Samsung's beastly chart-topping 990 Pro 4TB SSD is down to just 7 cents per GB — now a mere $299 as storage shortages loom

We often highlight deals that offer a great value proposition, usually because their quality, weighed against their discounted price, justifies a purchase.

As such, the 4 TB variant is on sale for just $299.99 on B&H right now, marked down a whopping $120 from its list price of $420, making this a no-brainer.

It's backed up by a five-year warranty for peace of mind, and Samsung SSDs already rank among the most reliable in the industry.
