With sequential read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,300 MB/s, this new series of SSDs is up to 50% faster than the standard 990 EVO. It also boasts boosted random read/write speeds of 1,050K IOPS and 1,400K IOPS respectively. Samsung has also promised reduced lag and higher file transfer speeds thanks to their TurboWrite 2.0 technology.

Like its predecessor, the Samsung 990 EVO Plus features PCIe 4.0 x4 and 5.0 x2 support. The drive will also be available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB forms. These drives will be available with MSRP prices of $109.99 for the 1TB model, $184.99 for the 2TB model, and $344.99 for the 4TB model.

In time, the 990 EVO Plus will replace today’s 990 EVO, delivering higher SSD speed to mainstream users. These new SSDs will be available this Fall, with Samsung giving us no firm release date.
