The Samsung 990 PRO is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD built for speed: sequential reads up to 7450 MB/s and writes up to 6900 MB/s, close to the ceiling of the PCIe 4.0 interface. Samsung claims random read/write of up to 1400K/1550K IOPS, roughly 40% and 55% above the 980 PRO, with over 50% better performance per watt. A nickel-coated controller, a heat-spreader label and Dynamic Thermal Guard manage heat. It suits gamers, video and 3D editors, and anyone moving large files; PCIe 5.0 drives beat it on peak speed but run hotter and cost more per gigabyte.

Owners and reviewers rate the 990 PRO as one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 drives, with real gains in game loads and large file transfers over the 980 PRO. Complaints center on heat under sustained writes and on the price premium over cheaper PCIe 4.0 drives.
The Samsung 990 PRO is an M.2 (2280) NVMe solid state drive that uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. It reads at up to 7,450 MB/s and writes at up to 6,900 MB/s. It is made for gaming, video and 3D editing, and data analysis, and it works in PCs and game consoles, including the PlayStation 5.
The drive uses Samsung V-NAND, a Samsung in-house controller and Samsung low-power DDR4 cache memory. The controller is nickel-coated, and a heat spreader label helps manage heat from the NAND chips. Dynamic Thermal Guard keeps temperatures in range.
Samsung Magician software handles drive management. It can protect data, deliver firmware updates and monitor the drive's health. The drive works with computers and motherboards that support M.2 NVMe SSDs.
