New high-performance NVMe™ SSD 990 PRO now in stores – Samsung UK Newsroom

The powerful NVMe™ SSD 990 PRO, introduced at Gamescom 2022 in August, is now available in stores. The 990 PRO delivers fast speeds and excellent power efficiency, and is designed for graphically demanding gaming and other performance-intensive applications such as 3D rendering, 4K video editing, and data analysis.

Equipped with Samsung’s latest V-NAND technology and a new, specially developed controller, the 990 PRO Series delivers the highest speed currently available over the PCIe® 4.0 interface.¹ Available. The new NVMe™ SSD delivers sequential read and write speeds of up to 7450MB/s and 6900MB/s respectively, and random read and write speeds of up to 1400K and 1550K IOPS, respectively².

If you want to exploit the features of the latest gaming consoles and technologies, you need a very powerful NVMe™ SSD. 990 PRO is the perfect companion for that. It ensures short loading times for PC and console games, enabling a smooth and immersive gaming experience.

Energy efficiency and reliable heat control for high-performance tasks

The controller of the 990 PRO, newly developed by Samsung, is based on an energy-efficient architecture and saves – compared to the 980 PRO³ – Up to 50% better energy efficiency. The 990 PRO uses a nickel-plated controller and heat spreader for reliable heat management. Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Protection technology also ensures that the drive temperature remains at a low level. This reduces performance fluctuations even with computationally intensive tasks like 3D rendering, 4K video editing, and data analysis, and enables stable and robust performance.

The new NVMe™ SSD 990 PRO is now available online Samsung online store And the well-known point of sale with a capacity of 1 TB and 2 TB:

Samsung NVMe™ SSD 990 PRO 1TB: €174.90
Samsung NVMe™ SSD 990 PRO 2TB: €324.90

¹ The highest theoretical sequential read speed for PCIe® 4.0 is 8000MB/s – the 990 PRO reaches 7450MB/s as of Q3 2022.
² Sequential and random power measurements are based on IOmeter1.1.0. Performance may vary based on firmware version, system hardware, and SSD configuration.
