Samsung Electronics announced the release of its new 990 EVO Plus SSD in Malaysia today.
The new PCIEe 4.0 NAND SSD comes in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities, with read speeds up to 7.25 GB/s, much faster than the current standards set on gaming consoles’s internal SSDs (PS5 is 5.5 GB/s, Xbox Series X has 2.4 GB/s.)
The 1TB variant’s read speed is rated at up to 7.15 GB/s, however.
Samsung said the performance increase here is up by 50% from the previous 990 EVO SSD. And it’s also 73% more power efficient through the use of nickel-coated heat shield that prevents overheating.
Like all Samsung SSDs, the 990 EVO Plus also supports the Samsung Magician software for data transfers, SSD health monitoring and more.
