Samsung has unveiled its latest 990 EVO Plus Gen4 SSDs, promising a significant 50% performance boost over the previous 990 EVO models, with prices starting at just $109 USD. The new drives are designed to deliver high-speed and power-efficient storage solutions for mainstream PCs, gaming rigs, and creative workstations.
The 990 EVO Plus models feature top-notch technology, including PCIe 4.0 support and advanced NAND technology, to meet the growing demand for faster and more reliable storage. Users will experience sequential read speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,300 MB/s, ensuring a snappier and smoother computing experience. For random tasks, the drives boast impressive read speeds of 1,050K IOPS and write speeds of 1,400K IOPS.
One of the standout features of the 990 EVO Plus is the inclusion of Samsung TurboWrite 2.0, which maximizes performance even during demanding tasks like managing large files, editing high-resolution video, or intensive gaming sessions. The drive’s nickel-coated heat shield technology minimizes overheating, resulting in a remarkable 73% increase in power efficiency compared to its predecessor. Moreover, with AES 256-bit full disk encryption, users can rest assured that their data remains secure.
Built on Samsung’s longstanding expertise in semiconductor technology, the 990 EVO Plus leverages the latest 8th generation V-NAND and a cutting-edge 5-nanometer controller to deliver unrivaled reliability and speed. The 4TB model, in particular, sets a new benchmark with its industry-leading random read and write performance, rivalling SSDs equipped with DRAM, yet without the need for a DRAM cache.
As file sizes continue to grow, so does the demand for higher storage capacities. The 990 EVO Plus meets these needs with options up to 4TB, providing ample space for high-quality video editing, next-gen gaming, and managing large files with ease. The intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 technology ensures rapid file transfer speeds and minimal lag, further enhancing productivity and gaming experiences.
Pricing is competitive, with the 990 EVO Plus available in three capacities: 1TB for $109.99, 2TB for $184.99, and 4TB for $344.99. These SSDs will be available for purchase through Samsung’s official website and selected retailers starting this Fall.
