Samsung 990 Pro Spec and Price in France
Released November 1, 2022 ·
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.
15th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read. Tied 16th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write — 4 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 4 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Reviewers place its all-round performance at the top of its generation, calling out queue-depth-1 random reads in particular.
- The bundled Magician software and the level of vendor support are described as the standard the rest of the market is measured against.
- It can be bought with a heatsink and RGB lighting, which reviewers treat as a genuine option rather than a gimmick.
- Testers found it ran consistently and cool while remaining efficient.
- Owners report very fast, reliable performance and praise the vendor's management software.
- It runs cool under load and, being single-sided, fits laptops as well as desktops.
- Buyers rate it among the fastest PCIe 4.0 drives and report it installed and booted without trouble.
- Several describe it as reliable over time and rely on the vendor's software for monitoring and firmware updates.
- Reviewers repeatedly measure benchmark results at or above the manufacturer's rated read and write speeds.
- Many owners call it stable and reliable over months of use, and it is described as staying reasonably cool with a heatsink.
Commonly criticised
- Sustained write performance came in below what the reviewer expected for a flagship drive.
- Its launch price was judged too high against competing PCIe 4.0 drives.
- The recurring owner warning is that older firmware degrades drive health, so it must be updated as soon as it is installed.
- Reviewers note it costs more than rival drives of the same capacity.
- Some buyers received units with old firmware that caused intermittent non-recognition until it was updated.
- It gets very warm during large sustained transfers, so cooling matters.
- Several reviewers consider it expensive.
