I have yet to say anthing bad about Samsung drives. I benchmarked performance between 990 PRO and this 990 EVO Plus. Between the two, I honestly can't see a noticeable difference. Yeah numbers wise there's a slight difference but from actually using the drives nothing is different. I suggest people save their money and go for this drive. It's sold, no out of box issues like the 990 PRO.

Product comes as advertised and is easy to install. You'll notice the speeds of the storage most when transferring data to and from other nvme drives. Blows older style hard drives out of the water. The days of spinning hard drives is over!

I got this because storage was getting expensive following what happened to RAM and this hadn't yet skyrocketed or run out of stock when I grabbed it. It's a good SSD. Fast enough. Plenty of storage. No fuss. Decent warranty. Had prior 990 EVO PLUS in other sizes and no issues yet.

Needed a new m.2 with bigger storage for games. I haven't had any issues so far, bought around February which is running great as of today. Hopefully this drive will last a long time to come. The speed of the reads and writes are running as advertised. This is my 1st m.2 with Samsung and so far I happy with what i paides for. Will buy again if prices drop in the future.

I’ve been using the Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 4TB for a while now, and it’s been solid. Speeds are fast for everyday use—boot times, file transfers, and game loading are noticeably quicker than with older drives. Setup was simple, and Samsung’s Magician software is helpful for monitoring the drive.
It runs cool, even under load, though there’s no heatsink, so that’s something to consider if your system gets hot. It’s a bit more expensive than some other 4TB options, but you’re paying for Samsung’s reliability and support.
Bottom line:
Great all-around SSD if you want speed and lots of space, and don’t mind spending a little extra for brand trust.

Other than the fact that it doesn't come with the little screw to hold in in place in case your slot didn't have one already it is everything one can hope for. I already filled up half my cards memory on games that I previously had to delete, to make room for new releases.

Great speeds and an obviously incredible capacity, recommend for users who need a lot of speed and capacity on their storage.
May be harder to install for users who don’t know computers, just search m.2 installation tutorials and you should be set

Samsung drive have a high reliability compared to others. I have experienced that for myself over the years owning samsung drives compared to others. I am giving this 5 star as well since it didn't give me any issues installing or working. Best buy reps were also subarb from both stores.

Drive has been working great and not producing high temps. Newer drive does not seem to be suffering from the 990 Pro driver issues reporting last year. So far a big step up from the 990 Evo and previously reported issues. Works great with Windows 11 BitLocker.
Notes:
----------
- Purchased for $249
- Using in a Dell XPS 9530
- Drive does not always show on the BB website when searching for 4TB NVME SSDs; had to specifically search for the drive name / model
- Install the Samsung Magician software and make sure drivers are updated; use software to monitor performance
