Samsung unveils 990 EVO Plus SSD, which is 50% faster than the regular 990 EVO

Toward the start of 2024, Samsung disclosed the 990 EVO SSD, presently sending off an Or more variant is significantly quicker and offers a higher limit choice for those that need more than 2TB.

The Samsung 990 EVO In addition to SSD upholds PCIe 4.0 x4 and 5.0 x2 interfaces. It is based on a 5nm regulator, the most recent NAND tech (it utilizes tender loving care chips) and a nickel-covered heat safeguard. Samsung claims that this SSD is 73% more power productive than its ancestor.

Yet, how about we talk speed - the top 4TB model offers industry-driving arbitrary access activities, 1,050K IOPS input and 1,400K IOPS yield. Consecutive access can reach 7,250MB/s peruses and 6,300MB/s composes. For examination, the vanilla 990 EVO does 700K IOPS input and 800K IOPS yield, consecutive rates are 5,000MB/s peruses and 4,200MB/s composes. All in all, the EVO In addition to is half quicker than the customary EVO.

Note that the EVOs lack on-board DRAM (they use the host RAM instead), but Samsung claims that the EVO Plus performance “nearly rivals” that of SSDs with DRAM.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus is optimized for gaming, business and creative tasks. It comes in three sizes: 1TB, 2TB and 4TB. Note that the lower capacities have slightly slower random and sequential speeds, but not by much. Even the base 1TB model does 7,150MB/s and 6,300MB/s sequential read/write and 850K/1,350K IOPS random access.

The launch prices are actually lower than what the vanilla EVO SSDs used to cost in January. The 1TB EVO Plus is $110, while the vanilla SSD was $125 (EVO prices have tumbled since then, of course). The 2TB Plus launches at $185 and the 4TB one at $345.
