990 PRO w/ Heatsink SSD 2TB, PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up To 7,450MB/s for High End Computing, Workstations, Compatible w/ PlayStation 5, MZ-V9P2T0CW

The Samsung 990 PRO 4TB with the built-in heatsink was a huge storage upgrade in my Rog Xbox Ally X. Installation was simple, and the heatsink fits perfectly without blocking anything in the motherboard. Performance-wise, this SSD is extremely fast. I considered using a microSD card instead of this but the the microSD card won’t support AAA games. With this SSD card I have installed multiple AAA games and still have storage room for installing future games. Extremely happy with the investment. The best part is the temperature control. Thanks to the built-in heatsink, the drive stays cool even during long gaming sessions. I haven’t had any thermal throttling or drops in speed. If you need lots of space and top performance for gaming handheld Rog Xbox Ally X—this SSD is definitely worth it. It’s one of the best upgrades. Pros: • Very fast read/write speeds • Built-in heatsink keeps temperatures low • Easy installation • Quiet and reliable • Plenty of storage for modern games and apps Cons: • Higher price than some alternatives, but the performance makes up for it

My PC is about 5 years old now. I purchased an Alien Hardware Aurora r10 at the beginning of the pandemic 2020. It's been running great until recently when I ran out of storage. I went through the tedious task of deleting programs/games I wanted to keep but wasn't using at the moment. In order to download what I wanted to play right now. Us gamers all know that pain, lol. I added an external hard drive but quickly noticed that some of the more complex and demanding games do not play well when downloaded on an external hard drive and just connected with a USB. It makes for buggy and choppy gameplay with constant crashes. I finally decided it was time for an internal hard drive upgrade. This is my first PC and I had no idea what to do. I advise anyone who is PC illiterate like me to make your best friend ChatGPT. It completely helped me through this whole process as far as identifying what product would fit in my PC case and what product was compatible with my PC. It gave me options for different SSDs depending on what I wanted and what I needed. It even walked me through the installation process. All I really needed was more space for my games as well as pictures and videos that I like to save. But I was not expecting the other improvements. I quickly noticed that my PC began to start up with lightning speed. Programs that once took quite a while to boot up now took less than a second or two to start! But the thing that I am most excited about are the download speeds. I have great internet but even so my download speeds have always been slow 20 to 50 Mbps. It would take hours and hours to download things. After installation of this new SSD, download speeds shot up to 700–800+ Mbps!!! I downloaded the new COD BO6 which is over 150 GB in just about 14 minutes. A download like that before the upgrade would have took three to four hours or more! As I've done some reading since, just an SSD upgrade shouldn't have caused such a massive increase in Mbps. My guess is that since I did to a fresh Windows install on the new SSD, that could have cleared up driver issues, background processes, or software that was slowing down my network. That paired with better NVMe performance could be a factor. Either way I'm extremely happy about this upgrade. I would have been happy with just the 2TB of extra space. Next I'll be buying one of these for my sons PS5. A+++

I've used the Samsung 990 PRO Heatsink SSD for about a year and a half in my setup. It appears to be made of high quality materials, featuring an in-house controller with a nickel coating for better thermal management. Supposedly, this drive reaches near max performance with PCIe 4.0 and provides the best power efficiency, though I am not personally measuring the wattage at my wall outlet every second. It is awesome. The value is good for a 1TB drive that hits read speeds up to 7,450MB/s and write speeds up to 6,900MB/s. It is a perfect fit for the PS5 or desktops meeting the PCI-SIG D8 standard. The random read and write speeds are significantly faster than the 980 PRO, which helps with 3D modeling and data analysis. It has RGB LED lights for style, which is helpful because everyone knows red lights make your data move faster. If your computer still feels slow after installing this, the problem is likely sitting in the chair 💺 I recommend using the Samsung Magician software to monitor drive health and keep the firmware updated. This ensures you maintain that top performance without overheating issues 🖥️✨

I bought the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB with heatsink to add fast storage without messing around with aftermarket cooling, and it absolutely delivers. Install was straightforward (standard M.2 2280), and the built-in heatsink is a big plus for tight spaces like the PS5 expansion bay or compact PC builds. Performance feels instant: games load noticeably quicker, large file transfers are snappy, and everything just feels more responsive. The drive also stays stable under heavier use thanks to the heatsink, which helps avoid throttling and keeps performance consistent. Pros Extremely fast PCIe Gen4 performance (great for gaming + heavy workloads) Integrated heatsink = easy, clean install (especially for PS5) Solid build quality and reliability so far Cons Priced at a premium compared to some alternatives You’ll only get the full benefit if your system supports PCIe Gen4 If you want a top-tier NVMe SSD and don’t want to worry about temps, this is an easy recommendation.

Easy install. Works without any issues. Worth every penny. I would purchase again

After installing the SAMSUNG 990 PRO w/ Heatsink SSD 2TB drive, I saw an immediate performance improvement. However, my computer occasionally restarted due to errors and booted from my old 970 EVO secondary drive because the 990 PRO was no longer visible to the system. When this happened, the blue light on the 990 PRO was not illuminated. Powering down the computer and restarting it would restore the 990 PRO as the boot drive, but the error would happen again. I tried moving the 990 PRO to a different M.2 socket, but the problem continued. Eventually, I enabled Full Performance Mode in Samsung Magician's Performance Optimization menu, despite a warning message that it might cause excessive heat and void the warranty. Despite the warning, after changing to Full Performance Mode, Samsung Magician reports that the 990 PRO is running at a normal 37 degrees Celsius. Since enabling Full Performance Mode, I have not had any system lockups, unplanned restarts, or blue screen of death (BSOD) errors. I only had problems when running the Samsung 990 PRO drive in the Standard Mode or Power Saving Mode. I don't know whether the problem is with the drive itself or the Microsoft NVMe Driver in Windows 11, but setting Samsung's Full Performance Mode stops it from happening. I highly recommend these drives as long as they are configured in Full Performance Mode. I hope sharing my experience helps someone else avoid falsely concluding that the Samsung 990 PRO drives are trash due to an easily corrected configuration setting. My Windows 11 Pro system configuration: CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K, GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090, SSD: Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink 2TB (Boot Drive), SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCIe M.2 2TB (Secondary Drive), RAM: G Skill Intl F4-3200C16-16GVK 4x16GB, MBD: Asus PRIME Z790-P WIFI D4.

I bought this for my PlayStation 5 to expand the internal memory. I have been struggling with storage space and was constantly having o try and decide what to remove from my console so I could add another game. I did a fair amount of research and this was one of the more prominently suggested brands to go with. It’s not the cheapest in price but then when compared to others for memory size and speed it is fairly priced with great speed. I don’t get any lag when playing games that are stored on it. It was very easy to install and didn’t require any additional hardware or tools to install. A straight forward m.2 plug in with a single screw. As a solid state drive it makes absolutely no noise when used. Compatible with PS5 internal storage bay. Allows me to more than triple my internal storage for games. A must buy for those who want a nice selection of games installed.

Really fast and no problems at all download are fast just a little too pricey

Works very well and confirm the description
