The 990 PRO Series will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities at the Samsung Online Store<\/a>,<\/a> the Samsung Official Store on Lazada and Shopee, as well as major consumer electronics and IT retailers. A 4TB capacity version will become available in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the pricing is good. The 1TB and 2TB are S$249 and S$489 respectively (without heatsink). If you need the heatsink type, just add S$10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung Singapore Launches High-Performance 990 PRO SSD <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Optimised for Gaming and Creative Applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blazing speeds of the 990 PRO cut load times and increase game responsiveness while its thermal control solutions keep<\/em> the drive at optimal temperature for uninterrupted play<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SINGAPORE \u2013 October 28, 2022<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced that the 990 PRO SSD, high-performance NVMe SSD based on PCIe 4.0, will be available for sale starting this November. Delivering lightning-fast speeds and superior power efficiency, the new SSD is optimised for graphically demanding games and other intensive tasks including 3D rendering, 4K video editing and data analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacus Long, Director & Head, Display and Brand Memory Business, Samsung Electronics Singapore said<\/strong>: \u201cWith ongoing breakthroughs in gaming, 4K and 8K technology, as well as AI-driven applications, we recognise that consumers\u2019 demand for high-performance storage is growing exponentially. The 990 PRO provides the optimal balance of speed, power efficiency, and stability, making it unrivalled for the most demanding gaming and creative tasks for uninterrupted work and play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme Performance for an Immersive Gameplay Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring Samsung\u2019s latest V-NAND and a new proprietary controller, the 990 PRO series offers the highest speed currently available from the PCIe 4.0 interface[1]<\/sup>. The SSD delivers sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,450 megabytes per second (MB\/s) and 6,900 MB\/s, respectively. While random read and write speeds come in at up to 1,400K and 1,550K IOPS[2]<\/sup>, respectively. With up to a 55% improvement in random performance compared to the 980 PRO, the 990 PRO is particularly well-suited for heavy gaming as well as creative and productivity tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-performance NVMe SSDs are also critical in reaping the full benefits of the latest game console and gaming technologies. Powered by NVMe, the 990 PRO brings faster loading times to PCs and consoles for a more immersive gaming experience. When tested with Forspoken [3]<\/sup> , uuminous Productions\u2019 forthcoming action role-playing game supporting the latest game-loading technology, the map loading time was about one second, compared to four seconds for a SATA SSD and 28 seconds for a hard disk drive (HDD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimate Power Efficiency and Reliable Thermal Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built on a low-power architecture, Samsung\u2019s newly designed controller dramatically improves the SSD\u2019s power efficiency by up to 50% compared to the 980 PRO4<\/sup>. Additionally, the 990 PRO employs a nickel coating on the controller and a heat spreader label on the drive for reliable thermal management. Samsung\u2019s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology further ensures that the drive\u2019s temperature stays in the optimal range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 990 PRO with Heatsink version offers an additional layer of thermal control while its RGB lights add more style to the drive. The 990 PRO with Heatsink will become available in early 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung\u2019s 990 PRO is also an excellent solution for laptop and desktop upgrades as well as for build-your-own PCs, providing a significant performance boost while using less power for increased battery life and thermal management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Availability and Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 990 PRO Series will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities at the Samsung Online Store<\/a>,<\/a> the Samsung Official Store on Lazada and Shopee, as well as major consumer electronics and IT retailers. A 4TB capacity version will become available in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
