With these levels of performance, it’d be interesting to see what Samsung could achieve beyond the 990 Pro as it eyes an upgrade to PCIe Gen 5. Average Power Consumption (system level) *Average: 5.5 W*Maximum: 8.5 W (Burst mode)* Actual power consumption may vary depending on system hardware & configuration

This is ultimately a high-performance SSD, so if your priority is price, this might be a bit more SSD than your budget can accommodate. Fortunately, the Samsung 980 and Samsung 970 Evo are both much more affordable alternatives if you’re looking for a Samsung SSD on a budget. There's no disputing the best-in-class performance of the 990 Pro, even without the PCIe 5.0 standard. Anyway, regarding thermals the new 990 Pro is decent, topping out at 59°C. However, in our testing the old 980 Pro only hit 53°C. While the new drive certainly doesn’t run cooler under heavy load, it is delivering quite a bit more performance and it isn’t running at temps high enough to cause concern. As we said, there’s absolutely no indication of thermal throttling. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-245-202-11_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425513-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-245-202-11_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427569-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-245-202-11_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425365-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604424915-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425000-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427359-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604431429-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604431547-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604435637-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604427151-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net,

And that’s without the company even switching to the even faster PCIe Gen 5 specifications!

In our pre-benchmark drive-filling routine, the 990 Pro maintains peak performance for around 230GB of data transfer, which aligns with Samsung’s claims in terms of the amount of capacity available in high-speed SLC mode when the drive is empty. Needless to say, as you fill the drive, that figure will drop. It’s also a little lower than most competing 2TB M.2 drives, which tend to offer 300GB of SLC cache. Thereafter, there’s little if any sign of thermal throttling. Not that throttling was much of an issue on the 990 Pro. We didn’t get a chance to test out Samsung’s power efficiency claims on mobile devices, as our test Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 uses a shorter M.2 form factor rather than the 2280 size of the 990 Pro.
