Samsung 990 EVO Plus Solid State Drive

Enhanced Performance and Power Efficiency - The 990 EVO Plus is built on decades of Samsung’s pioneering semiconductor technology with proven reliability. Sequential read speeds come up to 7250 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) and write speeds up to 6300MB/s, an enhancement of up to 50% over the previous 990 EVO. The performance boost is thanks to Samsung's latest 8th generation V-NAND technology and 5-nanometer (nm) controller, while an innovative nickel-coated heat shield minimizes overheating, allowing 73% higher power efficiency than its predecessor. The 4TB model has an industry-leading random read speed of 1,050K IOPS and 1,400K input/output operations per second (IOPS) for random write. This remarkable performance nearly rivals that of SSD products with DRAM, despite not using DRAM cache, making it an optimal solution for gaming and AI tasks that require high performance.

Expanded Storage Capacity - The ever-increasing demand for high-capacity storage devices is driven by managing large-sized files, high-quality video editing and next-generation gaming. To meet today’s growing storage requirements, the 990 EVO Plus offers ample capacity with a 4TB model, exceeding the storage limits of the 990 EVO. The 990 EVO Plus is equipped with Samsung’s intelligent TurboWrite 2.0, revamped for maximized performance, offering rapid file transfer speeds and reduced lag. Samsung Magician Software Support - Samsung Maggician Software presents a suite of optimization tools for enhanced functionality for all Samsung SSDs, including the 990 EVO Plus. Users can streamline the data migration process for SSD upgrades effortlessly and securely. In addition, Samsung Magician protects valuable data, monitors drive health and offers customized performance optimization.

990 EVO Plus Delivers on all Counts: Speed, Capacity, Efficiency and the Latest Technology

Built for laptop and desktop users who need to meet the ever-expanding data demands of businesses, the 990 EVO Plus is an exceptional value that checks every box for organizations of every size.

• Faster Speeds: Thanks to our latest 8th generation V-NAND technology, the 990 EVO Plus boosts sequential read/write speeds of up to 7,250/6,300MB/s. With a read speed up to 45% faster than the 990 EVO and a similar write speed to our PRO series, huge file transfers can be completed faster than ever – all thanks to TurboWrite 2.0. In fact, the 4TB version has an impressive random read speed of 1,050 IOPS and random write speeds 1,400 IOPS.
• Higher Capacity: The game-changing 990 EVO Plus delivers the storage capacity that larger applications and huge files demand — with capacities up to 4TB. Whether it’s heavy video editing, complex animations or game development, the 990 EVO Plus reduces lag and delivers the boost you need.
• Greater Power Efficiency: For power users across the organization, decreased battery life over time can slow down crucial workflows. The 990 EVO Plus can be the exact solution to improving your laptop’s power efficiency. The 990 EVO Plus features 73% greater power efficiency — and 16% less power consumption — than the previous generation, enabling users to work remotely with confidence.
• Heat Management: Overheating can shorten the lifespan of your device. That’s why we designed the 990 EVO Plus to be powerful yet cool, thanks to an efficiency-boosting nickel-coated controller. Whether multitasking or working with larger format files, your device is constantly utilizing memory. The 990 EVO Plus achieves exceptional thermal control with less power consumption.
• PCIe 4.0 and Gen 5.0 Ready: Organizations that want to maximize the capabilities of existing laptops and desktops can take advantage of the 990 EVO Plus’s compatibility with PCIe4.0 x4 and PCIe5.0 x2. Users get higher data processing and performance from the lastest computing standards.

    Applications

• Data Analysis: Data scientists and engineers working with large data sets often bump up against storage limitations. Large, high-speed SSDs are a must for offline analysis, especially for certain environments where web access is limited for security reasons.
• Content Creation: Video, graphics or 3D design files can take up dozens of gigabytes each and require significant time to save and render. Slow drives create bottlenecks that impede productivity.
• Software Development: Large, fast storage is essential for anyone working with multiple local code environments, containerized code or virtual machines for testing.
• Remote Work: Field personnel, frequent travelers or anyone with unreliable internet access may need to keep large data sets and applications stored locally, for anytime, anywhere access.
