Samsung 990 Pro
NVME · 2TB · Released November 1, 2022 · $289.99 MSRP
Among Samsung's three PCIe 4.0 consumer drives here, the 990 Pro is the only one pairing a dedicated DRAM cache with the Pascal controller, and it shows in the numbers: 1.4 million random read IOPS and sequential speeds up to 7,450 MB/s put it at the top of the lineup. Released in November 2022 at a $289.99 MSRP, it targets buyers who want the fastest local storage available for gaming rigs or content-creation workstations rather than value. The 1,200TB endurance rating and five-year warranty back that positioning for heavy, sustained workloads.
