Built for high-end computing and gaming

The Samsung 990 PRO 1TB M.2 2280 drive uses PCIe 4.0 x4 and NVMe 2.0 to deliver sequential reads up to 7450 MBps and writes up to 6900 MBps. A Samsung controller and 1GB DRAM cache manage V7 V-NAND 3bit MLC for consumer workloads.

Check motherboard slot and thermal plan

Verify the board has an M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 and that the BIOS supports NVMe 2.0. The drive ships without a heatsink, so confirm your laptop or desktop provides adequate airflow or a motherboard shield.

Sustained load behaviour

Smart thermal control uses a nickel-coated controller to manage temperature during long sessions. Power efficiency improves by 50 percent over the 980 PRO, while random performance gains of 65 percent keep IOPS steady at 1400K read and 1550K write under continuous demand.

Questions about this item

Does the 990 PRO 1TB include a heatsink or do I need to buy one separately?

The drive ships without a heatsink. If your motherboard or laptop has a built-in M.2 shield you can use that; otherwise a third-party heatsink is optional for heavy workloads.

Should I choose the 1TB model or a different capacity for gaming and heavy workstation use?

The 1TB version delivers the same 7,450 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s write as higher capacities, plus 1 GB DRAM cache and 1,400K/1,550K IOPS, making it well suited for gaming and workstation tasks.

What does the 7,450 MB/s sequential read figure mean once the drive is installed in my PC or PS5?

It represents the peak PCIe 4.0 x4 throughput for large file transfers; real-world speeds depend on your platform, workload and thermal conditions, but the drive sustains near that level for extended loads.
