The Samsung 980 Pro 500GB SSD is insanely fast and on sale for $93 today

One of Newegg’s Shell Shocker daily deals includes the Samsung 980 Pro 500GB M.2 solid state drive with NVMe technology on sale for a low of $93.49 when you use the code SSBPAZ24 during checkout. Without the code it’s going for $110, which is already a drop from its regular $120 price that it has been going for for most of the past year. The drop with the code is the lowest price we’ve seen from Newegg or any other retailer.

In our review, Richard Devine said, “If you’re looking to build your PC with the best possible storage then you should always consider a Samsung SSD and the new 980 Pro is absolutely no exception. It has all the trademarks of other Samsung SSDs like incredible quality, intuitive software, and a great warranty backed up by one important party piece. The Samsung 980 Pro offers truly astonishing performance.”

Thanks to the PCIe 4.0 interface and NVMe technology, you get some of the fastest speeds yet on a Samsung SSD. It has read and write speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,100 MB/s respectively. That’s crazy compared to where SSDs were at just a couple years ago. It’s also twice the data transfer rate of a PCIe 3.0 interface, although it is still compatible with that version if that’s what you got.

This is not a simple drive meant for casual people. It has Pro in the name for a reason. This should appeal to the extremely tech savvy, the hardcore gamer, and more. It has really high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy application use. There is also reliable thermal control with nickel coating to help manage the heat levels. It also has a heat spreader label for thermal control of the NAND chip.

Grab yours while you can because this price won’t last long.
