What it is
The Samsung 990 PRO 1TB is an M.2 NVMe SSD using PCI Express x4 lanes and V-NAND MLC memory, offering read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,900 MB/s.
Who it's for
This drive fits users who want fast storage performance for workstations or gaming systems but with a moderate 1TB capacity rather than larger, more expensive SSDs.
Why it's good
The 990 PRO combines excellent sequential and random speeds with reliable Samsung V-NAND technology, balancing speed and endurance for demanding day-to-day tasks.
When to choose it
Choose this SSD if you need a fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive but your storage needs don't exceed 1TB, or if you want a cost-effective upgrade from SATA or older NVMe drives.
