Samsung 990 EVO Spec and Price in Germany
Released June 27, 2024
The 990 EVO is Samsung's value PCIe 4.0 entry, released June 2024: 5,000/4,200 MB/s sequential on a DRAM-less Piccolo controller with Host Memory Buffer, per the product page and database entries. It carries dual PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 support — the 5.0 lane mode is what lets it hit the same numbers as the PCIe 4.0-only parts at the same price point. Random IOPS settle at 680K read / 800K write, below the DRAM-backed 990 Pro, matching its everyday-computing positioning. Endurance is 600TB for the 1TB grade with a five-year warranty.
Tied 48th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 8 models share this figure. Tied 51st of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write — 3 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- A mainstream drive that balances energy efficiency with interface flexibility, with the usual management features.
- Owners find it fast for a DRAM-less drive, with strong random 4K results and quick game loads.
- Setup is described as simple, working out of the box and even inside a USB enclosure.
- Owners consider it good value for adding game or media storage.
Commonly criticised
- Its next-generation branding is ambiguous because it runs only two Gen5 lanes alongside four Gen4 lanes.
- Benchmark results were weak with high latency and low IOPS versus rivals, and launch pricing sat above faster drives.
- Being DRAM-less, it draws on host memory, and owners question its sustained performance.
- Owners repeatedly advise updating the firmware with the vendor's tool, warning that older firmware can cause trouble.
