Built using their V-NAND 3-bit MLC flash technology and in-house controller, the Samsung 1TB 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD offers an M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe 2.0 interface to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7450 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6900 MB/s. Users will also have access to encryption via TCG/Opal 2.0 and MS eDrive, while a TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating of 600TB helps ensure a long operational life.
The integrated heatsink helps to enhance performance by quickly dissipating heat to provide longer sustained speeds. The 990 PRO SSD and heatsink are designed to fit into desktop and laptop systems that comply with the PCI-SIG D8, 8.8mm standard. It can also fit in the Sony PlayStation 5. The heatsink has RGB LED lights to add style to function.
