Customer Ratings & Reviews

This SSD does not fit an Asus Z170-Pro motherboard! The motherboard's single NVME slot is right next to the SATA cable connectors, and the plastic shell of this SSD's heatsink makes it LESS THAN 1mm TOO WIDE. A shame. Other than that, it's a great SSD. High capacity, high read speed. Only $10 more than the non-heatsink version, so why not go for the upgrade.

This is a great drive at a very reasonable price to upgrade to. I am a PC user who upgraded from a Samsung 980 Pro. Samsung is a premium brand and its hard drives are no exception. I’ve used them for years without any issues and will only use select brands to store my data. I ran benchmark scores on my PCIe 4.0 motherboard against both the 980 and 990 pro. I did a clone copy of the 980 to create a test environment that was more evenly matched before running the tests, so the only difference is the amount of free space, which I had plenty on both. While I got nowhere near the advertised speeds posted by Samsung, they were still very fast. I almost never get the posted speeds by any hard drive maker, it all depends on your hardware setup. I do have a gaming rig, but far from cutting edge hardware. Unfortunately, the speed tests didn’t have a huge difference in speeds except for the sequential write speed which nearly got 2GB/s faster. The read speed was comparable and the 980 even beat the 990 in some areas. I ran the speed test for the 990 3 times and it would get more consistent as I ran it. I’ve attached photos of the benchmarks of both drives. If you do a lot of writing to drives or have newer computer hardware, I’d recommend going for the 990 Pro, otherwise saving you a few bucks for the 980 Pro will probably be just fine for you. Do keep in mind this one is the model that comes with a heatsink, which can cause issues when trying to add it to tight spaces such as laptops. My desktop motherboard chipset heatsinks in the past have gotten in the way before, so check you have clearance for a slightly bulkier hard drive. You can always go for the option without the heatsink.

SSD lots of storage and it fit in perfectly I love it

Performance has been noticeably faster. Boot times are quick, apps open almost instantly, and large file transfers feel a lot smoother than before. I’m not someone who sits and runs speed tests, but in everyday use the difference is obvious.

Easy to install with fast transfer speeds; has the option to download directly to the drive. Great Option for PS5 players. Didn't know it had an LED on it.

Well worth the purchase if you value performance. Read and Write speed are outstanding. Heatsink does a pretty good job of keeping cool. LED light for operating verification is nice as well if running in a desktop set up. Would highly recommend. Yes a little pricey but well worth it for today gaming and pc performance.

Blows me away how much this upgrade has enlightened me by being able to store much more than before and the performance is great

SAMSUNG PRO Series is the best & most reliable. The heatsink fits perfectly and helps dissipate heat. The device is fast. Most importantly, when it comes to data, reliability is the most important attribute. You get what you pay for.

Ridiculous speeds, minimal load times on PS5. There is practically nothing wrong with how this drive performs. However, I would not recommend this drive to someone who cannot update the firmware, which requires a PC motherboard with an M.2 slot. There was a past firmware version that caused significant drive health problems, shortening the drive’s life by years potentially. If you can’t check/update firmware, I would recommend the WD_BLACK SN850X. All that said, however, my drive shipped with the latest firmware. It would appear that most of the problems have been resolved, but I would check the firmware to be safe.

Great product. 6,565 average read speed on my PS5. I got the 2tb 990 pro with heatsink. It was very easy to install. Once i got it installed you just turn on your ps5 and it will immediatley ask to sync to the PS5. I then transferred (10) games from PS5 hard drive to 990 Pro SSD. After transferring the games to the 990 Pro i still have 1.4tb of memory space left on plus almost all of the 825gb on the PS5. I think i could store close to 40 games which is plenty for our family!

Perfect for my PS5 console -- blazing fast and plenty of room now. No problems so far hopefully it lasts as long as my old console did...

Easy installation. Plenty of storage space with 2 tb. There is no reduction in quality or performance when playing games from SSD. Overall recommend to anyone!

Fast ssd! Love it for gaming ! Holds all my games! Its almost full and still running strong !

The first one I ordered came delivered from the Best Buy returns center (but was supposed to be new), and the envelope it arrived in was smashed and scuffed as if it had been stepped on. The inner box holding the product was also smashed but the drive itself looked ok (no visible defects). On installation, it started throwing blue screens so I took it back to the store and initiated a replacement - which also had to be ordered; but this time I had it delivered to the store for pickup. It likely had micro-cracks or damage underneath the heatsync that was not visible to the naked eye. The replacement I got (two weeks later) was in perfect condition and has been working great in my gaming system for over a month; no blue screens - and I got it just in time (before all the NVMe drive prices shot through the roof).

The best expansion memory storage for ps5 system, after all reviews online is safe to say that is the most reliable and easy to use memory at a great price for 4tb size. I have no complains, works great and loads games fast. Really recommended

Works flawlessly and the fact it has a heatsink is cool

Easy to install no more deleting games! Fast and easy.

It's fast easy to install and it works amazing with my games

This thing works great for the ps5. Extra storage, very reasonably priced. Easy to install as well. Would recommend

The ssd is great for ps5. Easy to install, perfect fit. Speed is awesome. 100% recommend
