Will this work for ps5 storage upgrade
Answered by SamsungJT: 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
I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2xxx and I'm thinking about upgrading the SSD and I'm wondering if this would be a good choice
Answered by Samsungjosh: 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
