⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blazing Fast and Rock Solid Performance!
I upgraded to the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with heatsink, and I couldn’t be happier. The installation was quick and hassle-free, and the difference in speed is instantly noticeable. Boot times are almost nonexistent, games load in seconds, and large file transfers finish before I can blink.
The built-in heatsink is a major plus—it keeps the temps cool even under heavy workloads, which gives me peace of mind for long gaming or editing sessions. I’ve noticed zero throttling or performance drops.
Samsung’s Magician software is also a nice touch, making it super easy to monitor drive health and performance.
Whether you’re building a gaming PC, upgrading your PS5, or need a high-performance SSD for content creation, the 990 PRO with heatsink is absolutely worth it. It’s fast, reliable, and future-proof.
✅ Pros:
• Lightning-fast read/write speeds
• Efficient heatsink keeps it cool
• Easy to install
• Great for gaming, editing, and multitasking
⚠️ Cons:
• Pricier than some alternatives, but the performance justifies it
Overall, this drive is a beast—Samsung nailed it again. Highly recommend!

My PC is currently on a PCIe Gen 3.0 system as I wait to update to more updated hardware. The Samsung 990 Pro 1TB with Heatsink is currently getting a hair under 3.5GB/s Read Time - 2.5GB/s Write Time. This NVME SSD is a performer and will be twice as fast when I'm ready to upgrade and take full advantage of the 7.5GB/s Read - 7GB/s Write Times.
Definitely want to install Samsung Magician software to manage this NVMe SSD!
Fun Fact: I didn't think I'd care for the LED on this but you can change the color to match your PC Case Lighting!
Pros: Great Quality and Fast
Cons: No Cons

Let me tell you about this 990 Pro SSD - it's a total game-changer!
I was building my gaming server for my network rack and realized my old Samsung 970 EVO, while it was pretty fast, just wasn't cutting it anymore for gaming. Load times were okay, but the 990 PRO? Woah! It shaved them in HALF! Seriously, games load up so ridiculously fast now, it's insane.
JUST WOW is right - this thing is a beast!
Cons - Waiting over 20 minutes for someone to open the glass cage just for a single item.

Works for what I needed, will probably upgrade to the 2 tb sometime.
Didn't come with the screw to lock it in place, like I was told it would, fortunately that was with the motherboard.

They sent me an empty box, and refused to refund my money or send a replacement product. They said it was my problem and they wouldn't resolve it. The customer service in the store simply pretended they didn't know that such a thing could happen and didn't know how to solve the problem. I will never buy anything from them again. The technical support team is useless and doesn't help at all, only asking generic questions. The service is terrible, I do not recommend it.
We appreciate you sharing your experience. We recommend you contact Best Buy Customer Support or your local Best Buy store directly for assistance in correcting this situation. We hope your issue is resolved in a timely manner.
Should you have questions or concerns regarding the usage or setup of your SSD once your issue has been resolved, you can reach us at:

BestBuy sells counterfeit Samsung drives. Do not buy from BestBuy. Refused to refund purchase price due to "policy" CEO does not allow employees to make ethical decisions on their own. Despite Samsung Magician report verifying that the drive is a counterfeit drive. It's policy not to refund unless you buy a BestBuy buddy plan. This is a no buy from BestBuy. Samsung drives are great drives unless you purchase a counterfeit one sold by BestBuy.
Thank you for sharing your unfortunate purchasing experience with your seller and received a fake 990 PRO with Heatsink as confirmed by Magician.
Samsung stands behind the quality and performance of every 990 PRO with Heatsink SSD we manufacture with a limited 5-year manufacturer's limited warranty when purchased brand-new, directly from an authorized seller, like Best Buy.
Please contact Samsung Customer Support directly so that we can better investigate your issue and assist you towards a resolution or replacement.

I bought the Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD from Best Buy, and it’s been amazing. The installation was super easy, and the performance boost is immediately noticeable. My PC boots up in seconds, and games load incredibly fast—no more waiting around.
The read and write speeds are just as advertised, making it perfect for gaming and productivity tasks. It also runs cool, thanks to the built-in heatsink. Samsung’s reputation for quality shows here.
Overall, I’m really happy with this SSD. If you’re looking to upgrade your system, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

First time expanding the storage internally & happy to say it was easier than anticipated, was nervous I would snap it by accident haha
Easily added more than enough storage for my PS5 & the high transfer speeds are nice too. Totally worth it

Had for about a couple months now and my guns run fast and it’s plenty of space. I can have whatever game I want and it runs just like it’s been downloaded on the console. Definitely worth the money and easy to install on my playstation

This SSD is a beast. Installed it in my PS5 and instantly noticed faster game load times and smoother performance. The built-in heatsink keeps things cool even during long gaming sessions, and installation was a breeze. It’s a bit pricey, but the speed and reliability are 100% worth it if you want top-tier performance and future-proof storage.
