THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.
SPECIFICATIONS SIDE BY SIDE3 topics

01 / 03

Factory heatsink

Check the exact drive envelope and host cooling requirements. A factory heatsink can change clearance and removal restrictions; its presence alone does not prove faster sustained performance.

Samsung 990 PRONo

Manufacturer specification · This BW gallery and 2.3 mm bare-board specification show no factory heatsink. A heat-spreader label is not the taller CW heatsink. Host cooling may still be needed.

Samsung 990 PRO with HeatsinkYes

Manufacturer specification · Factory fitted. Samsung instructs users not to remove it or overtighten the drive; removing it voids the stated product warranty. Check the complete 80.15 × 25 × 8.88 mm clearance.

Explore the full specifications

Check the connection before the capacity. M.2 NVMe modules and 2.5-inch SATA drives are not interchangeable. Check the host’s protocol, slot or bay, power connection and clearance. Rated speeds use different test systems; we do not turn them into a speed score or overall winner.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Samsung 990 PRO

What it brings

  • Rated up to 7,450 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write over PCIe 4.0 x4, with up to 1.4 million random read and 1.55 million random write IOPS.
  • TLC V-NAND with a 2 GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache, plus a five-year warranty covering up to 1,200 TB written.

What to check

  • No factory heatsink, so plan for motherboard or case cooling. Peak write speed relies on the TurboWrite cache, and Samsung does not list a post-cache write speed for this model.
  • It also works in PCIe 3.0 slots, but its rated speeds need a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot.

Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink

What it brings

  • Rated up to 7,450 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write over PCIe 4.0 x4, with up to 1.4 million random read and 1.55 million random write IOPS.
  • TLC V-NAND with a 2 GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache, plus a five-year warranty covering up to 1,200 TB written.

What to check

  • The fitted heatsink makes the drive 25 mm wide and 8.88 mm tall, so check clearance, and Samsung says not to remove it. Peak write speed relies on the TurboWrite cache, and Samsung does not list a post-cache write speed for this model.
  • It also works in PCIe 3.0 slots, but its rated speeds need a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot.
