[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product 8 months ago for my first pc build. I've downloaded games that take up a lot of storage and yet I still plenty left. Excellent product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an architecture major, omg I needed this! I transferred most of my projects from my tablet that was struggling to perform onto this, and my tablet is practically back to 0 storage used! Installing was easy and super easy to manage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the Samsung 990 EVO is a decent mid-range SSD that offers good performance and flexibility. if you are looking for a good all-around SSD that is compatible with a wider range of systems, the 990 EVO is a solid option.

Easy to Install to External Reader
on March 2, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, PCI-E gen 4 and 5 support in one drive mean it can do the same speed in 2 5.0 lanes as it does in 4 4.0 lanes, meaning as we go forward to newer CPUs and chipsets, this type of drive will transition well and use less resources to do it.
The 5000 MB/s seems low given 10K+ drives exist, but that's the Sequential read speed, rated using ideal conditions. The GREAT majority of stuff we actually DO with computers uses far more Random Access, and those numbers are much lower pretty much across the board. This drive is in the top 3 fastest, hitting over 5000 MB/s in RANDOM reads.
The practical upshot of this is - if you are moving a lot of big files, this drive will be fairly average and get toasted by the fastest drives out there, no question. It wont be SLOW, but it wont be able to move stuff around your PS5 at 7GB/s either.
On the other hand, this will feel like the snappiest drive ever for an OS/data/programs drive. The random read and Overall System numbers in PC Mark are in the top 5 of all consumer M.2 drives out today, in the top 3 for pure random reads. This metric has traditionally been played down if its mentioned at all, because it is SO much lower than the Sequential Read numbers, but it is probably a far better indicator of how a system will "feel" when using the drive for actual work/play/GPs, and this one is extremely good at this.
I have run the PC Mark suite a few times each on Intel 460, 570, and 790, with the 790 using PCI-E 5.0x2, with extremely consistent results.
Easily the best system/general data drive for the price, and its not even a question at this point.

NO EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS OR VIDEO TUTORIAL AVAILABLE
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: jessicap1184
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a while to learn how the 990 EVO 5.0 NVMe SSD 1TB workes, but I was able to add it to my laptop and it has been doing great so far with no significant issues. The biggest problem I ran into while using this is the limited installation information. At first I thought I needed an adaptor for this to work. There were no video tutorials available or explicit directions to walk me through the installation process. I eventually figured it out, but it took far longer than in should have.
