Samsung has launched the 990 EVO SSD, a revolutionary storage device that provides the option to connect via either PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 5.0 interfaces. Designed to cater to devices that support the M.2 2280 standard, the innovative Samsung 990 EVO comes with an enticing starting price of $124.99 and includes a five-year warranty for consumer assurance.
With the recent update to its 990 series, the 990 EVO brings cutting-edge PCIe 5.0 speeds into the mainstream market. The SSD is priced at $124.99 for the 1 TB version, while a larger 2 TB model is available at $209.99. Both variants boast impressive sequential read and write speeds—5,000 MB/s and 4,200 MB/s, respectively—and deliver up to 800K IOPS (QD32).
Despite providing the flexibility to use both PCIe 5.0 x2 and PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces, users won’t see a performance increase from changing interfaces. However, the 1 TB model has a substantial 600 TB lifespan, which escalates to 1,200 TB for the 2 TB version. Every 990 EVO SSD is equipped with an advanced 4 nm controller chip and is backed by Samsung’s five-year warranty.
