If your PS5 or PC storage is full, this is the Amazon October Prime Day deal for you. Even though this is the last day of the sales, you can still get $125 off the Samsung 990 PRO 4TB SSD w/ Heatsink at Amazon. That's the cheapest price ever.

This model is designed to fit in your PS5 and has a heatsink to dissipate heat. However, you can also use this NVMe SSD in your PC. I've been building gaming PCs for over 20 years, and have used Samsung SSDs as my primary storage drives for the last 10. They're my go-to for their reliability and speed.

As I mentioned above, the 990 PRO w/ Heatsink features... you guessed it, a heatsink! This is essentially a heat exchanger attached to the SSD that dissipates heat and cools down the drive. This makes it perfect for fitting into tight spaces, like a PS5 case, small PC cases or laptops.

This SSD is PCI-e 4.0 compatible, with maximum read/write speeds of 7450/6900 MB/s, for fast data transfer and no performance bottlenecking. This is the 4TB model, enough for storing plenty of games — even super large ones — as well as media and other files.

$259 is the lowest price we've ever seen for this SSD, even lower than Black Friday. However, that's still a fair bit of cash. If you can't stretch to the 4TB model, the 2TB model is also on sale for $139 at Amazon.

The 2TB model is near its lowest ever price. We've seen it drop to $136 before, so while it isn't quite there, it's only $3 off. Now is as good a time as ever to take the plunge!
