The Samsung 990 Pro, one of the best SSDs, was launched last year in 1TB and 2TB flavors. Making good on its promise to release a 4TB version, Samsung has confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that the speedy PCIe 4.0 SSD will hit the market soon.
Samsung's position on PCIe 5.0 SSDs is a bit complex. While the company has some enterprise drives that leverage the PCIe 5.0 interface, it has yet to launch a consumer PCIe 5.0 SSD. The Samsung 990 Pro, an M.2 2280 drive, is still on the PCIe 4.0 interface and is currently the brand's fastest consumer drive. The company has followed up with a 4TB variant, doubling the Samsung 990 Pro's 2TB capacity. Samsung doesn't always offer the 4TB capacity with all its SSDs. For example, the Samsung 980 Pro, the predecessor to the Samsung 990 Pro, maxed out at 2TB.
