Great price gor the product. Install was easy and the ssd worked immediately with no issues. It has plenty of storage and very fast for the price.

I really thought that this would a difficult install.( I don't know why I thought that.) But as simple as taking it oout of the box and screwing in a high-tech lightbulb. The SSD card is the only thing in the box. I installed in my desk-top PC, that aleady has 1 terabytes of storage in it. Fortunately, my PC had an extra SSD slot, so the whole process was painless, and almost instantaneous. It is pretty self explanatory and I would think that if you're looking at this particular piece of tech, that isn't your first foray into the world of PC builds. But if it is, i would like to share with you , just how easy it was for my to install this. First: I unplugged my PC and then pressed the power button for 15 seconds( to make sure that all of the power out of the system.) That is a very important step. I then, loosen the screw in the back of my PC. Then pulled the tab and released the side paneling. I then. located the extra SSD slot right next my original SSD. Removed the screw in the new slot, and carefully placed the new one in to the slot and gently place the screw back in place. Be sure tonot make it too tight. Don't use power tools. Once you've replaced the side paneling and plugged your PC back in, go to disk management and configure your new SSD. If you are replacing the old one.make sure that you back your memory unto an external drive to re-install. I definitely think it'dworth it. It can also be used to to replacce that meagar PS5 memory. But the toturial is on Youtube.

Great boot drive with extra space for all your games (or 2 call of duty’s aha) fast enough for PS5 if you aren’t a PC gamer.

The Samsung 990 Evo Plus features up to 7,250 MB/s read speeds and 6,300 MB/s write speeds across a PCIe 4.0x4 or PCIe 5.0x2 system. I used the 2TB model and found that while these may be “peak” read/write speeds, in reality you will likely get less on average, but that really isn’t saying much since it is still blazingly fast. I initially tested the SSD in my PC before ultimately moving it to my PS5. I had to get a separate heatsink for the SSD before it could go in the PS5, which was easily attached and was installed in the system in just minutes. On the PS5, I started by transferring just over 1.5 TB worth of games to the Samsung Evo 990 Plus from the internal PS5 SSD. I was getting read/write speeds in the mid 6000/5000+ MB/s range consistently, with a very quick transfer process end-to-end. I then went and loaded several PS5 first-party games like Ratchet & Clank & Demon Souls to test the SSD speed in-game with games that require fast speeds, and had no issues whatsoever in loading times, or hitches in games. Despite games like Ratchet & Clank doing high levels of read/writes from the SSD to memory in real-time, I didn’t notice any difference vs. the internal SSD in the PS5. When it came to game loading times, they were likewise extremely fast and did seem to be slightly faster than the internal PS5 SSD, particularly with older games. In terms of heat, although for much of my time using the SSD I used an external heatsink, I personally noticed no issues when in my PC, or now in the PS5. Despite putting under it a pretty heavy upfront load, I did not see any throttling or signs of tension on the SSD. It has been absolutely blazing end-to-end, and shows no signs of slowing down. Samsung has killed it.

If you’re looking for a top tier PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD, you know Samsung is the way to go. Year after year the Samsung Evo line has continued to impress. This powerhouse of an SSD aims to delivers incredible performance in all walks of computing. The 990 Pro uses a PCIe 4.0 interface and can produce a claimed sequential read and write speeds of 7,450 MB/s and up to 6,900 MB/s, respectively. In my testing I was able to get sequential read and write speeds of 6328 MB/s and 5493 MB/s respectively. This puts it above the previous king of PCIe 4, the 980 Pro. As one of the fastest gen 4 SSDs available, it is ideal for all types of typical home workloads- gaming, file transfers, whatever you can throw at it! In terms of value, the 2TB 990 Pro is one of the more expensive 4.0 options, but you get what you pay for. It delivers top-notch performance, is built to last, and has a high endurance rating of up to 1200 TBW. In addition, it comes with great software support from Samsung, including the excellent Magician application, which makes management and firmware updates easy. The Samsung 990 Pro M.2 SSD is highly recommended for anyone looking for a high performance PCIe 4 SSD. With excellent build quality and a useful software suite, this is the enthusiast’s SSD.

The Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 2TB is an absolute beast. Speeds are insane — I’m getting close to the advertised 7,250 MB/s on my PCIe Gen 4 setup. Boot times are nearly instant, and large file transfers feel effortless. It's perfect for gaming, video editing, and anything that demands serious speed. Installation was super easy with the M.2 2280 form factor. You also get Samsung’s top-notch reliability and thermal control, so performance stays consistent even under heavy load. This SSD is a must-have upgrade for power users!

Upgrading to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus from my 970 EVO Plus was a noticeably impactful decision. Installation was a breeze, with the system booting right up without a hitch. The speed increase is immediately apparent; not only are boot times snappier, but the subtle in-game stutters and skips I sometimes experienced before are now gone. Games load faster and run smoother. For anyone looking for a tangible performance boost, especially for gaming and demanding applications, I recommend the 990 Evo Plus.

Super easy installation, took all of about 5 minutes and half of that was spent looking up a youtube video just to be safe. My read speed is off the charts and overall this literally saved my pc. 9.5/10 wish i got the bigger one.

Best bang for your buck. Quick, higher capacity and Samsung drivers and support are great.

I had just finished upgrading my gaming PC and grabbed the 970 plus to use as a game drive. I usually use slower drives for the OS since boot time is negligible and any increase in transfer times would benefit games more. Installation was typical, so no issues there. Installed Samsung Magician and firmware is up-to-date. and proceeded to fill it up with some programs and software. Using Crystal DiskMark with NVME settings I got some impressive results that gave pretty closely to what the box claims it could do. However, it was only sequential reads that could hit near 7000MB/s. Writes, while still nice, never reached the 7000 or 6000 mark. These benches reflect into real world as fast load times. But that should be expected from any NVME or SSD. Even though you get huge numbers benches, the difference in driver performance flattens out once you step away from benches and put it to real use. So, while the drive wasn't significantly faster than my "budget" NVME it still shaved some precious seconds, lol. Next was as 55GB large file transfer. My other NVME can sustain around 5000MB/s so its able almost keep up with the bench score on the 970 for writes. The copy was only able to achieve 3GB/s. I'm not sure if I was limited by the drives or my motherboard. Either way, copying a 55GB file from one drive to another was still blazing fast. Copying the file from my server to the NVME gave me enough time to go downstairs, fix a drink, go to the bathroom, start this review and finally done after writing 1/2 of this review, lol. So yeah, I'm not crying over not hitting 5GB/s. Along with the 2 NVME I have 2 SSD's because they were cheaper at the time of buying for the capacity I wanted and I only had 1 NVME slot. Since my new motherboard supports 4 NVME drives I'm seriously considering replacing those two SSD with a couple more 970 pluses.

Installation into my ROG computer was easy-peasy even for a non-tech person. However, it took me days of surfing the net and looking at you-tube vids to figure out why Windows 11 refused to recognize the drive was there despite it showing on BiOS and in the devices. Using it as my main game storage drive and no issues since. That is the only reason I am deducting a star. Samsung needs to make sure it is an easy plug and play unit.

Just got my hands on the Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 2TB SSD, and wow, it’s a game-changer! The speeds are insane—up to 7,250 MB/s—and I can definitely tell the difference when loading games, transferring files, or booting up my PC. Installation was a breeze, and the 2TB capacity is perfect for storing all my games and media without worrying about running out of space.

Works as expected, Fast speed, appears to be solid. Easy to install. Would buy again. Next time go with 4TB as never have enough space.

I put this into my first pc and it works amazingly. I havent had any issues with downloading or transferring files, and the only bottle neck I have is my own wifi. For my pc this works great and I am thinking about getting even more.

This SSD was a major upgrade for my PC, originally built in 2019, in which I've been using a standard 2.5" SSD to boot for since I built it. With an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro a few years ago, my older 256GB drive wasn't cutting it anymore. In addition, I had an HDD to boot games off of, and with the size of shaders nowadays, there was a lot of wasted time waiting for things to compile or just load in general. Now, my PC is on in less than 6 seconds, games load in < 60 seconds, and it was very simple to install. Only thing I would say is it should have come with a screw, I know typically motherboards are responsible for this, but it wouldn't hurt to include one just in case users, like myself, didn't hold onto all the extra parts from the original installation.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB is an impressive SSD that delivers outstanding performance. With PCIe Gen 4x4 support and read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s, it’s incredibly fast for gaming, heavy workloads, and large file transfers. The M.2 2280 form factor makes it easy to install, and the 2TB capacity provides plenty of space for both operating systems and applications. It’s a reliable and efficient choice if you want high speed, stability, and storage in one drive.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB delivers excellent PCIe Gen 4 performance with fast load times and smooth overall system responsiveness. Installation was easy, speeds are consistently strong, and it handles gaming, multitasking, and large file transfers without issue. It’s reliable, efficient, and a great upgrade for anyone looking for fast, dependable storage.

Best storage drive you'll ever need I fully recommend it to anyone. Super fast download speeds and so much storage

I recently upgraded to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB SSD for my gaming PC, and it’s been a great choice. Load times are lightning-fast, games boot up almost instantly, and everything runs super smooth. I noticed a big difference especially in open-world games with a lot of assets to load. It’s a PCIe 4.0 drive but also works with PCIe 5.0, which makes it future-proof. The installation was simple, and it doesn’t run hot even after long gaming sessions, which is a big plus. For the price, the performance is impressive. If you’re a gamer looking for more space and faster load times, this drive is 100% worth it.

Super easy install and setup with smoother performance than any other in class. Ultra fast and reliable!
