SamsungSSD 990 PRO repéré dans la nature: Lecteur client phare PCIe Gen5

Samsung prepares regulatory filing for its next-generation 990 PRO flagship client-segment SSD. The M.2 NVMe drive will leverage PCI-Express Gen 5. It remains to be seen if the drive will be an "all-Samsung" Solution (in-house controller + Flash NAND + DRAM cache); or if it will use some of the first crop of third-party Gen 5 controllers; although the former seems more likely. At least two capacities are known so far—1 TB and 2 TB. Samsung will be gunning to compete with flagship Gen 5 M.2 SSDs powered by next-generation Phison and Silicon Motion controllers that will be combined with 3D NAND flash chips with over 144 TSMC travaille sur plusieurs nœuds N3. The drive succeeds the current 980 PRO, the company’s flagship Gen 4 SSD.
