Its PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface delivers sequential reads up to 7,450MB\/s and writes up to 6,900MB\/s under Samsung test conditions, supported by Samsung V-NAND TLC flash, dedicated DRAM and an in-house controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the bare M.2 2280 module without a factory heatsink.

The 990 PRO combines Samsung V-NAND TLC flash with a PCIe 4.0 x4 connection for high sequential throughput, helping compatible systems handle large transfers and storage-intensive work. It is also backward compatible with PCIe 3.0, where the older connection limits achievable throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance with its conditions kept clear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung publishes sequential reads up to 7,450MB\/s and writes up to 6,900MB\/s under its test conditions. Fast sequential transfers help with moving large files, while random-access performance matters when a workload uses many smaller reads and writes. Published writing performance uses Intelligent TurboWrite; actual results depend on the drive, firmware, host hardware and configuration. Check the selected drive's performance ratings in Specs rather than treating a family maximum as a guaranteed result for every workload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThermal management alongside your cooling plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nickel-coated controller helps manage heat, the heat-spreader label supports NAND heat control and Dynamic Thermal Guard regulates operation as temperatures change. These built-in measures work alongside suitable system cooling. The bare module has no factory heatsink, so confirm the host's cooling arrangement and clearance rather than treating its thermal-control features as a replacement for an appropriate cooling solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower efficiency for an active storage workload\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung pairs its in-house controller with a low-power design to support efficient high-performance storage. Power use changes between active transfers and idle states, so the right comparison depends on the workload as well as peak speed. Check the drive's stated operating and power conditions when planning a system. Actual consumption depends on the drive, workload and power state; the efficiency focus is not a promise of a particular laptop battery-life gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlan for your working files and writing demands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated LPDDR4 cache works alongside Samsung's controller and flash in the drive's performance design. Plan storage space around the games, applications and project files you keep active, and consider how frequently the workload writes new data. Rated total bytes written describes a writing-endurance limit, rather than the amount of data held at once. Warranty coverage is limited by the stated period or the selected drive's rated TBW, whichever occurs first; its exact ratings and terms are kept in Specs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUseful visibility into drive condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn supported systems, Samsung Magician provides drive management and health monitoring, with firmware and data-migration functions available according to the operating system and connection. TRIM, automatic garbage collection and S.M.A.R.T. support complement those tools. Check for current firmware and keep a separate backup before maintenance or migration; software features do not replace backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose the correct slot and installation arrangement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm that your PC accepts an M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe drive, together with the required mounting and cooling clearance. For PS5 expansion, provide a suitable heatsink or heat-transfer structure that meets Sony's space requirements and update the console software before installation. The drive is supplied without a factory heatsink. Check that your host provides suitable M.2 mounting hardware and cooling before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSecurity features with host requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAES 256-bit full-disk encryption, TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 support are available for compatible software and system configurations. Encryption needs suitable host support and setup; it is not automatically enabled simply by installing the SSD. Keep a separate copy of important files and select security settings that suit the operating system and storage environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung 990 PRO is a strong fit for compatible PCIe 4.0 systems needing fast working storage with dedicated cache, thermal management and clear endurance ratings. Choose the capacity for your games or creative workspace, and confirm the host connection and cooling arrangement for the bare M.2 module.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samsung","offers":[{"title":"1TB","offer_id":41428648296507,"sku":"MZ-V9P1T0BW","price":405.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2TB","offer_id":41428648329275,"sku":"MZ-V9P2T0BW","price":815.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4TB","offer_id":41843681984571,"sku":"MZ-V9P4T0BW","price":1405.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/4541\/3179\/products\/samsung-990-pro-nvme-m2-ssd-838500.png?v=1791926259","url":"https:\/\/aceperipherals.com\/ja\/products\/samsung-990-pro","provider":"ACE Peripherals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
