On Pcactive.nl and in the PC-Active magazine itself you will find the reviews of the 1TB and 2TB variants of the 990 EVO Plus SSD. The 4TB version is now also available and offered us for review. This model can be used in systems with a PCIE 4.0 bus with 4 lanes or PCIE 5.0 with 2 jobs. The performance remains the same, since the speed of PCIE 5.0 bus is double the PCIE 4.0. We have measured the performance in a computer with a PCIE4 bus and come to the results as shown below:

These results are at the 4 TB, especially with writing, at a higher level than the previously tested 1TB and 2TB models. A point of attention is that with long -term and heavy load, these SSDs can get hot, reducing the speed. Heat management sets or Heatlinks can delay that.
Warranty
A positive aspect is that the warranty of the 4 TB runs to 5 years or 2400 terabytes of written (TBW). That is considerably more than the 600 TBW of the 1 TB and the 1200 TBW of the 2 TB.
