A flagship Gen4 boot and game drive with class-leading random performance.
The Samsung 990 PRO 1TB is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD for gaming PCs, workstations and the PS5. It reads at up to 7,450MB/s, writes at up to 6,900MB/s and delivers up to 1.2M random read and 1.55M random write IOPS, with a 600 TBW endurance rating and an efficient Samsung controller.
Why Your Boot Drive Should Be Your Fastest Drive
The drive that runs your OS and favorite games handles thousands of small random reads every minute. Drives with weak random performance make the whole system feel slower, regardless of their peak sequential speed.
The 990 PRO 1TB is built around exceptional random performance. Its Samsung controller, LPDDR4 cache and V-NAND keep boots, app launches and game loads fast, which is why it is a top choice for a primary drive.
Flagship Gen4 Performance
Up to 7,450MB/s sequential reads and up to 1.2M random read IOPS make the 990 PRO ideal for DirectStorage games, creative apps and fast system responsiveness.
Cool, Efficient and Reliable
Samsung’s 8nm controller improves power efficiency, and Dynamic Thermal Guard helps prevent throttling. The 1TB model carries a 600 TBW rating and Samsung Magician support.
