Samsung Electronics Announces 990 PRO SSD - High-Performance, Deeply Optimized for Gaming and Creativity

August 25, 2022 – Samsung Electronics, a company with global advanced memory technology, today released the 990PRO, a high-performance NVMe SSD product based on PCIe 4.0 technology. This new solid-state drive (SSD) is ultra-fast and power-efficient, optimized for graphics-intensive gaming and other intensive tasks, including 3D rendering, 4K video editing and data analysis. KyuYoung Lee, vice president of Samsung Electronics Storage Brand Products Business Unit, said: "With the continuous innovation in areas such as gaming, 4K and 8K technology, and AI-driven applications, consumer demand for high-performance storage is growing exponentially. 990PRO Fully balancing the requirements of high speed, high energy efficiency and high reliability, it is ideal for creative practitioners and seasoned gamers who need to work non-stop." High performance, easy support for immersive gaming experience 990PRO series products Samsung adopts the new V- NAND technology and the newly launched self-developed controller can provide ultra-high speed in the PCIe 4.0 interface. The SSD has sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,450MB/s and 6,900MB/s, and random read and write speeds of up to 1,400K and 1,550KIOPS [footnoteRef:2]. Compared to the 980PRO, the 990PRO has a 55% increase in random read and write performance, making it ideal for demanding games and creative and productive tasks. To take full advantage of the new consoles and gaming technology, high-performance NVMe SSDs also play an important role. The 990PRO with NVMe technology reduces game load times for PCs and consoles, providing a more immersive gaming experience. LuminousProductions' upcoming action role-playing game "Forspoken"[footnoteRef:3] supports a new game loading technology. When testing with this game, the map loading time was shortened to about 1 second, compared with 4 seconds for SATASSD, mechanical hard disk (HDD) takes 28 seconds. Ultra-high energy efficiency and reliable thermal control Due to the low-power architecture, Samsung's newly designed controller greatly improves the energy efficiency of SSDs, up to 50% higher than the 980PRO[footnoteRef:4]. In addition, the 990PRO adds a nickel coating on the controller and uses tabbed heatsinks on the hard drives to ensure reliable thermal management. At the same time, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology ensures that the hard drive temperature is always at an ideal level. The 990PRO (heatsink version) also offers an extra layer of thermal control, while its RGB lighting adds a stylish touch. The Samsung 990PRO is also ideal for laptop and desktop upgrades, as well as building your own PC, not only for improved performance, but also for longer battery life and better thermal management due to less power consumption. The 990PRO will be released globally in November this year, and the 4TB capacity version will also be available next year.
