I'm trying to decide between the 2TB 990 Evo Plus and the 2TB 990 Evo Pro for game storage. I've heard that the Pro is better, but where I live, the Pro is currently 50% more expensive than the Plus model. Is it really worth spending that extra amount for the Pro, or will the Plus meet my gaming storage needs just fine?

No, it's not worth it. The Plus gives you great storage space without breaking the bank, so go for it!

If the Pro is $300 compared to the Plus at $200, then Iโ€™d say the Plus is the better choice unless you're doing some advanced tasks that require super fast reads and writes.

Honestly, the difference in performance will be negligible for gaming. You'd need a stopwatch to truly measure any speed differences, so unless you plan on using it for something that requires intense data transfer, stick with the Plus.

For gaming, you probably won't notice any real benefits from the Pro model. Most games donโ€™t require that extra speed, so the Plus should be more than sufficient for your needs.
