Samsung 990 PRO: Ultra-Fast Gen4 NVMe SSD for Top-Tier PC & Console Builds
The Samsung 990 PRO is a flagship internal NVMe SSD designed for gamers, content creators, and professionals who demand the highest performance. In an M.2 2280 form factor, it delivers PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth with sequential read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,900 MB/s — dramatically reducing load times and accelerating large file workflows.
Key Features
- Blazing sequential speeds - Up to 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write for ultra-fast game loads and file transfers.
- PCIe 4.0 x4 & NVMe 2.0 - Latest high-bandwidth interface that maximizes throughput on compatible systems.
- Compact M.2 2280 - Slim, single-sided design fits modern PCs, laptops and supported consoles without space compromises.
- Advanced thermal design - Nickel-coated controller and efficient heat management minimize throttling during sustained workloads.
- High endurance & security - Up to thousands of TBW depending on capacity, AES-256 encryption support and Samsung Magician software for drive management.

Performance Excellence
Delivering near the upper limits of PCIe 4.0 performance, the 990 PRO excels at heavy sequential transfers, demanding game asset streaming, and professional media workflows. Optimized firmware and a Samsung in-house controller deliver strong random I/O and sustained throughput for real-world workloads.
Whether you're editing multi-layer 4K/8K footage, compiling large projects, or loading expansive game worlds, the 990 PRO reduces wait time and keeps your system responsive under stress.
User Experience & Comfort
Installation is simple: plug into a PCIe-compatible M.2 slot, secure with a single screw, and use Samsung Magician for firmware updates and drive health monitoring. The drive's low-profile design means it fits in compact builds while delivering high performance without loud cooling solutions.
Samsung Magician software simplifies maintenance with performance optimization, benchmarking and secure erase tools—keeping your drive healthy and performing at its best.
Design & Build Quality
The 990 PRO uses a nickel-coated controller and carefully tuned PCB to manage heat and power efficiently. Its sturdy construction and attention to thermal design help sustain peak performance without excessive throttling during long sessions.
A single-sided M.2 PCB keeps compatibility broad across modern systems while minimizing installation complexity for builders and upgraders.
Connectivity & Compatibility
- M.2 2280 slot (PCIe 4.0 x4) — requires motherboard/CPU support for full Gen4 speeds.
- NVMe-compliant — works with systems supporting NVMe drives; check BIOS and slot bandwidth for optimal performance.
- Software: Samsung Magician for Windows — firmware updates, optimization, and encryption management.
Perfect For
- High-end gaming rigs where fast load times and quick asset streaming matter.
- Content creators and video editors working with large 4K/8K files and complex timelines.
- Developers and power users who need fast compile times and responsive storage.
- Console owners (PS5-compatible configurations) looking to expand ultra-fast storage.
Why Choose This Product
The Samsung 990 PRO balances extreme performance, proven endurance, and a trusted software ecosystem. Backed by Samsung's warranty and Magician management tools, it's a future-proof choice for builds where storage speed is a top priority.
Choose the 990 PRO if you want to minimize bottlenecks, speed up workflows, and invest in a high-quality NVMe solution that remains reliable under heavy use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I get the full 7,450 MB/s speed on my PC?
A: Achieving maximum speeds requires a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, a compatible CPU/motherboard and up-to-date NVMe drivers. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or with shared lane bandwidth will see reduced throughput.
Q: Is the 990 PRO worth the price over Gen3 drives?
A: For everyday tasks, Gen3 drives are adequate; however, for large transfers, professional media work, and gaming with heavy asset streaming, the 990 PRO provides measurable time savings and future-proofing.
Q: Is this compatible with PS5?
A: The 990 PRO is physically compatible with PS5 expansion slots that accept M.2 NVMe drives, but installation requires meeting Sony's size, heatsink, and firmware compatibility guidelines. Check PS5 storage upgrade instructions before purchase.
