990 Pro M.2 4TB

Average Bench: 488% (9^th of 1080)

Based on 4,063 user benchmarks. Models: Samsung SSD 990 PRO 4TB, NVMe Samsung SSD 990 PRO 4TB, Samsung SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink 4TB

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]}
