Works just as fast as internal and was easy to install.
I'm glad to see you are enjoying the speed and performance of the 990 PRO. This high-end PCIe 4.0 drive excels everywhere it matters, is relatively efficient, and has an optional high-power mode. It would be great inside a PC, a laptop, or your PS5.

Ever since I upgrade my rig this little piece of hardware has come a long way in booting up my programs even faster than before. Excellent product as always!

Bought 3 of these M.2 for a new PC. I have used Samsung for all my PC's and even PS5. Samsung Magician software from website is a must. The software monitor alot of details of M.2 and used to update firmware.

Mine came with the latest firmware and was on sale as well. At the sale price this is an easy choice over the 980 Pro. It performs well and I haven’t had any thermal issues either (I’m just using a super thin heatsink that came with my laptop). You won’t really notice a difference from a 980 Pro unless you work with small files. Windows feels very snappy with this drive and a bit faster at everyday tasks compared to my 980 Pro and SK Hynix P41 SSDs. Be sure yours has the latest firmware and you’ll be good.
While it’s great to hear that you’re loving the performance of your 990 PRO SSD, it’s unfortunate to hear the SSD did not meet your storage expectations.
Samsung drives adhere to the IDEMA standard of advanced formatting, which will result in the drive appearing as less than the listed size. This is a common industry-wide standard.
The amount of space that appears to be "missing" is in fact used by the drive/card for storing firmware, metadata and spare blocks. Your operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) will also affect the usable space -- different operating systems will use different amounts of space to store their metadata. Consequently, formatted space will always be less than unformatted space.
You can look IDEMA up online for more technical details about this standard, which is established by The International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association.
