The Samsung 990 PRO 2 TB is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive designed for demanding computing applications. This internal SSD delivers sequential read speeds up to 7450 MB/s and write speeds up to 6900 MB/s, approaching the maximum performance capabilities of the PCIe 4.0 interface. Compared to its predecessor, the 980 PRO, it offers approximately 40% faster random read performance and 55% faster random write performance, achieving up to 1400K IOPS for reads and 1550K IOPS for writes. The drive features advanced thermal management with a nickel-coated controller and sophisticated thermal control algorithms that maintain consistent performance during extended usage. A heat-spreading label helps regulate NAND chip temperatures while Dynamic Thermal Guard technology optimizes thermal conditions. Power efficiency has been significantly improved, delivering over 50% better performance per watt compared to the previous generation while operating at lower power consumption levels. This makes the 990 PRO particularly suitable for gaming systems, video editing workstations, 3D rendering applications, and data analysis tasks where sustained high performance is essential. The drive is compatible with PlayStation 5 consoles and supports Microsoft DirectStorage technology for faster game loading times on compatible PC systems. Samsung Magician software provides comprehensive drive management capabilities including performance optimization, firmware updates, health monitoring, and customizable LED lighting controls. All components, including Samsung's proprietary DRAM and NAND flash memory, are manufactured in-house to ensure end-to-end integration and reliability. The MZ-V9P2T0BW model represents Samsung's latest advancement in SSD technology, building on the company's extensive experience in flash memory manufacturing since 2003.
