990 Pro M.2 1TB

Average Bench: 363% (24^th of 1087)

Based on 65,401 user benchmarks. Models: Samsung SSD 990 PRO 1TB, Samsung SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink 1TB, NVMe Samsung SSD 990 PRO 1TB

The Samsung 990 Pro has a strong consumer performance profile. It offers burst read speeds of 3 GB/s and burst write speeds of 5 GB/s. The 990 Pro also offers respectable out of cache performance. At current prices (1TB $120 USD, 2TB $165 USD and 4TB $320 USD) the Samsung 990 Pro offers worse value for money than the WD Black SN850X. Samsung’s superior SSD technology allowed them to dominate the consumer market since SSDs became mainstream in 2010. However, in today’s market, their technology no longer justifies a price premium. ^{[Jun '24 SSDrivePro]}

BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE for you peeps that use PCIE GEN 3 & 4 --- at maximum speeds allowed by your PCEI. If you ARE running gen 5 PCIE then your in for 7000+ speeds at a GREAT price. They are cheap because the number of customers that have pcie 5 are still a bit low.
