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.

Initial Inquiry & Decision:
I was looking to upgrade my PC storage to handle demanding tasks like heavy video editing, gaming, and large file transfers. Samsung’s 990 EVO Plus caught my attention with its remarkable read/write speeds, increased storage capacity, and power efficiency improvements over the previous 990 EVO.
Unboxing, Build Quality, & Testing:
The SSD arrived with robust build quality and includes a user manual to guide installation and setup. Featuring read/write speeds up to 7,250/6,300 MB/s, it offers blazing-fast performance that significantly cuts down transferring large files or loading complex projects. The available storage sizes up to 4TB are perfect for users needing ample space, with the TurboWrite 2.0 technology enhancing large file performance. I appreciated the 73% greater power efficiency provided by the nickel-coated controller, which helps maintain optimal thermal management and reduces battery drain on laptops. Compatibility with PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 ensures future-proofing with support for the latest technology standards. Samsung Magician software adds continual firmware updates, encryption, and health monitoring tools, keeping the SSD performing like new over time.
Overall Impressions and Recommendation:
The Samsung 990 EVO Plus delivers industry-leading speeds, high storage capacity, and smart power efficiency, making it an excellent choice for demanding users.

Blazing‑Fast 4TB Powerhouse for Creators & Gamers

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
