- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 5000 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 4200 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: M.2 2280
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen 4 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: What type of interface does this SSD use?
A: The 990 EVO SSD is compatible with both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 interfaces.
Q: What is the maximum read and write speed of this SSD?
A: This SSD boasts read and write speeds of up to 5,000/4,200 MB/s.
Q: Will it work with PCIE 3.0?
A: Yes, you will not get the advertised speeds but still relatively fast.
Q: Will this work for ps5 storage upgrade
A: JT: The 990 EVO is not recommended for the PS5. The EVO is a Gen 5 and the PS5 does not favor Gen 5. Also, the PS5 includes Gen 4 M.2 bays and Gen 5 SSDs are not backwards compatible with Gen 4 bays. The 990 PRO is most compatible with the PS5. The 990 PRO is designed for tech enthusiasts, hardcore gamers and heavy-workload professionals who want blazing fast speed. More than 55% improvement in random performance enables faster loads for an ultimate gaming experience on PS5 and DirectStorage PC games. - Samsung Memory
A: josh: Yes, the Samsung 990 EVO SSD is a potentially good choice for your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2xxx, but it will be limited to PCIe Gen 3 speeds because your PC's M.2 slot is only Gen 3, meaning you won't get its maximum advertised performance. The 990 EVO still offers good performance, especially for gaming, and is compatible with your system. However, a PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSD like the Samsung 980 would be a more cost-effective alternative if you want to stay within the capabilities of your motherboard. - Samsung Memory

Not a stick of gum!
This nifty little M.2 SSD has served me phenomenally as a boot drive, and works really well for storing bulky programs that I need to have up and running quickly. Installs with little effort, and runs smoothly. If you have multiple slots available to you, consider snagging yourself a few of these for some extra storage.
