Samsung released the 990Pro series solid-state drives in August 2022. However, at that time, Samsung believed that PCIe5.0 was unnecessary for most players, so this series only provided the PCIe4.0 version, so the speed was not close to 10,000MB/S. This week, Samsung launched the cheaper 990EVO series based on the 990 series. This is an upgraded version of the 970EVOPLUS and supports PCIe4.0 and PCIe5.0.
Since it is the EVO series, the parameters can only be compared with the EVO series. Compared with the 970EVOPLUS, the performance of the 990EVO has been improved by 43%, with a reading speed of 5000MB/S and a writing speed of 4200MB/S. This is still far behind the 990PRO series based on PCIe4.0, but after all, the EVO series is cheaper.
