Samsung rates it 40% and 55% faster at random read and write than the 980 PRO, and it supports DirectStorage. It has a dedicated 1GB DRAM cache rather than relying on system memory, and a nickel-coated controller with a heat spreader label plus Dynamic Thermal Guard to manage heat. It suits gaming PCs, workstations and the PS5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeatsink, Gen 5, or a cheaper drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the bare version, only 2.3mm thick, for motherboards that have their own M.2 heatsink and for laptops. For a PS5 or a board without M.2 cooling, choose the 990 PRO with Heatsink. If your board has a PCIe 5.0 slot, the 9100 PRO is roughly twice as fast. On a PCIe 3.0 board it will work but is limited to around 3,500MB\/s. For a secondary games drive, the 990 EVO Plus is cheaper and still quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 4.0 sequential speeds up to 7,450MB\/s read and 6,900MB\/s write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster random performance for game loading and DirectStorage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 50% better performance per watt than the 980 PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel-coated controller, heat spreader label and Dynamic Thermal Guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamsung Magician for benchmarks, health checks and firmware updates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Samsung 990 PRO (MZ-V9P1T0BW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 1TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm factor: M.2 2280\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAND: Samsung V-NAND TLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eController: Samsung in-house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDRAM cache: 1GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential read: Up to 7,450MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential write: Up to 6,900MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom read (4KB, QD32): Up to 1,200,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom write (4KB, QD32): Up to 1,550,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom read (4KB, QD1): Up to 22,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom write (4KB, QD1): Up to 80,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndurance: 600 TBW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 5.5W average, 7.8W maximum, 50mW idle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncryption: AES 256-bit (Class 0), TCG\/Opal, IEEE1667\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTBF: 1.5 million hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0°C to 70°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock: 1,500G, 0.5ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 80 x 22 x 2.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Max. 9.0g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 Year limited or 600 TBW, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Samsung 990 PRO 1TB M.2 SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo installation kit or screw included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Samsung?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung makes every major component of the 990 PRO in-house, from the V-NAND and DRAM to the controller and firmware.
