Enhanced Performance
The 990 EVO offers enhanced performance of up to 43%
compared to the previous model, 970 EVO Plus. Sequential read speeds come up to
5,000 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) and write speeds up to 4,200 MB/s. Random
read and write speeds also get a boost with up to 700K input/output operations
per second (IOPS) and 800K IOPS, respectively.
By using Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology to directly link
to the host processor’s DRAM, the SSD can achieve optimized performance even
with a DRAM-less design. Users upgrading from previous mainstream SSDs will
experience significantly faster loading speeds for games and swift access to
large files.
Improved Power Efficiency and Smart Thermal Solution
The Samsung 990 EVO improved power efficiency of up to
70% when compared to the 970 EVO Plus, allowing users extended usage on PCs
without the constant concern for battery life. It also supports Modern Standby1, which enables an instant on/off
function with uninterrupted internet connectivity and seamless notification
reception, even in low-power states.
The 990 EVO’s heat spreader label effectively regulates
the thermal condition of the NAND chip, allowing operations to consistently run
at their highest levels without compromising drive integrity.
A Versatile SSD for Current and Future Computing
The 990 EVO is a versatile SSD created to meet current
computing needs and in anticipation of future requirements. Users can
experience seamless multitasking with a single SSD that caters to the demands
of everyday such as gaming, business and creative workflow.
Supporting both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 interfaces,
the 990 EVO fits the needs for today’s PCs supporting PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots while
it also offers compatibility along with thermal control and power savings for
PCIe 5.0 interfaces in upcoming applications.
The 990 EVO comes in 1 terabyte (TB) and 2TB capacity
options.
