Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCIe 4.0 (up to 7450 MB/s) NVMe M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V9P2T0BW)

Product Information

With the 990 Pro, Samsung has regained its speed crown, and this is arguably one of the fastest, if not the fastest, drives on the market today. And that’s without the company even switching to the even faster PCIe Gen 5 specifications! Samsung’s Advanced Heat Dissipation Technology keeps the SSD at optimal temperature for hours of gameplay without performance degradation,” the company said.

Under heavy loads, temperatures rose to about 75 to 85 degrees Celcius for the 990 Pro on our Talon test sytem. So, how does this new drive actually perform? In our pre-benchmark drive-filling routine, the 990 Pro maintains peak performance for around 230GB of data transfer, which aligns with Samsung’s claims in terms of the amount of capacity available in high-speed SLC mode when the drive is empty. Needless to say, as you fill the drive, that figure will drop. It’s also a little lower than most competing 2TB M.2 drives, which tend to offer 300GB of SLC cache. Thereafter, there’s little if any sign of thermal throttling. Not that throttling was much of an issue on the 990 Pro. As a last hurrah for PCIe 4.0 SSDs, this one is a fitting coda as we head into the PCIe 5.0 galaxy of hardware. Decently priced all things considered, this will be the last PCIe 4.0 SSD standing when the PCIe 5.0s take over, and it absolutely deserves to be.

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.” Anyone wanting to upgrade their storage size and/or speed on their desktops or laptops that support M.2 2280 format solid-state drives 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. 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,

Samsung’s prior generation 980 Pro trailed both the WD and Kingston drives in both PCMark 10 and 3DMark storage tests. Given the level of performance that we got from the 990 Pro this year, Samsung’s latest flagship is a solid upgrade for anyone with an older drive, especially data scientists and gamers who need this level of performance. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604429563-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-129-82_ts-1604425062-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-143-18_ts-1604429398-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-143-24_ts-1604429274-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-143-24_ts-1604429365-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 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, For starters, this means that gamers on older rigs would be able to experience some of the speed benefits of the new 990 Pro memory. The move to remain on the Gen 4 standard also likely means that Samsung is able to better control pricing and manage yields.gzfstpqccuqvax5bu2ia-p6uwyn-30e7a92df-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqccuqwcx5bswqa-pplxq4-ee58ceb89-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqccuqwcx5bu3mq-p6qff7-f4c4075e7-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqccuqwcx5buz4q-pbk4m8-d20c90e54-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqccuqxax5bt4ka-p3fi1s-1fcad7cd5-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqxzp4swx5bsttq-p683qt-2c3f6e21e-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqxzp4swx5bsu5q-pyioyl-3b5424f35-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604439174-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604441206-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604441267-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425484-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425610-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, Using the same CrystalDiskMark utility, the 990 Pro scored an average of 4,123.1 MB/s on the read tests. Average write speeds for the 990 Pro is 3,574.4 MB/s.

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. elzm74yccuqwcx5btaca-p2p13t-2edd5f4d6-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yccuqwcx5buakq-p7s1ie-7095e2510-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yccuqxax5b2o7q-partxm-0ba99e22d-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yccuqxax5bs6fa-pnivpg-c492934bb-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yccuqxax5bt5qq-pcrjf9-bdc24fa26-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yccuqxax5bzp4q-pkl6rx-fb475a90e-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bs4ga-p9xzbs-ed47165ae-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net,gzfstpqxzp4swx5bsvra-ps8whv-800c4ca06-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqxzp4swx5bt2ka-p3owfu-9bef421db-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpqxzp4swx5btynq-p80cg4-5fbda6ae3-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, gzfstpsy3wdkax5btvta-pc4hb3-c24fbde0b-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, i03f9f400-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i03fa4400-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i03faac00-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i03fae300-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i03fb4f00-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f29600-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net,
