Samsung has started sales of the highest capacity version of its flagship 990 Pro retail SSD, which are among the best SSDs available today. The new 4TB 990 Pro comes over a year after the launch of 1TB and 2TB models, due to popular demand from end users, according to the company.
Samsung's 990 Pro 4TB can now be purchased from Amazon as well as directly from Samsung for $345 with a minimalist graphene heat spreader, making it an ideal choice for laptop users and for $355 with a robust aluminum heatsink, optimized for ensuring stable performance even under intense workloads. Both devices are designed for desktops, laptops, and Sony's PlayStation 5.
Samsung's 990 Pro 4TB model offers impressive sequential read and write speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and 6,900 MB/s, respectively. Random performance is on par with drives harnessing a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface, as it achieves 1,400,000 IOPS for reads and 1,550,000 IOPS for writes.
The new SSD benefits from a five-year limited warranty or coverage that extends up to 2400 terabytes written (TBW).
