Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent Exterior Solid State Drive operates at maximum speed allowed with SATA anything faster would require being installed internally, and since my reason for purchasing the drive is for a recovery image and additional digital photos, video, document storage, internal installation isn't required, plus the hardware motherboard on my device is obsolete doesn't have the updates motherboard that would be able to fully utilize this drives potential

This is so much quicker than what I was originally running. Easy to install.

First time buying storage and was easy to install. Great value when on sale

My primary pcie 4.0 ssd running windows 11 and system files. Excellent read and write speeds for the generation that it is. Does everything i need and ask it to do without fail.

Crazy fast hard drive! The speed difference is insane and the cost doesn’t completely blow the bank! Great ssd and it runs really cool temps

Worked seamlessly in my laptop. Originally tried another brand, but wasn't compatible with my laptop.

Good price and quality part. So much faster than cabled drives.

Easy attachment for my Mac mini stand. Just put it in, clear it and name it. Super simple.

Great price and sureshot product that lasts. I have used various brands of NVMe SSDs for 50+ PCs I manage, and Samsung has not failed so far, and their price for EVO line has become very compatitive. I have used some of these for an external enclosure to transfer large files and using USB type C made it really fast.

Great ssd and easy to install with app easy to use. Love samsung ssds all aroundwith great reliability and speed.

Solid NVME SSD for the price point that its at, It punches above its weight and performs just as good as drives that are double the price, I primarily used mine as a secondary drive that stores all my games and even when I maxed out the capacity it was still running fast. Boot times were snappy and loading times were short. Cant complain

I bought this on sale for about $69. I needed a back up hard drive that was cloned from my primary drive for my new Windows 11 desktop. It is not the PRO version and thus does not have a heat sink. It also does not come with the M2 screw needed to secure it into the NVME slot. Happily, the manufacturer of my desktop (Dell) included the screw in the empty NVME slot. When I initially tried to clone the primary drive to this Samsung drive, the software told me it couldn’t clone an encrypted drive. As it turns out, many current computer makers encrypt their primary drives. Using the Windows 11 software, one is able to un-encrpyt the primary drive, allowing the cloning process to proceed. Once the primary drive was cloned to my new Samsung SSD, I encrypted the primary drive. I tried using the Samsung drive as my primary drive and it worked flawlessly. After that I removed the Samsung drive and stored it in a secure location. From time to time I’ll have to re-clone my primary drive to this Samsung drive. I realize this is not an elegant solution for back up, but I’m happy with this process. Oh, I did verify the read and write speeds and yes, they were equal to or slightly higher than 5000 MBPS as measured by the Samsung Magician software.

### Review: Samsung 990 EVO SSD 1TB The Samsung 990 EVO SSD 1TB is a fantastic upgrade. With PCIe Gen 4x4 | Gen 5x2 support and speeds up to 5,000MB/s, it significantly boosts system performance. Installation was easy, and the SSD fits perfectly in the M.2 slot. It's reliable, fast, and worth every penny for the performance it delivers. Highly recommended!

Perfect replacement SSD for my 3 year old Dell laptop that only had a 256 gb at purchase. Easy install. Seems to be fast for everyday use (cannot say one way or another about gaming). Other reviews suggest it is reliable, and about one month in and no problems. Good value as well

I mean pretty straight forward great product worked in my pc well especially since most games require an SSD to play took me only 2 min to instal i even moved windows onto it because it just makes the computer run like butter

I use this drive for crrative content and it works exactly as expected. The isntall was super easy, but that is largely dependent on your motherboard. Everything loads and saves quickly. I recomend this drive to anyone in the market for a new m.2 drive.

A really good SSD. Very fast, cheap and easy to put on my new laptop I also bought at BestBuy.

Used this in conjunction with an X870 board. Drive works just as intended, and I’ve had 0 issues so far. A great value NVME!

It was easy to install and worked as advertised. I am happy with my purchase. I got it on sale and would say for anyone to wait for a sale before buying.

Put this in my rig as my primary drive for games -- runs very well and stays decently cool to my surprise. It does not have an dedicated memory BUT it still reads and writes with ease. If you're looking for a good budget friendly option in a world of overpriced tech this will check most boxes. More food for thought -- I have a 1080 and was using a SSD for storage. I tried playing Starfield and the game was horrendous, really, just unplayable. I bought this drive and I can now enjoy flying through space with all of Bethesdas bugs. A night and day difference.
