PCIe 5.0 SSDs have been around for quite some time now, and they offer some good improvements over their PCIe 4.0 counterparts. These SSDs, however, aren't very easy to recommend due to their expensive price tags, and that's what Samsung is trying to change with its newly launched 990 Evo, which is compatible with the PCIe 5.0 standard. It's not necessarily the most powerful PCIe 5.0 SSD out there, as it can only leverage two PCIe 5.0 lanes. It is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 SSDs, though, meaning it still stacks up very well against some other options on the market, including the Samsung 980 Pro SSD. Let's look at how these two SSDs compare to find out which one is better to buy for your build in 2024.
