Great device I bought for my PlayStation 5 and it's worked flawlessly since installing it 2 months ago. I love how fast it can read and write files to and from the hard drive. I can literally transfer a 150 GB game in maybe 2 mins if not less. I really like the product and am glad I got this one. I didn't know which brand to choose so I just stick to my belief that when in doubt always trust or choose Samsung as a brand because they're the most innovative and make the best products and they didn't miss the mark with this SSD either just like I expected, great quality and advanced product that smoothly runs faster than a bullet when I need it!

Best SSDs ever! I currently have 3 SATA 4tb 870 EVOs, 2 4tb 990 Pro M.2s, and 1 2tb 990 Pro M.2 installed in my pc... I've never had a faster, more responsive system in my life and it was worth every penny. Speaking of pennies, the largest NAND chip manufacturers are throttling their output by half at this very moment, so if you've been looking to upgrade your PC's memory, I would do so ASAP ! Prices are about to follow everything else as of late.... they will be going through the roof!! https://www.pcgamer.com/ssds-are-getting-more-expensive-again-because-the-biggest-nand-supplier-has-throttled-production-to-half-its-previous-output/

It is an evolving product, Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD, as a leader in the data storage market. Replaced it with an old version, immediately getting 2X data transfer speed. The system loaded very quickly, and the whole system transfer was easy. Samsung provides tools, data migration applications with an easy-to-follow manual, and a monitoring application “Magician” on their website. The real-world feel is much closure to the 990 PRO data specification. It is stable, easy-to-use & install, and fast SSD in the market. Instead of waiting for several minutes, just taking several seconds, it is a game changer in the data storage solution.

Upgraded to this 4TB model for video editing and the difference is night and day. Its M.2 2280 form factor offers perfect compatibility with my motherboard setup. The 2,400 TBW endurance rating gives me great peace of mind for heavy workloads. It handles large file transfers and 4K scrubbing with ultra-low latency. The integrated heatsink provides excellent thermals, keeping temperatures low during intense rendering. The massive throughput speeds mean I get maximum PCle 4.0 performance. Plus, the Samsung Magician software makes it easy to monitor drive health and keep the firmware updated. It's a premium investment, but worth every penny for the reliability.

My Husband helped me install the Samsung 990 Pro w/Heatsink into my PC so I can try it out. I was extremely impressed because I use a lot of photo editing software to display some of my creations I make by hand, and this has been able to have the application load without missing a beat. My prebuilt PC had an SSD, but it was ridiculously small with 128gb and was intended only for the operating system but still had some programs installed on it. I would run out of space frequently and the Samsung 990 Pro w/Heatsink worked well with plenty of space for me to use. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for more disk space and faster loading of programs.

My husband and I installed the Samsung 990PRO in our playstation 5. It was super fast and very easy to install. It took us one screw driver and about 2 minutes to install the memory drive into the memory expansion slot. After booting up, the system prompted us to format the stick and it took about 30 seconds. Games transferred quickly to the SSD memory and we had more room on the console to run our favorite games. I’m a big fan of the quality construction and the blazing speeds. The pre installed heat sink was a plus and we didn’t have to put any cooling jelly. I highly recommend the 990 PRO to any gamers out there!

I replaced a 3 year old 512GB drive as my boot drive in my gaming desktop and the speed on this is crazy fast. First benchmark gave me almost 7400 MB/s reads! Writes were at nearly 6900 MB/s! I could tell immediately my rig booted up faster. Game loads were also incredibly fast. The included heatsink with LED is pleasing to look at and is actually visible from my motherboard. The heatsink will be much better than the motherboard shield. I have other Samsung SSDs for storage as well and the magician software helps me track on the health of the drives. Samsung never disappoints on storage devices!

This drive is a piece of junk and Samsung's support for them is even worse. I bought 2 of them for my Alienware R15 system. One for the boot drive and one for the gaming drive. Randomly one or the other drive would just disappear completely from the system until I fully powered it down. If the boot drive disappeared the computer would completely crash. If the gaming drive disappeared I would get booted out of whatever game I was playing. Samsung did attempt to replace the drive after numerous calls, and emails and finally a email to corporate. But it seems that didn't solve the issue. Ended up purchasing a different brand gaming NVME drive and have been rock solid since.

I purchased the SSD to try out in my PS5 and I was not disappointed. PlayStation has a list of requirements for an SSD to be capable of handling PS5 games and the 990 Pro easily surpassed all of them. Read speeds were excellent and far beyond what was recommended and I didn’t suffer any problems such as lag or errors when using this SSD. I can easily recommend this SSD for gaming or even in computers. I transferred several games from my internal drive to the Samsung and even though they were several hundred gigs the transfer went through within a couple of minutes which far exceeded my expectations.

Wow. What a great component to add to my computer. I ended up putting it in a older desktop with PCIe 3 versus gen 4. The first thing I noticed was the weight. The heatsink is dense and heavy. It dissipates the heat extremely well. The performance is great although I am not able to run at full capacity until my new PCIe 4 computer is finished. I used Samsung's Magician software to control and run the performance numbers. I used the data migration function of the Magician software and it was seamless. The led features of the heatsink make this a gamer's dream to finish off the perfect build.

I swapped out my old NVMe SSD with the Samsung 990 Pro with a heat sink. The difference was striking. My laptop was booting faster and running quieter as the fan was not going as much as before. Installing it was simple. The only hassles I had were getting the back of my laptop off (which, for some reason, is always a pain) and transferring the OS from the old hard drive to the new one. For some reason, the transferring software had difficulty recognizing the Samsung SSD. But once it was installed and the OS transferred, my laptop was a more enjoyable experience. Definitely worth getting.

I've had the Samsung 990 Pro SSD with heatsink for two months now, I have been really satisfied with this SSD. I use it as an OS drive but also for gaming, my computer now boots up super fast and the game loading screens don't take eternity like it used to. I got the heatsink version because my only m.2 slot is under my graphics card on my motherboard, so I was concerned that it might overheat. The heatsink keeps the temperatures in a good range so I don't have to worry about it. I'm using it with a PCI-e 3.0 motherboard, since I haven't upgraded my system yet, it works great with backwards compatibility. I haven't had any problems with it. I recommend it to those looking for a good SSD.

If I didn't have a 980 as well to compare frequently, this would likely be 5 stars. But I feel that the heatsink is sort if a waste and really doesn't do much. The computer is a bit older and has more firepower in it's hardware because it is for 3d design, so maybe it isn't the heatsink as much as more powerful hardware in a slightly older computer, but on the other side of the coin I definitely feel like it's a once you need heatsink, you need a newer cpu or other hardware or a new computer, and heatsink isnt going to fix that sort of relationship. I still feel that the 980 is top on the market while the 990 is a close second. But if I get another one I don't see a reason for heatsink tbh.

I am using this Samsung 990 Pro solid state drive with my PS5 and the installation took about 3 minutes. Once the drive was installed, the formatting took about a minute, and then another minute to transfer an 80GB file from one hard drive to the new one. In under 10 minutes I doubled the size of the storage I had available and can now add additional games and content to my machine. It seems that now that I transferred the game to the new Samsung Pro 990 drive, it loads slightly faster than before. Overall I'm very happy with this drive and look forward to the extra space and increased speed!

I'm using the 2TB 990 PRO with the heatsink installed, I’ve spent a lot of time recently tweaking my settings and hardware to get the smoothest experience possible for my games, and swapping to the Samsung 990 PRO was the best decision I’ve made for my rig. ​The difference in load times is honestly night and day—I’m getting into matches faster than ever, and I’ve had zero issues with stuttering or lag, even during long gaming sessions. I was also really impressed by how well it handles heat; my system stays stable and cool even when I’m pushing it hard. It’s been rock-solid reliable, which is exactly what I need!! If you're on the fence about upgrading your storage, DO IT!!. It’s a game-changer.

I changed my previous SSD to the Samsung 990 PRO w/ Heatsink PCIe ® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 1TB for a month now and I am loving the experience. Windows is loading up so quickly and the games and programs I am running are loading up so quickly and smoothly. Saving and editing big 4k video files stored on it is also so smooth and quick than on my previous Lexar SSD drive I was using which was making my work consume so much time and causing me to become frustrated with it while working. Now I feel like I'm working on quantum speeds thanks to the Samsung 990 PRO w/ Heatsink PCIe ® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 1TB

I got this SSD to install in a PS5. The 990 Pro with heatsink worked perfectly. It was a fairly easy install once the cover gets removed. It fits very well with the heatsink attached to it. Once installed, the PS5 recognized it and formatted it. It now shows the full 1TB available. Now I can finally update my games. Performance: It showed that the max speed was over 6500MB. The loading times are no different than the built in storage. The games run smoothly as normal. I really recommend this upgrade for any PS5 since the built-in storage only gives you about 660GB of usable storage.

The best yet! This is my second nvme drive from Samsung and it keeps getting better and better. I use it as my boot drive and let me tell you that my pc starts up incredibly fast. If I have to access any files on that drive, there is absolutely no wait times. I can use multiple windows open and access them with no worries. I also love the fact that if you download the Samsung magician software, you update it to the latest firmware and even customize the led light on the drive as well. It also matches my pc colors with the red and black design on the drive. Very happy with it and I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone that is looking for a top tier nvme drive that is not only fast but reliable.

I purchased a 2Tb 980 Pro Ssd when I purchased my laptop. I decided I needed more space when I noticed how much space my Audii Books were taking, so I shopped around and picked up the 4tb 990 Pro w/heatsink while it was on sale. I'm already upset I didn't but at least 1 more, as the amount of data we create only gets larger each year. I did have to remove the heatsink to fit the drive in my Samsung laptop, but I just put the older 980 Pro inside it. Makes for a safer portable backup that way. The 980 Pro was fast. This 990 Pro is visibly faster when copying files. I'd recommend it to anyone in need of saving their data and doing it quickly. If submit a photo, but who wants to see a pocus of a laptop? Lol!

Bought this for my PS5 Pro and it works beautifully. Installation is as easy as easy gets. Took maybe 30 seconds. Once installed, you turn the PS5 on and it walks you through the rest automatically. Games run lightning fast, as fast if not faster than the stock SDD the PS5 comes with. I've played extensively for the last few months and have had no issues whatsoever. PS5 doesn't get any hotter than it did before the extra drive was installed, which never got hot to begin with. Very happy customer here. If you're looking to upgrade your PS5 hard drive, this is as good as it gets.

I purchased a 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe with Heatsink for my PS5 and it has been excellent! I got it back in December 2024 and it hasn't given me a single issue. I got it with the Heatsink because I already knew it was going to see a lot of use, I play frequently and have a lot of games. Currently sitting at over 80% capacity used and it still performs efficiently. It doesn't throttle or slow down performance, even on long play sessions. Speed and performance have been consistently excellent. On initial setup, the speed test showed just under 6,600MB/s speeds for my PS5. I've been playing games as demanding as cyberpunk or elden ring and they all play as if they were installed internally, no issues whatsoever.

A couple months ago, I was looking to upgrade my gaming laptop from 2018 and this surely did the trick. It now runs 3x faster than it did before, and doesn't overheat either! It's amazing for gaming. I can't even believe it's even the same laptop honestly. It was also very easy to set up. I cloned over my HDD, plugged it in and it was ready to go! The Samsung Magician app is not required, but it makes it very easy to see your SSD's health and stats. I really wish I bought more than one lol I love it so much. I would love to upgrade more PC parts from Samsung in the future!

My Experience with the 2 TB Samsung SSD The 2 TB Samsung SSD is undoubtedly an exceptional investment for anyone looking for superior storage performance and unwavering reliability. From the moment I installed it, the difference in the speed of my system was staggering. Start-up times were drastically reduced, and applications, even the most demanding ones, are opened and operated with a fluidity that I could only dream of before.In short, if you are looking to power your computer with a solid state drive that offers speed, great capacity and peace of mind knowing that your data is secure, the 2 TB Samsung SSD is an outstanding choice that will exceed your expectations. It is an update that is really worthwhile.

I really enjoyed boost in speed was definitely obvious. Especially once I got the PlayStation 5 pro and put it in that system, it really helped the game and the frame rate. Everything everything was moving so much smoother, so much faster. And so that's why I am interested in getting a new one. And I highly suggest that u choose the Samsung sSD with heat sync, gotta have the heat sink this time. I warm and go with the newest and I don't know if they can go above 2 gigs or 4, but I hope I could have a 4 gig 1 installed. That would be really nice, but 2 would be fine.

I am looking at getting a separate thunderbolt 4 SSD enclosure so i can take advantage of the full speed this drive can produce. The drive was easy to format, has managed heat well, and has been rock solid in regards to usage and stability. Huge fan of the Samsung line of SSD's and this one is currently sitting at the top of all of them that i have used and tried.

This is a great SSD! The speeds are blazing fast so you get short loading times in games ans also if you're moving big file sizes. It will work with any modern CPU from the last few years as well, which is a good thing! You have pretty good storage size options depending on your budget and needs as well! The heatsink does a great job at keeping it cool even under demanding tasks! And the new Samsung magician app has an easy to use interface where you can update the firmware, check the health and also the temps of the SSD! All in all it's a great product!

I have used the Samsung Evo 990 Pro 4TB SSD and I have to say this is, if not the best ssd for gaming and it is super speedy. This beast can last you years of daily use before wearing down and the transfer speeds are really fast rather than normal ssds (I always get an average of 5GBps lowest speeds on heavy transfers and 7GBps for basic stuff) and those that are made for gaming and file transfer, with this SSD Samsung has absolutely won out every other SSD you can get for this price range. I would recommend anyone this SSD for gaming and it basic uses.

I upgraded to the 990 PRO NVMe with the heatsink, and it’s been nothing short of impressive. The installation was straightforward, and my system recognized it immediately. Speeds are exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier drive—blazing fast load times for games, super quick file transfers, and smooth performance when working with larger projects. The built-in heatsink does its job well; temps stay under control even during long gaming sessions or when pushing heavy workloads. The white packaging is just the box, but the drive itself looks clean and premium once installed. Note: It’s definitely on the pricier side, but if you’re building a performance-focused PC or need reliable storage for demanding tasks, this drive delivers without compromise.

The quality of Samsung memory strips is generally considered guaranteed, especially for products with original particles. Quality and workmanship: Samsung memory strips often use original particles, with solid workmanship and regular PCB board wiring. Compatibility and stability: Compatibility problems are usually not encountered during the upgrade process and can be normally recognized by the device. If large-scale software is run for a long time, there will be no blue screen or crash situations, and the stability is relatively good.

Super easy to install in my PS5. Removing the cover(s) of the PS5 made me aware of the fact that you need to vacuum and/or blow out the dust from time to time. :| The system recognized the 990 pro immediately upon starting. Formatting was very quick and seamless. I now have an extra 2tb and don’t need to remove games when I download a new one or have to perform a large update. Loading times seem to be comparable to system storage. So far so good. Quite pleased with my purchase. Now I wish I would have splurged for the 4tb. :/

The Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink is a work of art. The heatsink has the lines of a Lamborghini and the actual drive has the performance to match. Integrate the 990 Pro with the Samsung Magician software and you have a complete solution. I was hesitant to buy at first with the initial reports of quick degradation of life expectancy. Samsung responded quickly, finding the cause was the firmware. My drive came with the latest firmware and so far so good. I had hoped it would fit in my new top end 2023 laptop. However the heatsink is substantial and it would not physically fit. Note; very few laptops can accommodate a SSD NVMe with heatsink, just too much real estate. I put the drive in one of my desktops, running an I7 with 64 Gb of memory. The drive is a performer!

Upgrading from an old 2.5 SATA Samsung drive to the Samsung 990 PRO with a heatsink has been a huge improvement. The difference in speed is night and day boot times, app launches, and file transfers are all way faster now. The 4TB capacity gives me plenty of space, and the heatsink keeps the drive cool under load. Overall, this SSD has made my system feel so much more responsive and snappy. If you're still using a 2.5 SATA SSD, this is a solid upgrade that’s definitely worth it for the performance boost.

The Samsung 990 pro 1TB installs easily and looks sleek and well built! The speed on this drive is fast and efficient, I can pull start the computer to the login screen in less than 10 seconds. I can pull up video content to edit and rewrite at very fast speeds. I have had no errors in any of the data . The heat sink that is preinstalled on this drive should keep it cool and make it last a long time. When using this make sure to get the full benefit of the speeds by installing on a 16x port. Happy Gaming!

Have it installed in my PS5 for almost 2 years now. The red & black heatsink design with RBG lighting is a badads futuristic design that belongs in a pS5 or PC. Not only I have more storage, I notice its faster than the PS5's ssd internal storage.🤯 I've be playing Bo6 and Gran Turismo 7 during long game sessions I haven't notice a single stutter nor lag it. For those who are in the market for an storage upgrade for their PS5 or PC I highly recommend to choose a Samsung SDD storage over the competitors.

I installed this on my desktop that had a previous SSD, I thought I was getting fast performance. But it wasn't until I installed the Samsung 990 Pro that I really got a taste for performance. It was night and day, booting up was instantaneous, opening my day to day office applications were a breeze, I could load PDFs and large documents in a snap, this is huge for work from home. As I depend on my workstaion to do all my day to day, and having this speed is amazing. I can multi task and run all the demanding applications with out being worried about loading or slow operation. I had my husband do a speed test and I could not believe the massive read and write improvement over my old SSD drive. I would highly recommend this NVMe drive to anyone looking truly unlock their computers potential.

I grew tired of having to play what amounts to musical chairs with the games installed on my Playstation 5, buying the 990 PRO w/ Heatsink (if you are buying an SSD expansion for the PS5 the heatsink is necessary) was a great idea. I have been able to enjoy having more games installed and not having to uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall games when I choose to play something different. The speed in loading, moving, copying or otherwise moving game files around is also tremendously fast.

Was a tech in the Marines, worked for Perot, IBM & Dell. Been evaluating Microsoft software for almost 30 years - and have built & support all the computers (gaming & other) my family use, all over the world. The Samsung 980 & 990 Pro series are always my #1 recommendation when helping someone or doing a build. They're fast, reliable and have great apps & support. Nit sure why I would ever switch. As a disabled Marine Vet, I will still insist on these products - whenever I can afford them!

The Samsung 990 PRO 4TB with Heatsink is hands-down one of the best SSDs out there. Yeah, it’s pricey — but honestly, with how fast and reliable it is, it’s totally worth it. Whether you're gaming, editing videos, or just want your PC or PS5 to run buttery smooth, this drive delivers. It’s super fast, stays cool, and built to last. In today’s economy, spending a bit more upfront for something that won’t let you down just makes sense. If you want speed and peace of mind, this is the one

This is the fastest snappiest SSD I have ever used! The little red light on the device also feeds my inner edge lord. I have found that the Samsung magician app is also very helpful for diagnostics and drive info. DO NOT USE BITLOCKER WITH THIS. The drive supports hardware encryption which is faster, more secure, but a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE pain to set up once you start using the drive. So don't do as I did and have to reimage your machine. Set up encryption before doing anything else.

I wanted an external storage PS5 upgrade that would carry me to the next level. So I impatiently waited for the Samsung SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink (4TB) to drop into my price range. It's been about a year and it's here. The upgrade was everything I was looking for. Easy to install, instant results and honestly no trouble at all to get in and get going fast. Now my PS5 has major storage and can store larger games with no worries on how much space is left on my internal storage.

I play alot of VR games and already had an older samsung nvme drive so I was skeptical it was going to make a difference but I was wrong! Got it installed and configured and moved all of my PC vr games over to it and wow load speeds are so much quicker! At least 20 seconds. I would also get stuttering when loading certain games but this seems to have helped resolve almost all of that! I love the red heatsink as well. I also did a complete review video be sure to check it out.

The storage device offers impressive read and write speeds, making it ideal for demanding tasks. However, it's important to consider the potential for overheating during extended use. Fortunately Samsung has already included proper cooling solutions that have proven beneficial for maintaining optimal performance levels. Ultimately, it provides excellent storage capacity, with top tier speeds at an affordable price and the best ease of use seen to date with Samsung Magician.

This drive is exceptional, prompting me to purchase a second unit.

They have accommodated the entirety of my game library. To the best of my knowledge, these drives have substantially reduced the loading times of my games. Overall, this product is remarkable, and I would undoubtedly purchase another unit once the need arises.

Works great! I've never had a problem with any Samsung product. From phones to SD cards to SSD's. You get what you pay for, most of the time. I'm not sure that I needed the heatsink on a 4.0 but the next gen 5.0 is going to need then for sure. If you can afford the 2TB get it! Even if you don't think you'll need it. It has an extra gig of DRAM, and for day to day use you will notice all those 500 meg to over 2 gig file transfers you do are almost instantaneous..

Have used this installed onto my PS5, but I’m really looking forward to pairing an 8TB SSD with these reading & writing speeds instead! I have no complaints from using this for additional capacity collecting video games cache data. Every game loads files/data symmetrically, fairly symmetrically when playing respectively online, and correctly every time. No other brand’s do I trust to house memory with Sony: Samsung does it right & better every time!

I am content with the performance of my C drive. It operates swiftly, and its 2TB capacity is ideal for running virtual machines with virtual disks stored on the drive. I am highly pleased with the Samsung 990 Pro as my system drive. However, I encountered a minor issue as my motherboard has its own SSD heatsinks, and the drive could not fit with the factory heatsink installed. Therefore, I had to remove the heatsink to ensure proper fitment.

The performance has been consistently fast and stable, especially when handling heavy workloads and large media files. Installation was simple, temperatures stay reasonable, and the overall responsiveness feels excellent compared to older SSDs I’ve used before. So far, it has been one of the most reliable and impressive storage upgrades in my setup.

Honestly, it's a samsung SSD. Yes you pay a hefty price, but along with that price, you get a lot of great things. Top notch performance you'd expect from a high end storage device. Able to store a lot of games (not all, but quite a few) and load them at speeds faster than anything else out there. Haven't had issues with it. Just make sure you download and run the magician software to update the firmware at least once and you're good to go.

BF6, RE4, COD, AC all cruise without so much as a hiccup for hours on end. No overheat, no wear heatsink keeps the drive cool. The read wrote is blazing fast and loading screens?

Best bang for a buck if you think 9100 is too expensive or not compatible with your system. This ssd has great speed and works flawlessly for heavy programs and games. And with 4tb storage, you can save all of the games that you'll probably only play once or even forget you have on your conputer. I have 2 of this 4tb and one of 980 pro and my PC is running smoothly and the ssd stays cool with all programs and games. Highly recommended.

Well priced when I got it, very fast, very reliable and long lasting of course it has good storage, I love the features in the software. Only complaints are that there is less support for the amd platfrom and the heatsink has an untoggleable red led which is a nuisance for me but may not matter to others. As far as thermals, this one comes with its own heatsink but id rather have one than not, its got a very strong style.

Bought this when it first came out. It failed to initialize, and would not format properly. Returned for replacement, and the 2nd one functions as advertised - maybe even a bit faster. Overalls, I'm happy with the product, but it would be nice if the manufacturer tested them individually. Heat sink "sticky tape" needs work.. Seems to be a poor heat transfer method... Needs a wire clip and good old paste heat-sink dope.

Samsung computer RAM and SSD hard drives are the only brand that I will use with all of my laptops. Having said that, the Samsung 990 Pro SSD will not physically fit in the 2 - Gen III M.2 SSD hard drive slots in the HP EliteBook 17G6 Mobile Workstation due to size constraints. I just tried last night, so I went with the 990 Pro (no heatsink) X 4TB in both M.2 slots with a 4TB EVO SSD drive in the SATA open bay.

My games load quickly, and the installation and setup processes are efficient. I have not observed any issues with drive overheating, as temperatures consistently remain around 40 degrees Celsius. While 4 terabytes is a substantial capacity, the increasing size of modern games suggests that this may become a limiting factor in the future. The drive has been consistently detected upon every system startup.

I've been using the Samsung 990 PRO for my PlayStation 5 for the past 2 weeks and it's been very good. Installation Installation was super easy. The 990 PRO comes with a heatsink already installed (!!). I just opened up the PS5 by sliding the backplate back, used a screwdriver to open up the panel that holds the SDD and popped the 990 PRO in. It was as simple as that and took a total of 2 minutes. Formatting Just boot up the PS5 and was prompted to format the SSD. This process took 30 seconds. Performance This thing is blazing fast, with 700mb/s read and write speeds, all my files transferred over quickly. I was able to run all my PS4 games without any issues or lag. Note that PS5 games cannot be run from the SSD due to PS5's restriction. Overall I'm super happy with the product. It was easy to install and it just worked. I would recommend the 990 PRO to all my gamer friends!

I have one in my Asus ROG without the heatsink and one with the heatsink in my PS5. They're read and write times are extremely fast, my ROG came with a very capable SSD but the 990 pro blows it out of the water with no other SSD coming close to its capabilities. The one in my PS5 is unmatched when it comes in gameplay, storage, and how fast data writes to it. Easily the best SSD on the market right now

1st choice for anyone who wants both speed and storage muscle! The heatsink helps manage thermal throttling under sustained loads quite well, just ensure that you have adequate ventilation in your system. This is excellent for gamers as it delivers fast load times. Its also ideal for large storage for photo or video editing as the heatsink again keeps the card running cool = fast read/write speeds.

Great product! Installed it on my new PC Build and it works perfectly. Computer immediatedly recognized it! The added heatsink is definately a plus and works great. Capacity of the drive is a must for a gaming computer. Considering I alreay had 2 HDD another Samsung 1 TB SSD pre-installed I figured 2TB would do for me. Recommend it to anyone building any computer or simply looking for an upgrade.

This drive is a lot faster than the Samsung EVO drives. It’s great that it came with a heat sink as my motherboard did not come with one. Computer boots up slightly faster and so do games. Transferring data from this hard drive is extremely fast. Samsung Magician made transferring my OS with the apps a breeze. I would recommend this SSD to anyone wanting looking for a lightning fast gaming SSD.

Picked this up several months ago now. Running it as my boot drive along side another EVO 980 2TB(my previous boot drive) I've built a few pcs in the past few years and have always gone with Samsung for ssd drives. With this 990 my boot up is like 5-7 seconds. Playing games my load times are almost non existent. Looking forward to the next step in the EVOs evolution as well for future builds.

I decided it was time to upgrade the storage of my PS5. After considering many of the options out there, I settled on this drive. It was on sale when I decided to purchase it and I can say that I'm absolutely ecstatic that I bought this drive. It was easy to install and runs so much cooler than my other drive from WD. If need to upgrade your PS5 storage, then this is the SSD you need to get.

Bought it when I updated to Windows 11. 4 TB was probably excessive but wanted to have the largest capacity possible. Gen 4 is pretty snappy and works well with Samsung Magician. Issues regarding SSD health seems to be resolved since the last firmware update. Was worried about temps so got the heatsink version and glad I did cause temps have ranged from 25 to highest around high 40s low 50s.

It was great until it outright crashed and messed up my whole PC. had it installed for about a year and never had any problems. One day I played a game for about 2 hours and then walked away. When I came back my computer was on bios because my boot device was not listed. It just died out of nowhere, and no I did not have heat issues. No part of my PC ever went over 35 degrees celsius.

This device does exactly as it states in its description, just put the 4tb heatsink in my playstation 5 and it boots up and loads my games even faster than the original ssd does.slotting it in is extremely easy as its a nvme so a simple screw and you're done. The heatsink is perfect size as it does not interfere with putting the cover back on. All and all definitely worth its money!

I have been very happy with thr 990 pro which provides the best bang for thr buck amd eye watering performance. Transferring large files and game load times are noticeably faster. I also liked the Samsung magician software. I have the heatsink model and the temps always stayed below 80C Also the firmware has been fixed with these newer ssds that was causing premature degradation

I originally had the 990 Pro without the heatsink and required a third party one and it has worked great on my PC but I prefer when SSD's can be purchased with one because they tend to work a lot better. The heatsink has a nice visual style with an RGB light. It's Thermal Guard design has excellent thermal management. It's optimized for graphically demanding games and the newer controller gives us the highest speed available, faster loading times, great reliability and good power efficiency. Testing the Read\Write speeds do come to the noted 7450\6900 mb/s, respectively. And it is a huge difference from the 980 Pro which is still a great SSD and I still own some and continue to buy them for any less demanding devices. I use my PC for gaming, graphic designing, and editing videos and images and I always want the best components available. I highly recommend the 990 Pro w/Heatsink. Innovation at its best!

Got this guy to replace some older storage on my gaming build. Went with a PCIe 16x by NVMe adapter to make the install seamless and painless. Booted right up the first time no issue and testing 6546MB/s on Read and 6033MB/s on Write which is leaps and bounds faster than all my other storage. Using this drive for all my OBS recordings and haven't had any issues, very happy :)

Games are so huge nowadays I had to buy some more space for my PS5. After doing my research I came to the conclusion that the Samsung 990 pro 2 TB with heat sink was the best. Then I ended up buying another one to put in my PC. I couldn't be happier with the performance I am getting out of them. Not only does Samsung make the best TVs they also make the best NVMe SSD's.

The Samsung 990 Pro 1Tb SSD with Heatsink is a devastatingly fast SSD that promises to continue to stay fast even for prolonged usage due to the Heatsink integration. Heatsink keeps the SSD from overheating similar to how a radiator keeps a car engine from overheating. I haven't used it enough to definitively know if heatsink works but I would assume that it does. I ran some read/write tests and though it did not hit the 7,000 MBs/s, the read was 1,818 MBs/s and the write was 2,248 MBs/s. There are probably other factors that come into play. It is definitely faster than my Kingston SSD which managed 1,267 MBs/s read & 544 MBs/s write. You can see the measurement benchmarks in one of the photos attached. The SSD itself has a nice form factor with an LED light that illuminates which adds to the light show (see picture). Overall, this is a solid drive and further proof as to why Samsung is the world leader in SSDs.

I Brought the 2tb version for asus rog G14. I had gor the 4060 base variant only had 512 gigs of storage... wanted to upgrade anf this was the best choice. Comparing to crucial the samsung one gives me higher speed rates.( Brought it also for comparison) the Heatskin is the major deal and also the offer currently running is a better deal to grab over the market.

The drive randomly disappears from system (BIOS). Been sent in once and firmware updated, drive wiped. Worked for 3 week and repeated the same issue. A few hard reboots and the drive showed up again. Wouldn't trust this as a main drive for an operating system with any size TB as it appears it's an issue that Samsung thinks is fixed with it's latest firmware.

This is an excellent SSD that I installed into my PlayStation 5. It has given me no trouble and it's definitely faster than the internal PS5 SSD. For me two terabytes was enough along with the 875 GB that came with the PS5. I know this will last a long time I believed I'm going out on a limb here but past the life expectancy of the PS5 most definitely.

Couldn't be happier. Truly. Memory was easy to install, I trust the Samsung Brand and it has performed extremely well in my PS5. Consoles need memory that runs efficient, fast, and low-heat - this lives up to that standard! Looking back, I wish I had bought the 2TB now! LOL... I forget how much space these games and their updates require over time!
