Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 (up to 7450 MB/s) NVMe M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V9P1T0BW)

Product Information

All of this is possible thanks to the new in-house Pascal Controller,” Samsung explained of the 990 Pro’s class-leading performance. “It optimizes the data path from NAND through hardware automation technology and reduces processing time through cache algorithm.” We didn’t get a chance to test out Samsung’s power efficiency claims on mobile devices, as our test Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 uses a shorter M.2 form factor rather than the 2280 size of the 990 Pro. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 364bf52c.akstat.io, 364bf5fa.akstat.io, 364bf6cc.akstat.io, 36c3fef2.akstat.io, 54-154-186-178_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425586-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-154-186-178_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604429882-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-154-186-178_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425341-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-154-186-178_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425577-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net,

Both are very important measurements, especially when you're looking for both speed and efficiency. With the 990 Pro, Samsung has gone from competent and reliable performer with the prior generation 980 Pro to a competitive beast with the 990 Pro that crushes the competition.clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425567-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427446-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604429495-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604424817-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604424939-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, It's a different story in random performance, with the 990 Pro only seeing a significant advantage when multiple threads come into play. With a limited thread count, even high queue depth random reads and writes are roughly even. It looks like Samsung already perfected or nearly perfected performance for these kinds of workloads a while ago. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-245-202-11_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425513-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-245-202-11_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427569-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-245-202-11_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425365-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604424915-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425000-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, In sequential workloads, the 990 Pro significantly outpaced the 970 EVO Plus in both reads and writes, but when the queue depth is low, you'll see a slight gap in reads. However, it's unlikely you'll run into many modern applications where SSD performance actually matters but the queue depth is only one or two. When transferring large files, the 990 Pro is almost twice as fast as the 970 EVO Plus. In short, we believe that this is the world's best way to test an SSDs gaming prowess and accurately compare it against competing SSDs. The 3DMark SSD Gaming Test measures and scores the following:

I didn't notice any substantial performance degradation over time while playing, even though my review unit didn't come with a heatsink. admin.brightcove.com, metrics.brightcove.com, players.brightcove.net, sadmin.brightcove.com, vjs.zencdn.net In terms of sheer speeds, Kingston’s Fury Renegade is perhaps the closest challenger to the Samsung 990 Pro, though the victor of this comparison will largely depend on what is more valuable to you: Kingston’s drive will have slightly slower read speeds of 7,300 MB/s and slightly faster 7,000 MB/s write speeds compared to Samsung's latest and greatest. Samsung 990 Pro: Should you buy it? The Samsung 990 Pro is a bit more expensive than "competing" M.2 SSDs, but in reality, there's no competition. This is a premium SSD and it's worth every penny.

Verdict: A Zippy SSD That Can Beat the Heat

Average write speeds for the 990 Pro is 3,574.4 MB/s. It supports faster data processing due to lower latency, increases idle time, and reduces overall power,” Samsung said of the custom Pascal Controller on the 990 Pro. On paper, the biggest downside to the 990 Pro is its continued reliance on the now-aging PCIe Gen 4 specifications. Prior to the launch of the 990 Pro, there was hopeful anticipation that Samsung would make the leap to the newer PCIe Gen 5 standard for its latest flagship SSD, but that wasn’t the case. Still, Samsung managed to squeeze a lot of extra performance out of the Gen 4 technology, and the strategy to stay loyal to a tried and tested standard may not be all entirely bad news despite Gen 5’s promise of delivering twice the speeds.
