Editing videos, downloading a game or copying files. All these tasks may not take tens of seconds or even minutes. When driving fast, you won’t even have time to read the hint on the loading screen.
Samsung 990 PRO drives represent the absolute pinnacle of NVMe storage offering using PCIe 4.0 interface. This year’s version pushes the speed to the max and offers up to 7450MB/s write and 6900MB/s read. The respected magazine Tom’s Hardware describes this model as the return of the king. Their review found it to be the fastest PCIe 4.0 drive on the market in many tests, delivering consistently high performance. Samsung has achieved this by using the latest generation of 3-bit V-NAND MLC flash memory and a proprietary driver.
In practice, the disk thus speeds up the work on the computer and the speed of loading games. The role-playing game Forspoken from Luminous Productions loads on Classic Disc in 28 seconds. SATA SSD can load a game card in 4 seconds, in case of Samsung 990 PRO SSD, loading using DirectStorage takes about a second. So there is a big difference.
Another key highlight of the Samsung 990 PRO is the software that enables economical operation at lower temperatures. Thanks to this, disk consumption will be reduced by half compared to the predecessor 980 PRO. At current electricity prices, any savings are worth it.
The Samsung Magician software has been proven over the years and is back updated with this year’s discs. Thanks to this program, you can monitor disk health, tune performance, and especially protect your valuable data. There is also 256-bit AES hardware encryption.
The Samsung 990 PRO is currently available in 1TB and 2TB versions. At the beginning of next year, you can also expect a variant with a radiator. The disk in this version can store not only a number of games, but also large files for video editing and other work that requires large amounts of data.
PlayStation 5 console owners will be happy to know that the heatsink version will be compatible with the console. With the Samsung 990 PRO, you can expand your console’s storage in minutes and reduce boot times even when compared to built-in storage. Even a smaller 1TB capacity will more than double your console’s capacity. When installed in a PC, the cooler’s adjustable RGB lighting is highlighted.
But computer enthusiasts will like the version without a heatsink, which is a bit cheaper. In a computer case, NVMe M.2 slots are usually located in places where there is decent airflow. The best motherboards also offer their own heatsinks for M.2 drives. Thanks to the offer of models without a radiator, you can save several hundred.
The Samsung 990 PRO starts at CZK 4499 and this model confirms that the prices of the best SSDs continue to drop. A few years ago, you would have bought a mid-range model with half the speed for the same amount. Today, for the same amount, you get absolute high-end.
