    outstanding SSD. With PCIe Gen 4x4 support and speeds up to 7,250 MB/s, it's incredibly fast—perfect for large file transfers, high-end gaming, and demanding applications. Installation was simple in my M.2 slot, and it was instantly recognized without any issues. The 4TB capacity is a major plus, giving me plenty of room for everything. It's stable, reliable, and worth every penny for anyone needing high-speed storage.

    This Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD has been a flawless 5‑star upgrade for both my personal media and my gaming library. I recently got married and used this drive to transfer and back up a huge amount of high‑resolution wedding photos and videos. Moving all those large files was fast and smooth, with no hiccups or slowdowns, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing all those important memories were stored on a reliable, high‑speed drive. As a serious gamer, the performance has been just as impressive. Games installed on this SSD launch incredibly quickly, large open‑world titles stream in assets smoothly, and load screens are noticeably shorter. Downloading, updating, and moving big game files feels much quicker than on older SSDs or traditional hard drives. The 4TB capacity is a huge plus, letting me keep a large game library plus all my videos and other files in one place without constantly worrying about running out of space. The drive has been stable and dependable under heavy use. Even during long gaming sessions and big file transfers, everything stays responsive, with no crashes or corrupted data. Installation in the M.2 slot was straightforward, and once installed, it has quietly done its job without any issues. If you need a single drive that can handle large personal media collections and demanding games, this SSD is an excellent choice. The combination of massive 4TB capacity and extremely fast transfer speeds makes everyday use feel noticeably faster and more convenient. For backing up my wedding memories and powering my gaming setup, it’s an easy 5 stars.

    I recently upgraded my storage to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD, and I am absolutely blown away by its performance. From the moment I installed it, everything from boot times to file transfers became lightning fast. The read and write speeds are phenomenal—reaching up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,100 MB/s, respectively. This has completely transformed my workflow, especially for heavy tasks like video editing and gaming. The 4TB capacity is perfect for me, providing ample space for large projects and games, without worrying about running out of room. The drive is also extremely reliable with Samsung’s industry-leading V-NAND technology, ensuring long-term durability. Setup was incredibly easy, and the drive is super sleek, fitting seamlessly into my system. I also appreciate the low power consumption, which helps with heat management and extends the lifespan of the SSD. All in all, the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB is an absolute powerhouse, delivering incredible speed, reliability, and value for the price. Whether you're a content creator, gamer, or someone who simply needs top-tier storage, this SSD is a game-changer. Highly recommended!

    Has been great for gaming and movie watching so far. After the simple installation and partitioning it has been smooth sailing, even when playing giant games like FFVII Rebirth on PC. I bought it on sale and it is a great value for a reputable storage brand and fast SSD.

    Great SSD. Didn't realize how far storage has progressed. Storage on my SATAs were running low and this small stick has provides 3x more storage and takes up 1/20 of the space. I definitely also notice how much faster it is as well. Samsung also has a program that allows you to easily transfer drives as well.

    I bought this as a secondary storage drive for my Asus laptop and weighed this one vs the Samsung 990 pro. I'm glad I got this one, as it runs cooler and uses less laptop battery power since it doesn't have dram. I decided to skip on getting a heatsink. I have loaded over 3tb of data on to it with no issues and it has never run hotter than 45° Celsius, usually sticking around 33° for photos and a few degrees more for videos. I'm pretty comfortable with using it without the heatsink, but I'm also not hardcore using the thing. I've had it for a month now with no issues and I think it will probably last a good while after the 5 year warranty.

    Samsung has always been my SSD choice. The EVO line is the best price-to-performance value. 4TB was the sweet spot, mainly for the convenience of needing only one drive for your operating system and games. Easy install.

    I needed more storage capacity in my newish Dell desktop, so when Best Buy offered the Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 4TB SSD at a great price, I jumped on the offer. The drive arrived in a few days, and I couldn't be happier. It was easy to install, and it has been working perfectly. I installed Windows 11 and then everything else, and that took a while, but so far, the drive has performed flawlessly. I highly recommend this Samsung SSD.

    Works well. I haven't had it for very long yet but so far it does what it says it does. Installing it was a bit scary since I am not used to working with the internals of my computers. But installation was fairly easy all things considered. Also, 4TB is a lot of storage. I don't think I am running out of room on my laptop for a long time after getting this.
