||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the extra money...the read/write speed is so insignifant, that I would just go with 970 for almost half the price.

Piece of junk
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this for the value. And was Going to use it to expand the The storage space in my brand new computer. 2 Days after I installed it and loaded it, it failed. I had to return it purchase a different. SSD and start all over. The interesting point is that I was hesitant at first. Because I know of the problems. The sand disk has had with these but I went ahead anyway. I guess you live and you learn. I should have followed my gut in the first place and purchased a different brand.

Defective 990
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked for about a week. Randomly it stopped showing up. Would have to restart Laptop several times before it would show up again. Tried every tutorial to try and fix. Samsung driver and magician app would not even install and operate. From my experience and previous with Samsung… they are not very plug and play friendly compared to other brands, i have read that the 980 has way less issues than the 990.

Stay away from Samsung!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never buy a Samsung product. They are total garbage, and their customer service is the WORST!!! They have stolen my money, given me incorrect "bonus" products, forced me to keep broken products, voided warranties on products that THEY broke when I submitted them for service. Terrible! Buy a different brand, and thank me later.

Wrong product inside the box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On the packaging it’s written M.2 NVME and inside is an M.2 SATA. There is a distinct difference between how the slots differ between both and many motherboards do not offer cross compatibility.

Can’t Say It’s Worth It
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received a bad drive. Cost me a week of troubleshooting through a new build’s components. Thankfully BestBuy accepted the return without issue.

I’m very sorry for the difficulties you’ve experienced with your 990 PRO SSD. We completely understand your frustrations, and we are here to help.
There are several reasons why your drive is not being detected.
1. Your PC may fail to detect the SSD automatically; please search for new devices in Windows Device Manager.
2. When Hot Plug-in for each port in BIOS settings is set to Off by default, Windows may fail to detect the SSD. In this case, reboot the system, enter BIOS setup, and go to the configuration menu to ensure that Hot Plug-in for each port is set to "Enable“.
How to enter BIOS setup for different mainboards:
• GIGABYTE -->F12, ASUS --> F8, ASRock --> F11, Biostar --> F9, MSI --> F11, Intel --> F10
3. When SSD is not properly connected, the system may fail to detect the SSD. Disconnect and reconnect
4. When the partition has not been defined, it may cause failure in detecting the SSD.
Go to Device Manager to set up a partition, format the drive, and then reboot.
• Management> Disk Management> Select SSD> Set up partition and format.
