The Ultimate SSD
Reach maximum performance of PCIe® 4.0. Experience longer-lasting performance at amazing speed. The in-house controller’s smart heat control delivers outstanding power efficiency while maintaining speed and performance to always keep you at the top of your game.
* PCIe 4.0’s best theoretical sequential read is 8000 MB/s – 990 PRO reaches 7,450 MB/s as of Q3, 2022.
PCIe 4.0 speed maximized
40%” and 55%” faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO based on laboratory testing – up to 1400K/1550K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s reach near maximum performance of PCIe® 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.
* Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. Intelligent Turbo Write operates only within a specific data transfer size. Performance may vary depending on SSD’s firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center
** Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU@3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS – Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset – ASRock-X570 Taichi
*** To maximize the performance of the 990 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.
**** 4TB to be released in 2023.
Breakthrough power efficiency
More power-efficient performance. Higher performance usually consumes more power. But, 990 PRO uses less power with over 50%” improved performance per Watt over 980 PRO based on laboratory testing. This low-power design makes max PCIe® 4.0 performance possible with optimal power efficiency.
* 980 PRO Sequential Read/Write – 1,129/877 MB/Watt, 990 PRO Sequential Read/Write – 1380/1319 MB/Watt based on internal test result of 1TB capacity model.
Smart thermal solution
Speed beyond the heat. The nickel-coated controller and cutting-edge thermal control algorithm manage heat for unwavering performance. The heat spreader label controls NAND chip heat, while Dynamic Thermal Guard keeps temperatures optimal.
The champion maker
A superb gameplay experience. A more than 55%” improvement in random performance over 980 PRO bases on laboratory testing enables faster loads for ultimate gaming realism on PS5 and DirectStorage PC games.
* DirectStorage technology from Microsoft loads games faster by leveraging the multiple GB/sec speed of modern NVMe SSDs.
** Results are based on a comparison with Samsung 980 PRO based on laboratory testing.
Samsung Magician software
