I had already purchased a few of these, and so far, they have been great for Windows 11 replacement devices. They are fast and easy to install.

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.

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.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1 TB is a solid choice for those needing fast, efficient, and dependable storage—whether for gaming, content creation, or daily computing. While it may not beat flagship SSDs in every metric, it consistently delivers real-world speed and low temperatures. If you prioritize peak performance or heavy sustained workloads, the 990 Pro or other DRAM-equipped PCIe 4.0/5.0 drives might be a better fit.

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

Samsung has always made quality SSD products and the 990 EVO PLUS is no exception. I bought it for an external dock for my Mac mini to have extra local storage. Being connected via the thunderbolt connector, it's super fast for both reading and writing. Not really much more that I can ask for!

Put this 990 Evo in a budget HP laptop that originally had an HDD in it. Boot speed is so much faster! Turning laptop on before took about 5 minutes plus to get up and running, after installing this it is up and running in less than 30 seconds. Definitely worth the money

Most bang for the buck SSD (at least in the 1TB category), not to mention the brand with the best reputation for flash products. This is DRAM-less, but as long as your PC has enough RAM, the HMB tech it uses keeps it plenty fast.
