Not the fastest Samsung SSD, and it's not trying to be. The new Samsung 990 is a value-focused Gen4 drive for a moment when NAND prices are climbing thanks to the AI buildout. It's DRAM-less, rated at 7,250 MB/s reads on the 2TB, and Samsung says it's its most power-efficient SSD yet, 38% better than the 990 PRO. It trails the Pro on raw speed, but the pitch is efficiency and price: $269.99 for 1TB, $529.99 for 2TB. Full review, including AI model-load testing, at the link in bio.
