Samsung has yet again set the tech world abuzz with the release of its latest storage solution, the 990 Evo Plus SSD. This new solid-state drive promises to redefine expectations for both gamers and professionals alike with unprecedented speeds that are 50 per cent faster than its already speedy predecessor, the 990 Evo SSD.
A Leap in Performance and Efficiency
In January, when Samsung introduced the 990 Evo, it was praised for its impressive speed and efficiency. Fast forward to just eight months later, the electronics giant has taken it a notch higher with the 990 Evo Plus. This upgrade isn’t just about speed; it’s about setting a new benchmark in SSD performance. The 990 Evo Plus leverages Samsung’s 8th generation V-NAND technology, achieving a breathtaking maximum sequential read speed of 7,250MB/s and a write speed limit of 6,300 MB/s in its 4TB model.
Designed for the Demands of Today
Whether you’re a gamer seeking seamless performance, a business professional dealing with large databases, or a creative professional who needs to store and access large video files quickly, the 990 Evo Plus is engineered to handle diverse demands effortlessly. This SSD comes equipped with a nickel-coated heat shield that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also plays a crucial role in preventing overheating, thereby maintaining optimal performance. According to Samsung, the new SSD is “73 per cent more efficient,” a significant improvement that is reflected in its energy consumption and output. For those who delve deeper into technical specifics, the random read and write speeds stand at 1,050K IOPS and 1,400K IOPS, respectively, ensuring that every operation is faster than ever.
Versatility Across Capacities
Understanding the varied needs of its users, Samsung offers the 990 Evo Plus in multiple capacities: the spacious 4TB model for those who need extensive storage and the more compact 1TB and 2TB models for average users. Each variant comes with the Samsung Magician Software, enhancing data security with AES-256-bit full disk encryption, a feature that underscores the drive’s suitability for handling sensitive information securely.
Availability and Pricing
Set to hit the shelves this fall, the new SSD models will be available through select retailers as well as Samsung’s official website. The pricing is competitive, with the 1TB model priced at $110, the 2TB model at $185, and the 4TB model at $345. This pricing strategy not only makes the 990 Evo Plus accessible to a broad audience but also represents a significant value proposition considering the advanced technology and performance enhancements it offers.
