Samsung Electronics has officially introduced its latest storage solution, the Samsung 990 SSD, to the Indonesian market. Available in both 1TB and 2TB capacities, this solid-state drive is tailored to meet the demands of gamers, content creators, and PC builders who require high-speed performance and efficiency.
Market Timing and Trends
The launch of the Samsung 990 SSD comes at a pivotal moment as the trend of PC adoption is rising in Indonesia. According to IDC data, PC shipments in the country grew by 9.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026. This growth indicates that PCs are increasingly favored for gaming and high-resolution content creation.
Performance Features
Tommy (Hyoungsuk) Kwon, Vice President of the Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics, stated, "The latest Samsung 990 SSD provides an ideal solution for users looking to upgrade their storage capacity for heavy workloads, enhance their gaming experiences, create high-resolution content, or assemble their PCs independently."
Equipped with PCIe 4.0 interface and the latest NAND technology, the Samsung 990 SSD promises rapid file transfer speeds and instant application load times:
- 2TB variant: Sequential read speeds reach 7,250 MB/s, with write speeds of up to 6,450 MB/s. Random performance measures 850,000 IOPS for reads and 1,200,000 IOPS for writes.
- 1TB variant: Sequential read speeds can hit 7,150 MB/s, with write speeds at 6,450 MB/s. Random performance is 700,000 IOPS for reads and 1,100,000 IOPS for writes.
Storage Capacity and Efficiency
With an expansive 2TB capacity, this variant can accommodate around 30 AAA game titles, assuming an average size of 64GB per game, making it an ideal storage solution without the worry of running out of space.
Beyond impressive performance, Samsung emphasizes the energy efficiency of this new line. Compared to the previous generation (Samsung 990 PRO), the 990 SSD boasts a power efficiency improvement of up to 38%. This means users can enjoy maximum performance while consuming significantly less electricity.
Software Support and Availability
The Samsung 990 SSD is fully supported by Samsung Magician software, which allows users to securely migrate data, monitor the health of their SSD, and optimize the drive's performance based on their specific PC requirements.
Scheduled to be available in the Indonesian market by the end of July 2026, the Samsung 990 SSD can be purchased through the Samsung Memory Official Store on e-commerce platforms like Tokopedia and Shopee, as well as selected retail electronic stores.
