In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the 8MB block size at 5,495.64MB/s, quite some way short of the official maximum of 7,250MB/s.

The 990 EVO Plus read figure 0f 5,495.64MB/s is a little faster than the 990 PRO we tested a while ago.

In the write throughput test, the drive peaked at the end of the test with a result of 5,855MB/s, 445MB/s slower than the official maximum of 6,300MB/s.

That write test result of 5,855MB/s sees the drive in the bottom half of the results chart.
