgrade cycles, which matters if this drive is going to be holding onto photos, projects or a growing game library.

With speeds like these and almost £50 shaved off the price, is there a genuinely smarter way to future-proof your PC right now than grabbing the Samsung 990 EVO Plus while it’s still this cheap?
