Cool performance for heated action

Get almost all the performance that the currently fastest standard PCIe 4.0 offers.1
Rapid speed and high energy efficiency

PCIe 4.0 speed maximized
40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO – up to 1400K/1550K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s reach near max performance of PCIe 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.2 3

Breakthrough power efficiency
The 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
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.
Gaming the way it should be

The optimal gameplay experience
A more than 55% improvement in random performance enables faster loads for ultimate gaming realism on PS5 and DirectStorage PC games. The heatsinks futuristic design adds style to heat control, now with RGB lights.

1 PCIe 4.0s best theoretical sequential read is 8000 MB/s – 990 PRO reaches 7450 MB/s as of Q3, 2022. 2 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 SSDs firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center 3 Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU @ 3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS C 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. 980 PRO Sequential Read/Write – 1,129/877 MB/Watt, 990 PRO Sequential Read/Write – 1380/1319 MB/Watt based on internal test result of 1TB capacity model. PCI-SIG D8 standard spec: 8.8mm DirectStorage technology from Microsoft loads games faster than before by leveraging the multiple GB/sec speed of modern NVMe SSDs. Results are based on a comparison with Samsung 980 PRO The LED display color may appear different from the color setting due to viewing angles and/or environmental factors
