The new 990 Pro is designed with PC and console gaming in mind, but Samsung says it\u2019s also good for other intensive tasks like 3D rendering and various creative activities.<br \/>\nThe 990 Pro is a nice little upgrade over the 980 Pro, the latter being our preferred SSD for the PS5. There\u2019s more than just functional improvements going on with the 990 Pro though. Samsung also added some visual upgrades. Though we wouldn\u2019t exactly call it a feast for the eyes, since you\u2019ll likely rarely see it, the new 990 Pro with a heatsink has RGB lighting.<br \/>\nSamsung makes the 990 Pro more gamer-like with RGB lighting<br \/>\nSince this is designed with PC gaming in mind as well, it could be a nice visual touch for your rig. Provided you have a motherboard that\u2019s compatible. Inside of the PS5 though, you\u2019re never going to see those lights. Not only is the PS5 console cover\u00a0going to block off any visual contact, the slot for the drive has its own small cover plate as well. Basically, don\u2019t buy this drive just for the RGB lighting on the heatsink if you\u2019re looking at it for a PS5 storage expansion. Get it because it\u2019ll be a good performer. And make no mistake, if it\u2019s as good as the 980 Pro, it\u2019ll be a good performer.<br \/>\nThat being said, with Samsung\u2019s improvements, it should be better. And on paper it certainly appears to be. Samsung states the 990 Pro has faster sequential read and write speeds. Specifically up to 7,450 MB\/s read and up to 6,900 MB\/s write. Which Samsung notes is a 55% improvement in random performance over the 980 Pro.<br \/>\nBetter thermal controls for sustained performance<br \/>\nTo ensure that those faster read and write speeds stay faster, Samsung has also outfitted the 990 Pro with better thermal control. This includes the use of a few different components. For starters, there\u2019s a nickel coating on the controller. There\u2019s also a heat spreader label on the drive to help manage the thermals further. And if you go with the heatsink model you get even more thermal management.<br \/>\nBoth models of the drive will go on sale in October starting at $179 for the 1TB model. The 2TB model will retail for $309. Keep in mind that these are likely the prices for the version without the heatsink. In addition to the 1TB and 2TB drives, Samsung will offer a 4TB drive as well, which it says will be out in 2023.<br \/>\nThe post Samsung&#8217;s New 990 Pro NVMe SSD Is Designed For Gaming appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Samsung-990-Pro-NVMe-SSD.jpg\" width=\"1287\" height=\"694\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Samsung has announced its new 990 Pro NVMe SSD, which comes in a model with or without the heatsink.
