"When setting up a high-performance PC, when upgrading a gaming rig or when processes on a professional level demand scorching fast storage velocities, the Samsung 990 Pro SSD is the ultimate consumer-grade solid-state drive at hand. Currently, the 2TB variant has fallen to an all-time-low $159 on Amazon, from its usual $199 asking price. This fantastic Gen4 NVMe storage from Samsung is the sort serious gamers, video editors, 3D artists, and data pros depend on when seconds on load time make a difference."
"Sequential reads go up to 7,450 MB/s, writes up to 6,900 MB/s. To give you a better idea, you're getting close to the theoretical limit of the PCIe 4.0 interface which is around 8,000 MB/s tops. That means the drive takes less than eight seconds to unload a 50GB installation for a game or relocate a 4K video workflow file whilst getting coffee. These speeds are thanks to Samsung's proprietary controller and V-NAND which stacks memory cells vertically for elevated density and performance."
The Samsung 990 Pro 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD provides high-performance consumer storage for gaming, video editing, 3D work, and professional workflows. The 2TB model is priced at $159, down from $199. Sequential reads reach up to 7,450 MB/s and writes up to 6,900 MB/s, approaching the PCIe 4.0 theoretical ceiling. Typical large transfers complete in seconds. Samsung's proprietary controller and vertically stacked V-NAND enable these speeds within the M.2 2280 form factor. Random read/write throughput improves by over 55% versus the prior 980 Pro, while performance-per-watt rises up to 50%, reducing energy use and heat.
