Samsung 990 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD Launched | Up to 7250MB/s Read Speed
Samsung has officially unveiled the all-new 990 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, a cost-effective high-speed storage model tailored for the mainstream entry-level market. Designed to deliver reliable and efficient storage performance, this new solid-state drive caters to daily users, casual gamers, and light office workers. It is offered in two versatile capacity options, 1TB and 2TB, to accommodate diverse personal and commercial storage demands.
Official laboratory tests from Samsung verify that the new 990 SSD achieves a maximum performance boost of 38% compared with the classic 990 PRO model. Now available for purchase across major online retail platforms, this latest storage device comes with a standard 3-year manufacturer warranty, ensuring long-term stable operation and dependable after-sales protection for global users.
Boarding a standard M.2 2280 form factor, the Samsung 990 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD features universal compatibility with most modern desktops and laptops. Adopting a advanced DRAM-less low-power architecture, this drive integrates HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology and supports the full-speed PCIe 4.0 x4 channel. This sophisticated design effectively reduces power consumption and lowers overall hardware costs while unlocking the full potential of ultra-fast read and write performance.
The two capacity variants deliver distinct high-performance specifications to meet differentiated usage needs. The 1TB model features a sequential read speed of up to 7150MB/s and a sequential write speed of 6450MB/s, with random read performance reaching 700K IOPS and random write performance hitting 1100K IOPS. The upgraded 2TB version offers enhanced processing capabilities, boosting the maximum sequential read speed to 7250MB/s while maintaining a 6450MB/s sequential write speed. Its random read IOPS is upgraded to 850K, and random write IOPS peaks at 1200K, making the larger-capacity model more competitive in high-load scenarios.
In terms of operational endurance, the Samsung 990 SSD series features clear tiered specifications for different capacities. The 1TB variant provides a 400TBW total bytes written rating, while the 2TB model doubles the endurance to 800TBW. Such reliable durability enables the drive to handle long-term high-frequency data reading and writing, including game loading, large file transmission, daily office processing and other intensive tasks, guaranteeing extended service life and stable operation.
To optimize user operation and management experience, Samsung equips this high-speed SSD with the exclusive Samsung Magician software. As a lightweight and user-friendly management tool, it supports personalized parameter configuration for the solid-state drive, enabling users to customize operating settings and sustain consistent peak performance during long-term use.
Furthermore, the Samsung Magician tool ensures ultra-fast and secure data transmission at all times. It supports real-time SSD health monitoring to track drive operating status and detect potential risks in advance. The software also provides timely firmware update reminders, allowing users to upgrade device programs promptly, fix hidden bugs, optimize overall read-write efficiency, and keep the SSD running in a stable and high-performance state permanently.
