Muhammad NaeemThe Samsung 990 PRO 1TB is Samsung’s flagship PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive, and it is one of the fastest Gen4 SSDs you can put in a gaming PC or a PlayStation 5. Local pricing, though, is all over the place: the exact same 1TB drive shows up under two different model codes in Pakistan, and the sticker gap between sellers is hard to believe until you check it yourself.
Quick answer: the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB price in Pakistan runs from Rs 48,500 for the heatsink version at MyShop.pk to Rs 89,500 for the bare drive at the same store, based on listings checked on 1 October 2026. Two other known PC stores list the bare drive around Rs 49,000 to Rs 72,000, but both were out of stock when checked, so treat those numbers as reference points, not prices you can pay today.
Samsung 990 PRO 1TB Price in Pakistan: Verified Seller Prices
| Seller | Configuration | Price | Stock note |
| MyShop.pk | 1TB with heatsink (MZ-V9P1T0CW) | Rs 48,500 | Listed in stock; same-day delivery shown |
| MyShop.pk | 1TB bare drive (MZ-V9P1T0BW) | Rs 89,500 | Listed in stock; same-day delivery shown |
| RB Tech and Games | 1TB bare drive | Rs 48,999 | Out of stock at last check |
| TechGlobe.pk | 1TB bare drive | Rs 71,999 | Out of stock at last check; 2-year local warranty listed |
Read the table carefully before you compare anything. The heatsink model (model code ending in CW) is the one most PS5 owners want, and right now its live listing is cheaper than the bare drive at the same shop, which is unusual and worth confirming on a call before you transfer money. The out-of-stock figures from RB Tech and Games and TechGlobe.pk still matter: they show what this drive has actually sold for in Pakistan, and they are a good reason to ask any seller why a quote is far above them.

What These Specs Mean in Daily Use
The headline figures put the 990 PRO at the top of the Gen4 class: 7,450 MB/s reads and 6,900 MB/s writes are close to the practical ceiling of a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. In a real PC that translates into fast game installs, quick level loads and large file copies that stay quick, helped by the 1GB DRAM cache that keeps write speeds steady when the drive fills up. The 600 TB endurance rating is healthy for a 1TB drive, and Samsung’s Magician software makes firmware updates and health checks simple, which matters when local warranty support is thin.
For PS5 owners, the heatsink variant is the relevant one. Sony asks for a heatsink on any internal expansion drive, and the factory-fitted Samsung heatsink is slim enough for the console’s bay. If you buy the bare drive for a PC, check whether your motherboard already has an M.2 heatsink cover, because most mid-range and better boards do.
Buying Advice for Pakistan
Variant discipline is everything with this drive. MZ-V9P1T0BW is the bare 1TB model and MZ-V9P1T0CW is the same capacity with the heatsink; a seller quoting you the heatsink price for the bare drive, or the other way round, changes what you are actually getting. Confirm the exact model code, then confirm stock, because two of the four listings we checked were out of stock. Local warranty on Samsung SSDs here usually runs through the retailer for 1 to 2 years even though Samsung’s own limited warranty is 5 years, so ask who handles a dead drive before you pay. If the heatsink listing at Rs 48,500 is genuinely in stock, it is the obvious buy; a bare-drive quote near Rs 89,500 needs a very good explanation when factory-heatsink stock exists below it.
Shoppers comparing Gen4 flagships should also see the WD Black SN850X 1TB price in Pakistan and the Kingston KC3000 1TB price in Pakistan before deciding, since both undercut the Samsung at local stores on most days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB good for PS5?
Yes, in its heatsink form. The MZ-V9P1T0CW ships with a factory heatsink that fits the PS5 expansion bay, and its rated 7,450 MB/s read speed is well above Sony’s 5,500 MB/s recommendation. The bare MZ-V9P1T0BW also works if you add a third-party heatsink, but the heatsink model is the cleaner buy.
Why is the heatsink version cheaper than the bare drive at MyShop?
Both prices were live listings at the same store when checked on 1 October 2026. Import batches and old stock often price oddly in Pakistan, and the gap can also close without notice. Confirm the model code and stock on a call before paying, and keep a screenshot of the listing price.
What is the difference between the 990 PRO and the Samsung 980?
The 990 PRO is a PCIe 4.0 drive rated up to 7,450 MB/s with a DRAM cache. The Samsung 980 is an older PCIe 3.0 drive rated at 3,500 MB/s without DRAM. On a Gen4 motherboard the 990 PRO is roughly twice as fast in sequential work; on an older Gen3-only board both are capped near Gen3 speeds.
