Samsung 990 EVO Plus
NVME · 2TB · Released September 25, 2024 · $184.99 MSRP
Samsung dropped the DRAM cache on the 990 EVO Plus, yet sequential read still reaches 7,250 MB/s on PCIe 4.0 — within a few hundred MB/s of the flagship 990 Pro. Random IOPS settle lower at 1,000,000/1,350,000, reflecting its position as the everyday-use, mainstream successor rather than a workstation part. At $184.99, well under the 990 Pro's launch price, it fits builders who want near-flagship sequential throughput without paying for the DRAM-backed performance ceiling.
