Samsung has officially introduced the SSD 990 PRO to expand its storage catalog. It is one of the fastest and most advanced hard drives on the market, but it’s still Gen4 and not the new solutions we expected to take advantage of the PCIe 5.0 interface.
You already know that the new processor platforms arriving next winter, Intel Rocket Lake and AMD ZEN 4, will debut Gen5 SSDs. Samsung is the world’s largest seller of solid state drives, and this unit is rumored to be the first. But they were wrong. We will have to wait, Samsung and other manufacturers.
In any case, the new Samsung will become a reference to cover the internal storage section of any PC, especially for high-end computers that run graphic-intensive games and other demanding tasks that move workstations, such as 3D rendering, 4K video editing and data. analysis.
And that’s exactly what Samsung is promoting for any type of PCwhether desktop or portable, whether for new equipment or upgrades. “The 990 PRO provides the optimal balance between speed, power efficiency and reliability, making it the ideal choice for ambitious gamers and creative professionals who want to work and play without interruption,” says KyuYoung Lee, vice president of the Memory Products business team at Samsung Electronics.
The news about the Samsung 980 PRO, which we analyzed a few years ago, is remarkable. It connects the latest generation of 3-bit Samsung V-NAND TLC memories, launches a brand new controller also developed by the company and adds a custom cooler and RGB lighting.
Using the PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 interface and the latest available NVMe 2.0 protocol, it achieves data transfer speeds of up to 7450 / 6900 MB/s in sequential read/write mode. The random performance improvement is even greater, 55% higher than the 980 PRO, reaching up to 1,400,000 IOPS and 1,550,000 IOPS read and write. Notably, Samsung’s redesigned controller dramatically improves the SSD’s energy efficiency, up to 50% compared to the previous drive.
Otherwise, this M.2 (2280) format drive supports AES 256-bit full disk encryption and TCG/Opal V2.0 and offers free Samsung Magician management software. Its degree of resistance is high, from 600 to 2400 written Tbytes. Finally, draw attention to cooler which includes a RGB lighting which add style and personalization to the unit.
The new SSD of the South Korean giant will be available in October and will be distributed with five-year warranty in the following storage capacities and prices:
In total. An advanced and very fast unit, but not the jump to Gen5 we were expecting. For Gen4 there are alternatives like the WD_BLACK SN850X (same or better) and others like the Corsair MP700 have already been announced, this is PCIe 5.0 which is a real leap forward.
