    990 PROs are top performers. This SSD was installed in a PC that has its own heat-sink, so that feature was irrelevant. Purchased because it was on sale for $20 less than standard version. Might be useful for PS5 owners even tho 990s are known for cool operation.

    Very fast, very stable, runs cooler with less throttling, fits in a standard M2 socket. Heat is the enemy of all electronics. It pays to buy one with a permanent heat sink.

    This is a great SSD for PS5. It was simple to install, and fit perfectly, even with the heatsink. Performance is at least as good as the stock drive.

    It’s been almost 2 month since I’ve had the 990 Pro 2TB and aside from installing getting a bit annoying because a stripped screw -no fault of the 990 itself- it’s been a flawless experience. It’s sleek, pleasing on the eyes, and most importantly: fast. It’s rated as 5900 GB/s read write speed by the PlayStation 5 internal rating and it moves like it. I highly recommend as I’m very satisfied with it. I have 10 games installled and still got 1.5TB left of space.

    I bought this ssd for my Ally X and it loads my games up so quick that it's almost instantly. The heatsink is perfect for keeping the ssd cool to prevent overheating and game crashes. I would definitely recommend if your looking to upgrade your new Ally X or you can Use it for the PS5 as well.

    This thing is plenty fast for almost all your needs. Unless you are doing high end AI stuff, this thing is great. One item to call out is that if you are using this as a second drive to your Windows machine, you will have to take a few steps to add it to Windows 11. I have a similar model in my PS5 and that is what drew me to add one to my PC. Great deal!

    Samsung 990 PRO 2TB SSD: Speedy Upgrade for Consol

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Internal SSD with its PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe interface and built-in heatsink is undoubtedly a powerhouse for gaming consoles like the PS5 and Xbox. Its massive storage capacity and lightning-fast speeds make it an ideal upgrade for console gamers seeking enhanced performance and reduced load times. However, as a PC user, I found the built-in heatsink less appealing. Most motherboards come with their own heatsinks, which often offer a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing look. Consequently, I opted to return this SSD and chose a model without the integrated heatsink for my PC setup. For console gamers, this SSD is a fantastic choice, but PC builders might prefer something that better complements their system's aesthetics.
