It’s extra power-efficient, helps PCIe4.0, has expanded storage capability, and is extra dependable. Samsung claims it’s 50% quicker than its predecessor, providing lightning-fast learn speeds of as much as 7,250 MB/s and write speeds of as much as 6,300 MB/s.
As for energy effectivity, it delivers an outstanding 73% extra effectivity than the EVO 990, a feat Samsung attributes to its eighth era V-NAND know-how, 5-nanometer controller, and nickel-coated warmth defend.
In different phrases, the eighth gen V-NAND know-how can deal with extra data quicker as a result of it could retailer extra knowledge in a smaller area, that means higher efficiency and quicker entry to knowledge; the vastly environment friendly 5nm controller makes use of much less energy and processes knowledge quicker, enhancing the efficiency of duties like transferring information or loading video games. To high it off, its nickel-coated warmth defend retains overheating to a minimal so the 990 EVO Plus can stay dependable and speedy throughout heavy use.
An improve in each manner
The SSD is available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, once more topping its predecessor, whose max-capacity mannequin supplied 2TB of storage.

Samsung point out that these speeds are close to what you’d get in an SSD with a DRAM cache.
The 990 EVO Plus can be strapped with Samsung’s newly-improved TurboWrite 2.0. This characteristic was first seen again in Samsung’s 840 EVO; it quickens writes by initially utilizing a portion of the SSD’s extra space-efficient however slower triple-level cell (TLC) reminiscence in single-level cell (SLC) mode.
