Overview
The 990 EVO Plus sits in a smart spot: it supports both PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 interfaces, though at 5.0 it runs at x2 lanes instead of x4. Real-world speeds hit 7,250 MB/s reads, which is within spitting distance of the flagship 990 Pro. What makes it interesting is the price - it is cheaper than the Pro, but in everyday use - gaming, booting, loading apps - you will not feel the difference. The HMB technology means no DRAM cache, which keeps costs down without hurting typical workloads.
