hhecla: The Samsung 990 EVO PLUS SSD 2TB uses a PCIe Gen 4x4 or 5x2 interface, while the MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk motherboard supports PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 for its M.2 slots. Although the 990 EVO PLUS is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3.0, it will operate at reduced speeds compared to its full potential on a PCIe Gen 4.0 slot. Therefore, you can use the 990 EVO PLUS SSD with your motherboard, but you may not get the maximum performance out of it. - Samsung Memory
