990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 7,450 MB/s for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations, MZ-V9P1T0B/AM

I am using two of these 1TB drives in a custom NAS box I put together running TrueNAS. I have two 12TB HDD drives, two slower SSDs, and two of these great Samsung 1TB NVMe drives. While the majority of my backups are on the mirrored HDD drives, and the TrueNAS boot drives are the SSDs, I use these two Samsung NVMes as a high-performance NVME pool for storing apps, containers, metadata, VMs, databases, and PLEX metadata. This is ideal because the ZFS mirror offers redundancy for critical app data, low latency and high IOPS making it a great place for TrueNAS apps and datasets. These drives are the biggest real-world performance area of my NAS so I use it where speed matters most. The TrueNAS OS and temp jobs/work stay on the SSDs so they don't wear out these NVMes quickly. These drives are nice and fast for PCIe 4.0. They also were a great price at the time because of holiday pricing and they were on backorder for a bit, which caused the price to drop for a week, too. So the value couldn't be beat at the time. Samsung drives like these have never failed me, and some of my M.2 drives get quite a workout on my main desktop build! The only thing I would recommend with these drives is using a third-party heatsink on them that has a fan on it. It keeps these drives nice and cool during high loads. Without them, you run the risk of overheating and heat-related speed throttling, causing your drives to slow down while hot. So keep these drive cool by slapping a $20 M.2 heatsink+fan on there and never worry again! These drives were perfect for my new NAS, or for your next desktop PC drive replacement! They work great and are trouble-free for me so far. I will update if I ever run into any problems with them.

This Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD turned out to be one of those upgrades that quietly changes everything about how the PC feels. The small M.2 stick takes up almost no space on the motherboard, but it adds a huge amount of fast storage that makes the whole system feel cleaner and more modern. For size and storage, the 2TB capacity is a sweet spot. It is small and slim enough to disappear under a heatsink or alongside a big GPU, yet spacious enough to hold Windows, a big game library, and work files without constantly worrying about what to uninstall next. It feels like finally having “breathing room” on the main drive instead of constantly managing space. The design is simple and professional, with no unnecessary bulk or gimmicks—just a clean-looking drive that fits right into any build, whether flashy RGB or a more minimal setup. Day to day, the quality and performance really stand out: the PC boots quickly, games and apps launch almost instantly, and large file transfers finish much faster than before. It feels reliable, fast, and well built, and easily deserves a full five stars.

Samsung's 990 PRO storage is great doing what you ask of it. The speed of the storage is more than I need, and it holds all of the terabytes (4 of them). I used this is my boot drive and that likely helps the rapid boot times, and it hasn't had any connectivity issues in the enclosure. Pros: -Samsung performance, lifespan, and quality -Fast -Huge amount of space (4TB) Cons: -Price hurts a little I like it, I use it, it's invisible in that works so well I don't care about it.

Really blistering fast SSD. I do software development and work with lots of large databases. The 990 PRO shows up and delivers with very low latency and excellent speeds. It's easy to find benchmarks online, from places who can better measure and compare so I'm going to do that here. One aspect I like is the Samsung Magician software, as well as the software they'll give you to transfer data to your new drive. The Magician software is super easy to use and helps you keeping an eye on the SSD, lets you know what temperature it's running at and if the SMART values are OK. It's easy to use and read, no need to be an expert. Let's you update the SSD firmware if there's a new version. It's all-in-one and works extremely well; I can only speak for Windows use here, not Linux or other OS. There have been very few firmware updates.. I remember one when the drive just came to market and there was an issue about longevity rating but that has been fixed long ago. A new drive will already have that fix on them. Just a sturdy product with no surprises. I've ran the 2TB version since it came to market, and added the 4TB one a few months ago. Nothing ever went wrong, and that's why I mostly buy Samsung SSDs.

My expensive workhorse laptop was running very low on the primary drive capacity, needed bigger SSD and after extensive search and reviewing reviews I settled on this one. I bought SSK M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure along with, and the drive came with the cloning sofware. First timer to do this but the whole operation went very smooth, no glitchs. Noticed the the first 99% of the operation went fast but to go to 100% took a bit longer time likely to finsis data and close the cloning operation so be patient for the last 1%. It is faster the the older one, doe not heat up although I did not buy the heat sink with it, Does not disappoint and worth every penny

Really fast

أفضل SSD يمكن امتلاكه .. السرعة و الجودة و التطبيق كل شيء على أعلى مستوى ممكن

Made my games load much faster

hiç bir sorun yaşamadan kullanıyorum 980 pro ve 970 evo plusda mevcut 3-4 yılldır 970 evo plus kullanıyorum o da çok uzun ömürlü aynı şekilde güvendiğim ve kalitesini bildiğim için aldım. pasif soğutmayla beraber mükemmel performans veriyor.

Bought this as a storage upgrade for my PC. Works perfectly and has more than enough storage for your games and software. Boots up my PC in a flash. Also, lasts a real long while which I appreciate.
