From the manufacturer
Explosive pace for intense gaming 
Discover the powerful performance with PCIe 4.0 and experience blistering speeds to beat the competition. The thermal regulation of the Samsung controller offers high energy efficiency with consistently high speeds and performance.¹
PCIe at blazing speeds
Featuring 40% and 55% faster random read and write speeds compared to the 980 PRO, up to 1400K / 1550K IOPS and sequential read/write speeds up to 7450 / 6900MB/s.² ³ ⁴
Groundbreaking energy efficiency
Higher performance often consumes more power. Not with the 990 PRO. Experience low power consumption with over 50% improved performance per watt over the previous model.⁵
The performance maker 
Because a performance improvement of more than 55% over the previous model, this enables faster loading processes for a more authentic gaming experience for the PlayStation 5 and PC games with Direct Storage function.⁶ ⁷
Smart temperature regulation
The nickel-plated controller and state-of-the-art thermal control algorithm regulate heat and allowing for unrestricted performance. The heat-spreader label controls the heat of the NAND chip, while the Dynamic Thermal Guard technology regulates temperatures.
Samsung Magician software
The user-friendly software solution helps you to always keep an eye on your SSD. With it, you can keep your drive up-to-date with updates, monitor status parameters and speed, and even optimise performance.
¹ The theoretical best possible sequential read speed of PCIe 4.0 is 8,000 MB/s – the 990 PRO achieves 7,450 MB/s.
² Sequential and random write performance measured with TurboWrite intelligent technology enabled. Intelligent TurboWrite only works within a certain data transfer size. Performance may vary based on SSD firmware, system hardware and configuration, and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center.
³ Test System Configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU @ 3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GB x 2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS – Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset – ASRock-X570 Taich.
⁴ To maximize the performance of 990 PRO, please check Intel or AMD website if your system supports PCIe 4.0.
⁵ 980 PRO Sequential Read Speed – 1129/877 MB/Watt, 990 PRO Sequential Read Speed – 1380/1319 MB/Watt based on internal testing results of 1TB capacity model.
⁶ Supported by Microsoft’s Direct Storage feature.
⁷ Results based on a comparison with the Samsung 980 PRO.
Stunning speed: read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s (2TB variant).
High reliability thanks to heat spreader and dynamic thermal guard technology for protection against overheating as well as up to 1200 TB total bytes writing
Storage capacity of up to 2 TB in compact M.2 form factor (2280), suitable for high-performance PCs and ultrabooks.
The free Samsung Magician software optimises performance for you and keeps the drive up to date with updates.
