[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an avid tech enthusiast, I've recently upgraded my system with the Samsung EVO 990 NVMe Drive, and I must say, it's nothing short of phenomenal.
From lightning-fast speeds to rock-solid reliability, this SSD is an excellent addition to any setup.
From lightning-fast speeds to rock-solid reliability, this SSD is an excellent addition to any setup.
First off, let's talk about performance. With read and write speeds that defy expectations, tasks that used to feel like waiting in line at the DMV now breeze by in seconds. Whether it's booting up my system, loading large files, or running intensive applications, the EVO 990 handles it all with ease, thanks to its NVMe technology.
But it's not just about speed; reliability matters too. Samsung's reputation for quality precedes them, and the EVO 990 lives up to the hype. I've put this drive through its paces with countless write cycles, and it hasn't skipped a beat. With Samsung's advanced error correction and endurance-enhancing features, I can trust this drive with my most important data without a second thought.
Installation was a breeze, thanks to the included software and clear instructions. And with Samsung's intuitive management tools, keeping my drive optimized and up-to-date is a cinch.
In conclusion, if you're in the market for a high-performance, reliable SSD that won't let you down, look no further than the Samsung EVO 990 NVMe Drive. It's a game-changer for anyone looking to supercharge their system's storage capabilities.
I would recommend this to a friend!

From, SATA SSD to M.2
on November 14, 2024
Posted by: oddyman09
from Arlington Heights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a SATA SSD, to the 990 Evo plus NVMe m.2... My cold boot time to the desktop was about 30 seconds. The PC now boots in 9 seconds. I play a large open world multiplayer video game as well. Normally to connect and load A server/map would take 4 to 5 minutes. I was loaded and spawned in in about 1 minute with the new drive. It's safe to say my SSD bottleneck is no longer an issue. Setup was a bit tricky, That's no fault of the drive. It was an issue with my main board recognizing the m2 as a bootable device. Once I figured that out, I was able to install Windows from a flash drive in no time flat. This is a great product a great upgrade for PC enthusiasts.

Premium upgrade

from Puryear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a big difference in performance. After installing the SSD my computer runs a hundred times faster. Immediately I noticed the data transfer rate is quicker. There's more power in my PC than ever before. I can run games with ease and not have to worry about bogging down when I play a game that requires more memory.

Powerhouse SSD
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: Darkw0lf1
from Mantachie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a powerhouse of an SSD for a non powerhouse price, with blazingly fast read speeds of up to 7,150 MB/s and write speeds of 6,300 MB/s, as long as your hardware supports it, you will not be left wanting if you purchase this little device. Files move really fast across the device and demanding applications like photoshop and video editing are loaded and used in a snap, I also like the boost file transfer speed, little disappointed though at the file transfer rates, but you can't really go wrong, it's a quality product, do yourself a favor and snatch one of these up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Review:
I recently had the opportunity to test the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe SSD. Here’s my experience after installing it in my PS5.
I recently had the opportunity to test the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe SSD. Here’s my experience after installing it in my PS5.
Installation & Setup:
Installing the Samsung 990 EVO Plus was a breeze. The drive fits perfectly into the PS5’s M.2 slot, and the process was straightforward. If you’ve swapped out SSDs before, this will be a familiar and easy task.
Installing the Samsung 990 EVO Plus was a breeze. The drive fits perfectly into the PS5’s M.2 slot, and the process was straightforward. If you’ve swapped out SSDs before, this will be a familiar and easy task.
Performance:
The advertised read speed for the Samsung 990 EVO Plus is up to 7,150 MB/s. However, after installation, my PS5 clocked the read speed at 6,335 MB/s—slightly slower than my previous WD Black SN850X, which hit 6,541 MB/s. While there’s a small difference in speed, it’s not something I noticed during actual gameplay. Load times remained fast and smooth, with no noticeable lag or stuttering.

While there’s a small difference in speed, it’s not something I noticed during actual gameplay. Load times remained fast and smooth, with no noticeable lag or stuttering.
Price Comparison:
One of the biggest selling points of the Samsung 990 EVO Plus is its price. It’s significantly cheaper than what I paid for my WD Black SN850X 2TB back in February 2023. For gamers looking to upgrade their storage without breaking the bank, this is a great option. The slight drop in speed is more than made up for by the cost savings.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the Samsung 990 EVO Plus. It offers excellent performance at a much more affordable price point compared to other high-end SSDs. If you’re looking for a solid storage upgrade for your PS5 or PS5 Pro, this drive is definitely worth considering.
