Rock Solid Performance & Great Capacity!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Samsung 990 2TB SSD due to being out of storage and having to uninstall games and other software for new items, So far it has exceeded my expectations and has great Write Speed and Read speeds, Read was bench marking at 7015 write speeds was 5800,
The Samsung Magician app is really cool too because it lets you check the drive health and see exactly how it’s running, it showed me the Host Memory Buffer. Plus, 2TB is a ton of space, so I don't have to delete games to make room for new ones anymore.
I would definitely recommend this product, it does not disappoint

Great value and easy to install and use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was running out of storage for photos, videos, and documents on my phone and computer, so I picked up this SSD to help out. Honestly, it's been super easy to use and all the extra storage was great. All I had to do was plug it in, format it, and it was good to go. Probably only took a few minutes to set up and format, and then a few more minutes to transfer all the files in. Was much faster than expected overall to get everything I wanted done.
I moved about 200 GB of files over and was honestly surprised by how fast it went, even with big folders with lots of photos, videos, and other files.
I would not hesitate to use it for larger backups either, and for the price, I think it's a solid deal and value. I would definitely recommend it for its speed and also seems like it was built well and will be dependable for years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is a huge tech nerd and is always changing things up with my desktop and laptop computers. Recently my laptop started to run very poorly and it turned out my super budget SSD was failing. I don't typically need anything fancy but it was clear that I needed to replace my drive with something more reliable. Hubby offered to put this new 2TB NVME drive in and let me tell you it has been great! It is noticeably faster than my old drive and now I feel like I am in good shape. I use this laptop for both work so I am happy to have something that is under warranty again. Boot up times are much faster and I could not be happier! It looks like I will be pushing him to get me another one for my desktop gaming pc too!

Test: Samsung 990 1TB
on August 12, 2026
Posted by: SSDTester

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put Samsung's SSD (990 1TB) through a thorough test:
According to the manufacturer, the SSD is supposed to have a read speed of 7,150 MB/s and a write speed of 6,450 MB/s.
Based on my tests using AS SSD Benchmark, CrystalDiskMark, and the SSD Tester app (see screenshots), I obtained the following measured values:
Sequential Read: 5,846 MB/s
Sequential Write: 5,118 MB/s
4K Read: 65.5 MB/s
4K Write: 174.97 MB/s
4K 64-Thread Read: 2176.5 MB/s
4K 64-Thread Write: 2684 MB/s
Read Access Time: 0.02 ms
Write Access Time: 0.11 ms
Sequential Read: 5,846 MB/s
Sequential Write: 5,118 MB/s
4K Read: 65.5 MB/s
4K Write: 174.97 MB/s
4K 64-Thread Read: 2176.5 MB/s
4K 64-Thread Write: 2684 MB/s
Read Access Time: 0.02 ms
Write Access Time: 0.11 ms
Naturally, the results look a bit better in CrystalDiskMark:
Seq Read: 7220.5 MB/s
Seq Write: 5650.9 MB/s
4K Read: 69.6 MB/s
4K Write: 191.8 MB/s
Seq Read: 7220.5 MB/s
Seq Write: 5650.9 MB/s
4K Read: 69.6 MB/s
4K Write: 191.8 MB/s
The SSD-Tester score is 12,560 points.
One point deducted because the SSD uses QLC instead of TLC, the write speed drops dramatically after the pSLC cache is exhausted, and it doesn’t even come close to the advertised write speed of 6,450 MB/s.

Solid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is “solid” SSD from a very reputable company. Very reliable with good warranty. This is M.2 so make sure your computer supports this format. Benchmark results show reading speed of 7080MB/s and write speed of 5890MB/s. Plenty fast for pretty much anything. What I am using this for though, is using as external storage. I put this inside USB4 enclosure. The speed drops to about 3700MB/s, but instead I get a portable storage with huge space. Very happy with this set up. The speed stays fast consistently. I haven’t run across any issues. When you’re thinking to make it into portable storage, make sure to get a good quality enclosure. The enclosure is almost as important as the ssd inside.
To sum it up, this ssd is a very fast and reliable, versatile storage option. I couldn’t ask for more.

Fast, Cool, and Still More Than Enough on PCIe 4.0
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: insidergr
from ROUND ROCK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Samsung NVMe drives for years, and this 2TB 990 continues the trend of dependable, no-drama performance. My system already has five older Samsung 980 Pros, so I had a pretty solid baseline for comparison.
CrystalDiskMark results were right where I expected for a fast PCIe 4.0 drive, with sequential performance approaching the advertised 7,250 MB/s reads and 6,450 MB/s writes. More importantly, it feels consistently responsive during large file transfers, game installations, and everyday workloads rather than simply producing a good benchmark screenshot.
Yes, it is PCIe 4.0 rather than PCIe 5.0, but that is perfectly fine for most enthusiast systems. Outside of specialized workloads, the real-world difference is rarely dramatic enough to outweigh the added heat and cost of many Gen 5 drives. This 990 also runs surprisingly cool under my motherboard’s standard M.2 heatsink.
Overall, it is a fast, efficient, and sensible upgrade. Based on my long-term experience with the five 980 Pros already in my system, Samsung remains one of the first brands I consider when I need another SSD.
