Built using their V-NAND 3-bit MLC flash technology and in-house controller, the Samsung 2TB 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD offers an M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe 2.0 interface to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7450 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6900 MB/s. Users will also have access to encryption via TCG/Opal 2.0 and MS eDrive, while a TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating of 1200TB helps ensure a long operational life.
The integrated heatsink helps to enhance performance by quickly dissipating heat to provide longer sustained speeds. The 990 PRO SSD and heatsink are designed to fit into desktop and laptop systems that comply with the PCI-SIG D8, 8.8mm standard. It can also fit in the Sony PlayStation 5. The heatsink has RGB LED lights to add style to function.
Get sequential read speeds of up to 7450 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6900 MB/s with the 990 PRO and push the limits of what SSDs can do. The 990 PRO is powered by Samsung's own controller, which is designed to harmonize the flash memory components and the interface for improved speed, with a PCIe 4.0 interface that's up to twice as fast as PCIe 3.0 SSDs, so every component of this NVMe 2.0 SSD is manufactured by Samsung for lasting performance.
