    I recently upgraded to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD, and it has completely transformed my system’s performance. The installation was straightforward with the M.2 2280 form factor, and my PC recognized it instantly. The advertised speeds of up to 7,150 MB/s are no joke—boot times and game load times are almost instantaneous now. Perfect for gamers, streamers, and anyone who does heavy multitasking. The build quality is excellent as expected from Samsung, and at this price point, it’s an incredible value. Highly recommend this SSD if you want top-tier performance without breaking the bank!

    I picked up the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB to replace an older Gen 3 NVMe drive, and the difference was immediate. Install was painless—slid right into the M.2 slot, detected instantly in BIOS, and was ready to go in minutes. No firmware headaches, no compatibility issues, just worked. Performance is exactly what you’d expect at this tier. Boot times are noticeably faster, large file transfers are consistently quick, and game load screens that used to linger are basically gone. I regularly move large project files and system images, and this drive stays fast even during sustained transfers, not just quick benchmarks. Thermals have also been excellent. Even without an aggressive heatsink, temperatures stay well within safe ranges during heavy use. It’s quiet, efficient, and doesn’t throttle under normal workloads. What really stands out is reliability. I’ve used Samsung SSDs for years in multiple systems, and they’ve always been dependable. This drive feels like a long-term investment rather than a disposable upgrade, which matters when it’s holding your OS and important data. If you’re building a new PC or upgrading an older NVMe, the 990 EVO Plus hits a great balance of speed, stability, and value. It’s not just fast on paper—it’s fast where it actually counts day to day. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

    I recently upgraded to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD and I couldn’t be happier. The installation was simple, and the performance is incredible. With read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s, everything loads almost instantly—whether it’s big games, 4K video files, or heavy software projects.

    I was looking for an internal SSD to replace my 5+ year-old SSD SATA drive that had Windows and a few other programs installed on it. This SSD was an excellent choice! I used Samsung Magician to easily and effortlessly transfer everything over to the new drive and now Windows loads up significantly faster. My pc is performing better than ever!

    Not fully supported by Samsung Magician

    Although I trust Samsung SSDs more than any other brand, I'm disappointed that Samsung Magician does not fully support the 990 EVE Plus with all the Magician features (as of March 2025). Among the Magician features missing for the 990 EVO Plus are "Disk Partitioning" and "Performance Optimization". The 990 EVO Plus isn't even listed in the supported models -- and I have the latest version of the software. This, and the recent failure of my last Samsung SSD (990 Pro 2TB, failed a month after warranty coverage) make me a little more likely to research other options for SSD. I suspect that the Samsung EVO devices, because of their design and lack of onboard RAM, can't support those features. Still, it's disappointing. You gotta partition these large SSDs to keep things organized. I used another partition manager for this. On the plus side, I installed my 990 EVO Plus 1TB in my laptop, and it is ideally suited for this -- low profile, heatsink not needed because it has never exceeded 40*C.

    Samsung is the best memory supplier for Hard Drive solid state alternative in the world. Their reliability is highest in the world. I have used Samsung memory SSD 2.5 Inch drives and M.2 Motherboard storage memory in all my computer builds. They are excellent performance capable drives. These are highly rated in the industry and personally for use by me.

    Bought this to upgrade my HP Laptop Pavillion HDD. And the difference of speed to boot-up and open programs/apps are night and day. So far no issues after install and works great. cloning my old HDD to this amazing SSD went smoothly. I will be purchasing more of these SSD to upgrade my 2 other gaming PCs
