Amazon has cut the price of Crucial's 4TB T705 SSD to $502.51, down from nearly $700 a few weeks ago and its lowest price since February. That makes it the most affordable PCIe Gen 5 drive currently available, undercutting the Samsung 990 Evo Plus by about $60 despite offering true four-lane Gen 5 performance.
Amazon is selling Samsung's new 990 PCIe 4.0 SSD in 2TB capacity for $339.99, a $190 cut from its $529.99 list price. The drive is a QLC variant of the 990 EVO Plus, built with Samsung's PiccoloQ controller and V9 QLC flash, offering full Gen 4 bandwidth. A 1TB version is also discounted, though the deal is time-limited.
