PCIe 4.0 speed
maximized

Huge speed boost.
40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO - up to 1400K/1550K IOPS,
while sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s reach near the max performance of PCIe® 4.0.
Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.

* Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. Intelligent Turbo Write operates only within a specific data transfer size.
Performance may vary depending on SSD’s firmware, system hardware & configuration, and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center


* Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU@3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock),
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset - ASRock-X570 Taichi


* To maximize the performance of the 990 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe®4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.
