Unmatched Performance
As the successor to the 980 Pro, the 990 Pro delivers 50% better performance-per-watt while achieving blistering speeds of 7,450MB/s read and 6,900MB/s write. It outperforms competitors like WD Black SN850X and SK Hynix P41 Platinum thanks to Samsung's proprietary Pascal controller and 7th-gen V-NAND technology.
PS5 Compatibility
While overkill for Sony's console (the PS5's internal SSD becomes the bottleneck), the 990 Pro currently costs less than many slower alternatives. The included high-quality metal heatsink meets Sony's thermal requirements and fits perfectly in the PS5's expansion slot.
