Uncompromising Performance Meets Advanced Cooling – Samsung’s SSD 990 PRO With Heatsink Comes To Australia

Samsung Electronics Australia has expanded its industry leading[2] memory range by unleashing the powerful SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink down under. Dubbed the ‘Champion Maker’, the new SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink delivers up to 55% improvement in random read/write performance than its predecessor[3] and enables faster loading times on PlayStation® 5 and DirectStorage PC games[4]. Samsung’s SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink is now available in 1TB ($219 RRP) and 2TB ($399 RRP) capacities and can be purchased via select Australian resellers and the Samsung Online store.

Like the SSD 990 PRO launched in 2022, this NVMe SSD, now with Heatsink, is specifically designed for graphically-demanding and performance-intensive applications like next-gen video games, 3D rendering, 4K video editing and data analytics. What sets it apart as the ultimate Samsung SSD is its ability to reach max performance of PCIe® 4.0[5]. Paired with in-house smart heat control, the SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink also  delivers supreme power efficiency while maintaining ferocious speeds and performance to keep competitors at the top of their game.[6]

A Smart Thermal Solution for the Ultimate Gaming Experience

Packed within this SSD is a slim heatsink which dissipates heat to prevent performance drops due to overheating. With stable heat control and minimal fan noise, the SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink is the perfect companion for immersive gaming with heavy graphics as well as creative and productivity tasks.

Top of the Line Performance for Gamers, Developers and Creative Professionals

The 990 PRO with Heatsink is equipped with Samsung’s latest V-NAND technology and the new, custom-built controller that gamers will recognise from Samsung’s previous 980 PRO and 990 PRO series. Delivering a huge speed boost, the SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink delivers exceptional sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,450 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 6,900 MB/s respectively – near max performance of PCIe.4.0. Random read and write speeds reach up to 1,400K and 1,550K IOPS[7] respectively – results that are 40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than the 980 PRO. Built on a low-power architecture, the 990 PRO with Heatsink also dramatically improves the SSD’s power efficiency by up to 50% compared to the 980 PRO with Heatsink.[8]

Futuristic Aesthetics and Versatile Design

The SSD features a new, futuristic design with RGB lights so that gamers can add style to their PC builds while enjoying high-end performance and speed. Samsung Magician software can adjust the lighting to match with other LED gaming components in users’ gaming setup or to express their individuality. At 8.2 mm thick, the 990 PRO with Heatsink meets the PCI-SIG® D8 standard and is compatible to use across a variety of devices, including desktop PCs, laptops and notably, the PlayStation® 5.

The Samsung SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink is now available to purchase via select Australian resellers and Samsung’s Online Store in 1TB (RRP: $219.00) and 2TB (RRP: $399.00) capacities.
