If you want to upgrade your PS5 storage but won't settle for anything but the best, then the Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink Presidents' Day sales offer should be on your radar.

This seriously high-end PS5 compatible SSD is an absolute storage powerhouse, delivering top performance when it comes to speed and thermals. It's the PS5 SSD that I, someone who reviews PS5 SSDs for a living, rely on every day.

The only major drawback is that it's generally quite pricey, so is best to buy on sale. Luckily, the 1TB Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink is currently discounted to just $109.99 (was $174.99) at Amazon - the lowest price so far this year.

The 2TB Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink is on offer too, taking its price down to just $172.80 (was $264.99) at Amazon. Both of these SSDs have been cheaper in the past around major sales events, but these are still some of the strongest discounts I've seen so far in 2025.

It earned a rare five-star score in our Samsung 990 Pro review, where we said that it was "an absolutely stellar" SSD "for both professional users and gamers alike." At the time, it was the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD that we had tested, and it still holds up today thanks to its 6,900MB/s read speed and 7,450 MB/s write.

We said that it offered "the fastest read/writer performance of any PCIe 4.0 SSD we've tested". Although there is now much more competition in 2024, its super-fast speeds of 6,900 MB/s read and 7,450 MB/s write are nothing to sniff at.
