The SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink’s smart heat control delivers power efficiency while maintaining speed and performance; suitable for graphic-heavy gaming and creative work.
Samsung Electronics has expanded its memory range with the release of the SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink. The new SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink delivers up to 55% improvement in random read/write performance than its predecessor and enables faster loading times on PlayStation 5 and DirectStorage PC games. Samsung’s SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink is now available in 1TB and 2TB capacities.
Like the SSD 990 PRO launched in 2022, this NVMe SSD, now with Heatsink, is specifically designed for graphically-demanding and performance-intensive applications like next-gen video games, 3D rendering, 4K video editing and data analytics, and features a max performance of PCIe 4.0. Paired with in-house smart heat control, the SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink also delivers power efficiency while maintaining high speeds.
Packed within the SSD is a slim heatsink which dissipates heat to prevent performance drops due to overheating. With stable heat control and minimal fan noise, the SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink is equipped with Samsung’s latest V-NAND technology and a new, custom-built controller. The SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink delivers high sequential read and write speeds of up to 7450 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 6900 MB/s respectively – near max performance of PCIe 4.0. Random read and write speeds reach up to 1,400K and 1,550K IOPS respectively – results that are 40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than the 980 PRO. Built on a low-power architecture, the 990 PRO with Heatsink also improves the SSD’s power efficiency by up to 50% compared to the 980 PRO with Heatsink.
The SSD features a new, futuristic design with RGB lights so that users can add style to their PC builds while enjoying high-end performance and speed. Samsung Magician software can adjust the lighting to match with other LED gaming components in users’ setup. At 8.2 mm thick, the 990 PRO with Heatsink meets the PCI-SIG D8 standard and is compatible to use across a variety of devices, including desktop PCs, laptops and the PlayStation 5.
