The Samsung 990 Pro is the latest in the iconic line of performance SSDs. We investigate whether Samsung has another hit in our review.
The Samsung 990 Pro M.2 Solid State Drive is out and brings even better performance than the excellent 980 Pro. However, a ton of PCIe 4.0 drives have been released over the last year. So with all the competition, has Samsung kept its edge?
The Samsung 990 Pro comes in four variations as of writing. You can get 1 TB or 2 TB in storage with or without a heatsink. The standard version is a regular 2280 format M.2 drive and looks practically the same as its predecessor, the 980 Pro. The heatsink variant, on the other hand, has been upgraded to include RGB lighting.
One thing to note is that many gaming motherboards come with their own M.2 cooling solutions these days, and if that’s the case, you’ll want to get the standard version.
