The ultimate SSD for an immersive gameplay experience
The best gameplay experience. Sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s
reach near max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Up to 55% improvement in random performance
enables faster loads for ultimate gaming realism on PS5 and DirectStorage PC games.
The 990 PRO provides an optimal balance of speed, power efficiency and reliability making it an ideal
solution for heavy gaming as well as creative tasks.
- PCIe 4.0 speed maximized: Huge speed boost. 40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO - up to 1400K/1650K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s reach near max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.
- Breakthrough power efficiency: More power-efficient performance. Higher performance usually consumes more power. But, 990 PRO uses less power with over 50% improved performance per Watt over 980 PRO. This low-power design makes max PCIe®4.0 performance possible with optimal power efficiency.
