[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 990 Pro SSD has exceptional speed, reliability, and performance, making it a top choice for gamers and professionals alike. I appreciate its impressive read and write speeds, which significantly enhance loading times for games and applications. The installation and integration was seamless. Despite my concerns about overheating and firmware updates, my overall experience is that this SSD offers great value for its performance and storage capacity
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 2 TB capacity is great. I've heavily used it in 2 different laptops now and had no compatibility problems with either for video, photo and game storage, both as a main and 2nd drive and even after over a year of use the SMART data still says it has 99% of its drive life. Its not the fastest drive but it still easily manages gigabyte plus speeds in real world scenarios.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazingly fast, stays cool, & plenty of space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a huge fan of the Samsung EVO line of NVMe's and have beeb using them for several years now, including the bew 990 EVO. The 990 EVO supports the M.2 2280 form factor and is NVMe (so full PCIe speed) which means plug-and-play for modern motherboards.
Power efficiency: According to reviewers, the 990 EVO delivers “enhanced power efficiency, reportedly up to 70% better than the 970 EVO Plus.” For laptop users or machines where heat/power budget matter, that’s a win.
Reliability & brand: As with all Samsung “EVO” drives, you get a 5-year warranty and solid support/tooling (eg. Samsung Magician software for firmware updates, drive health).
Its a great drive for everyday use and easily handles tasks such as Booting, OS loads, game loads, and had amazingly fast general responsiveness... this drive will absolutely deliver at that level with no hiccups.
Its a great drive for everyday use and easily handles tasks such as Booting, OS loads, game loads, and had amazingly fast general responsiveness... this drive will absolutely deliver at that level with no hiccups.
One thing to note is that The 990 EVO (and its Plus variant) uses two PCIe 5.0 lanes (x2) or four PCIe 4.0 lanes (x4) in compatible systems. The practical upshot: even though it advertises “PCIe 5.0 support”, you’re basically getting PCIe 4-class bandwidth unless under very specific conditions. If you’re using it in a board with full PCIe 5.0 x4 lanes (or expect extremely high sustained write speeds) this might matter, but in most cases shouldn't be an issue.
Read/Write speeds are blazing fast with ~5000mb read/write...there are obviously drives which exceed this, but at speeds this quick, you'll hardly notice any difference.
1TB is plenty of space, but get as much as you can afford. I have 8TB of SSD in my PC across 3 NVMe and I'm still coming close to maxing that out with all the games I play...most folks may not need nearly that, but games are getting bigger and bigger and some of mine (COD) take up almost 200GB each.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spacious, fast, and reliable. Buy it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent performance. Windows loads instantly from cold boot, and large games like Battlefield 6 load instantly. Was easy to install a fresh copy of Windows 11, and was fairly quick to get up, and running. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a spacious drive, great indurance, and excellent speed. Can't beat a Samsung SSD. Hands down the best.
