990 PRO

Superb SSD for gaming enthusiasts

Reach max performance of PCIe® 4.0.
Experience longer-lasting, opponent-blasting speed.
The in-house controller's smart heat control delivers supreme power efficiency while maintaining ferocious speed and performance, so you can stay at the top of your game.

* PCIe 4.0’s best theoretical sequential read is 8000 MB/s - 990 PRO reaches 7,450 MB/s as of Q3, 2022.

PCIe 4.0 speed maximised

Huge speed boost.
40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO - up to 1400K/1550K 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.

* Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. Intelligent Turbo Write operates only within a specific data transfer size. Performance may vary depending on SSD’s firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center * Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU@3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset - ASRock-X570 Taichi* To maximize the performance of the 990 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.*4TB to be released in 2023.

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.

* 980 PRO Sequential Read/Write - 1,129/877 MB/Watt, 990 PRO Sequential Read/Write - 1380/1319 MB/Watt based on internal test result of 1TB capacity model.

Smart thermal solution

Speed beyond the heat.
The nickel-coated controller and cutting-edge thermal control algorithm manage heat for unwavering performance. The heat spreader label controls NAND chip heat, while Dynamic Thermal Guard keeps temperatures optimal.

Game like a pro
