Critics' Consensus

“The Samsung 990 SSD offers improved power efficiency and overall speed compared to the 990 EVO, but suffers from significantly slower write speeds when secondary cache is depleted. It is priced similarly to faster models like the 990 Pro and 9100 Pro, making it a poor value proposition despite being a step up from its direct predecessor.”
