Maximized PCIe® 4.0 speedHuge speed boost.
Get random read/write speeds that are 40%/55% faster than 980 PRO. Experience up to 1400K/1550K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s reach near the max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video editing, 3D modeling, data analysis and more.
* Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. Intelligent Turbo Write operates only within a specific data transfer size. Performance may vary depending on SSD’s firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center.
* Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU@3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset - ASRock-X570 Taichi.
* To maximize the performance of the 990 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.
*4TB to be released in 2023.
