The Samsung 990 Pro is the latest NVMe SSD to receive the green light from the PCI-SIG as a compliant PCIe 5.0 x4 device, confirming its existence before the South Korean tech giant was able to formally announce it. Not much is known about the potentially speedy storage solution right now, but we can safely speculate some things about it.
The few details about the Samsung 990 Pro on the best SSD for gaming.
We don't know for certain what M.2 form factor the Samsung 990 Pro will adopt, but if its predecessors are anything to go by, then we shouldn't expect anything smaller than a 2280 drive. You'll likely be able to pick up one with or without a heatsink too.
Should you want to plug in a Samsung 990 Pro into your Intel Raptor Lake will also be compatible with these new speedy fast NVMe SSDs too when they roll around.
