The Ultimate SSD
Reach max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Experience longer-lasting, opponent-blasting speed. The in-house controller’s smart heat control delivers supreme power efficiency while maintaining ferocious speed and performance, to always keep you at the top of your game.
PCIe 4.0 speed maximised
Huge speed boost. 40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO – up to 1,400K/1,550K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s reach near max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.
Breakthrough power efficiency
More power-efficient performance. Higher performance usually consumes more power. 990 PRO uses less power with up to 50% improved performance per Watt over 980 PRO. This low-power design makes max PCIe® 4.0 performance possible with optimal power efficiency.
Smart thermal solution
Sink that heat. The slim heatsink dissipates heat to prevent performance drops from overheating. Get stable heat control, and minimal fan noise for heavy-graphic gaming. The thin body is compatible with PlayStation® 5, desktops, and laptops meeting the PCI-SIG® D8 standard.
The champion maker
The best gameplay experience. A more than 55% improvement in random performance enables faster loads for ultimate gaming realism on PS5 and DirectStorage PC games. The heatsink’s futuristic design adds style to heat control, now with RGB lights.
