990 Pro review

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!

The quality and price of this SSD are unbeatable. The 2 TB of extra storage is perfect for a young gamer. My son used to delete games just to make space for new games. Not anymore! Copying games and other saved data on the PS5 is easy and fast. Installing and formatting the drive was a breeze. The reliability and longevity of this manufacturers products made my choice of purchasing this SSD easy and without a second thought.

Perfect easy and effective option for increasing PS5 storage. My 1TB PS5 was not cutting it any longer. This stick is super easy to install using a YouTube video directly from PlayStation and you know you are getting quality from Samsung.

SSDs are hitting the point of diminishing returns and the Samsung 990 Pro is no exception. On paper, this is a great drive. It has a built in heat sink, the sequential write and read speeds are well above the rest of the pack, and the size will keep you going for a while without needing to delete info. However, this is only part of the story and real world performance says spend your cash wisely elsewhere.
The first part is will you need the heat sink or will it be a hindrance? On many modern PCs, the primary M.2 slot now comes with it's own built in heat sink. If that is the case for your system, then you'll need to give up something you already have for free, or you'll need to move this to a different slot which may not have a PCI-E Gen4 connection. For consoles, the heat sink will need to fit inside your gaming device, like it does for the PS5. If you plan on using this in an external enclosure, the heat sink will likely prevent you from installing the drive correctly and thus ruining your plans.
Next we move on to the topic of speed. While this drive is great for sequential read and writes, it's random access falls short of other drives in its class, and that's not uncommon. Manufacturers will put in extra cache to improve sequential speeds on paper and then when the drive goes idle it will move items from cache to the slower parts of the drive. However, sequential access is more for moving large files in video editing or using as a dump drive for external media. For gaming, your best gains will be from random access as game files are almost never right next to each other. Even the best optimized games can only put some many files next to each other on a CD/DVD and when those get installed to a Hard Drive/SSD, all bets are off. This includes files being fetched for direct storage optimized games.
And then there is the "will you notice factor". At the sequential read/write this is posting, it is unlikely that your SSD will be the bottle neck, and that is generally true of most high end M.2 drives. If the drive is your bottle neck, will the time difference of a few milliseconds of zone load time be worth the hit to your wallet? In many cases, probably not.
With all that being said, this drive may have specific use case scenarios, and if you've got those scenarios, you're likely not reading this review. You've already made up your mind to buy it. For the rest, decide if you really need this drive or something with better random access. If you do need this speed, decide if you really need the heat sink. That money saved could be put towards your next game purchase.

Easy to install, expanded my storage and is doing what I needed. I like that it is internal and not an external plug in.
