Notably, the 1TB variant of the 990 Pro is also available at a reduced price of $249.99 , which was retailing for $339.99 during the same period.

The Samsung 990 Pro is an industry-leading consumer SSD that promises sequential read and write speeds of 7,450 and 6,900 MBps with random read and write IOPS of 1.4 and 1.55 million.
The Samsung 990 Pro is a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD offering maximum sequential read speeds of 7,450 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 6,900 MB/s with random reads/writes at 1.6 million and 1.55 million IOPS, respectively. It uses a 176-layer V-NAND TLC flash chip and comes with a rated endurance of 1200 TBW (2TB model). In our testing , the Samsung 990 Pro proved to be one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs, offering excellent performance and solid efficiency with consistently low operating temperatures.

Gokupp $200 off? You know things have gone WAY to far when the "DISCOUNT" is more than the product used to cost less than one year ago! Reply
apakett The price spiked in April and has now come down. Memory companies are making a fortune on AI demand. Micron claimed to get out of the consumer market, but has backtracked a little, selling to OEMs only. Expect wild fluctuations until supply picks up or the AI bubble bursts. Reply
