The 990 PRO and 990 PRO with Heatsink have the fastest random read rates in their class, reaching up to 1600K IOPS
Samsung 4TB SSD 990 PRO
A new 4-terabyte (TB) option in Samsung Electronics‘ SSD 990 PRO series was just released, the industry leader in sophisticated memory technology. High-performance PCIe1 4.0 SSDs in the 990 PRO series are driven by Samsung’s eighth-generation V-NAND (V8) technology and improved proprietary controller.
The 990 PRO series is the ideal SSD for today’s PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, and computing systems because it provides lightning-fast speeds and maximum power efficiency while being tailored for enormous data quantities, including 3D/4K graphics work, data analytics, and high-quality games. The 990 PRO series provides higher SSD reliability and endurance with improved total bytes written (TBW) ratings of up to 2,400TB, making it the perfect choice for users with heavy workloads and high storage capacity requirements.
The new Samsung 4TB SSD 990 PRO is the ideal storage option to suit the demands of today’s gamers and creative professionals, according to Hangu Sohn, Corporate Vice President of the Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics. “High-performance NVMe2 storage has become a core requirement as the demand for high-resolution content and ultra-fast data-processing speeds continues to grow.”
Best-in-Class Capacity and Performance
The 4TB 990 PRO delivers near-max performance in a PCIe 4.0 interface with sequential read rates of up to 7,450 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) and write speeds of up to 6,900MB/s thanks to Samsung’s V8 technology and enhanced controller. The newly increased 4TB capacity offers increased random read and write speeds of up to 1,600K and 1,550K IOPS3, making it the perfect choice for tech enthusiasts, creative professionals, and gamers who want the best performance and storage space.
The 4TB 990 PRO greatly decreases mid-game delays and speeds up the loading of high-quality movies, enhancing gamers’ enjoyment and immersion. It has the highest random read performance among consumer SSDs with a PCIe 4.0 interface on the market. The 990 PRO series can assist in reducing latency for high-end games that feature the most recent in game-loading technologies, enabling players to enjoy real-time gameplay experiences with consistently high frames per second (FPS).
Enhanced Thermal Control and Power Efficiency
The 990 PRO series outperforms the preceding 980 PRO series by up to 50% in terms of performance, achieving ground-breaking power efficiency. Additionally, it has a nickel coating on the controller and a heat spreader label on the back of the SSD, which help to maintain an ideal temperature and reduce performance changes over time. Users of the 990 PRO with Heatsink get the full benefit of prolonged high-performance computing and gaming capabilities thanks to the heatsink’s efficient, thin design. The drive is also compatible with the most recent gaming consoles, which speeds up game installation and loading times and guards against performance reductions brought on by overheating.
4TB SSD Single-Sided for Ultra-Slim Laptops
The 4TB 990 PRO was created with a single-sided M.2 form factor, making it thinner than previous double-sided M.2 SSDs. This was made possible with Samsung’s V8 1Tb high-density NAND and memory stacking technology. This alleviates consumers’ worries about installing double-sided M.2 SSDs into ultra-thin notebooks and running the danger of harming other components or not being able to install the SSD. The simplified design offers a ton of storage space and long-lasting performance with a single-sided M.2 form factor.
Software for Samsung Magician and its accessibility
By keeping firmware, drivers, and other settings current and allowing users to tailor power and performance optimization based on their preferences, the Samsung Magician software provides optimal performance in SSDs. Additionally, the 990 PRO with Heatsink offers RGB capabilities in the software, giving players the opportunity to choose color and LED effects. The next Magician 8.0 version, scheduled for release in September 2023, will be an integrated software solution for SSDs, portable SSDs, memory cards, and USB flash drives.
Early October 2023 will see the release of the 990 PRO and 990 PRO with Heatsink versions with a 4TB capacity. The 1TB and 2TB variants of the 990 PRO series are presently on sale.
