Samsung Unveils High-Performance 990 EVO Plus SSD for Demanding Workloads
Samsung Electronics today introduced the 990 EVO Plus, a next-generation SSD specifically designed for professionals, gamers, and content creators. Notably, the new SSD leverages cutting-edge PCIe 4.0 support in combination with Samsung’s latest 8th-generation V-NAND technology. Furthermore, it includes a powerful 5nm controller, resulting in exceptional performance, improved power efficiency, and expanded storage capacities.
Unmatched Speed and Efficiency for Demanding Applications
The 990 EVO Plus builds upon Samsung’s proven track record in innovative storage solutions. Equipped with the company’s advanced 8th generation V-NAND and a 5nm controller, the SSD achieves industry-leading sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s, respectively. This translates to a significant 50% performance improvement over its predecessor, the 990 EVO, ensuring seamless handling of data-intensive tasks.
Furthermore, the new SSD prioritises energy efficiency with an innovative nickel-coated heat shield. This design effectively minimises overheating, leading to a remarkable 73% improvement in power efficiency compared to the 990 EVO. This translates to extended battery life for laptops and reduced operating costs for desktops.
Enhanced Storage Capacity for Growing Needs
Modern users require ever-increasing storage capacities for large game libraries, high-resolution video editing, and data-intensive workloads. The new SSD addresses this need by introducing a groundbreaking 4TB model, exceeding the limitations of the previous generation. This expanded capacity ensures ample storage for even the most demanding users.
Unparalleled Performance without Sacrifices
Samsung’s intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 technology has been optimised for the 990 EVO Plus, guaranteeing rapid file transfers and minimising lag. This, combined with the industry-leading random read and write speeds of the 4TB model (1,050K IOPS and 1,400K IOPS), makes the 990 EVO Plus a compelling choice for demanding tasks like high-end gaming and AI applications, even without relying on traditional DRAM cache.
Samsung Magician Software for Optimised Performance
Samsung provides user-friendly Magician software to maximise the potential of any Samsung SSD, including the 990 EVO Plus. Magician simplifies data migration during SSD upgrades, monitors drive health for preventative maintenance and offers customised performance optimisations for a consistently smooth user experience.
Availability and Pricing
The Samsung 990 EVO Plus is now available in Malaysia at the Samsung Official Store on Shopee and Lazada, as well as in select consumer electronics stores. The recommended retail price starts at RM519 for the 1TB model, RM879 for the 2TB option, and RM1,599 for the industry-leading 4TB capacity.
