The Ultimate SSD
Reach max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Experience longer-lasting, opponent-blasting speed. The in-house controller's smart heat control delivers supreme power efficiency while maintaining ferocious speed and performance, to always keep you at the top of your game.
PCIe 4.0's best theoretical sequential read is 8,000 MB/s - 990 PRO reaches 7,450 MB/s as of Q3, 2022.
PCIe 4.0 speed maximised
Huge speed boost. 40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO - up to 1,400K/1,550K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s reach near max performance of PCIe® 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.
Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. Intelligent Turbo Write operates only within a specific data transfer size. Performance may vary depending on SSD's firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service centre. Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU @ 3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset - ASRock-X570 Taichi To maximise the performance of the 990 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website. 4TB to be released in 2023.
Breakthrough power efficiency
More power-efficient performance. Higher performance usually consumes more power. 990 PRO uses less power with up to 50% improved performance per Watt over 980 PRO. This low-power design makes max PCIe® 4.0 performance possible with optimal power efficiency.
980 PRO Sequential Read/Write - 1,129/877 MB/Watt, 990 PRO Sequential Read/Write - 1,380/1,319 MB/Watt based on internal test result of 1TB capacity model.
Smart thermal solution
Speed beyond the heat. The nickel-coated controller and cutting-edge thermal control algorithm manage heat for unwavering performance. The heat spreader label controls NAND chip heat, while Dynamic Thermal Guard keeps temperatures optimal.

As an international traveller you are entitled to bring a certain amount/value of goods that are free of Customs duty and exempt Goods and Services tax (GST) into New Zealand. This is called your duty free allowance and personal goods concession. It is important to review these for any purchases you make on The Mall.
Your duty free allowance entitles you to bring into New Zealand the following quantities of alcohol products free of customs duty and GST provided you are over 17 years of age. You do need to be 18 years or over to purchase.
