I recently upgraded to the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Internal SSD, and it’s been a game-changer for my setup. If you're looking for speed, reliability, and easy installation, this is the drive to get. Here's my experience with it:
Pros:
Blazing Fast Speed: The read/write speeds on this thing are incredible. I’m getting close to the advertised 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write speeds. Everything from booting up Windows to loading large applications and games is nearly instant.
Excellent for Gaming: As a gamer, this SSD has significantly reduced load times in my games, especially open-world titles with large maps. It’s perfect for high-performance gaming and future-proofing.
Reliability: Samsung has always been known for making reliable SSDs, and the 990 PRO is no different. The built-in heatsink helps keep the drive cool, and I haven’t experienced any thermal throttling, even under heavy use.
Easy Installation: It’s a standard NVMe M.2 installation, and I had no issues getting it set up on my motherboard. Samsung’s Magician software made it easy to clone my old drive and monitor the health of the SSD.
Cons:
Price: It’s on the pricier side compared to other SSDs, but in my opinion, the performance and reliability make it worth the investment.
Requires PCIe 4.0: To fully take advantage of the speeds, you’ll need a motherboard that supports PCIe Gen 4. If you're on an older platform, you won’t get the maximum performance, but it will still be faster than most SSDs out there.
Overall:
If you’re looking for a high-performance SSD for gaming, content creation, or just want lightning-fast speeds in general, the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB is a fantastic choice. The price might be a bit steep, but the performance and reliability make it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend this if you want to future-proof your setup!

The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD not only gave my system a huge speed boost, it actually helped me bring my PC back to life. After swapping it in, boot times are instant, games and apps load in seconds, and file transfers fly. Samsung’s software makes setup and monitoring super easy, and the drive runs cool and stable even under heavy use.
If you want an upgrade that’s both insanely fast and reliable, this SSD is a no-brainer. It literally saved my PC and made it feel brand new.

Since the NVMe is gen 4 it wont take bandwidth from your 50 series GPU. This particular NVMe is super dependable and works perfect in raid mode. Its pefect for a main drive or adding additional storage capacity. Samsung makes the most dependable and versatile stroage drives. I have them in my gaming rigs and plan to use this one in the Asus Xbox ROG Ally X.

I bought this to put in an MSI Katana 17-inch gaming laptop. It works great with everything that I use it for. The boot on my laptop is around 4 to 7 seconds from the button to log in. It blazes through MS Office Adobe Acrobat and all my games including Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Mortal Combat, Horizon Zero Dawn, and others without breaking a sweat. You won’t be disappointed.

I bought this item on discount, and I've been really happy with my purchase. When you open the box, the SSD is housed securely but easy to get out. You just plug it into your M.2 port and go through the process of initializing it. You can find all kinds of tutorials online if the instruction booklet isn't to your liking. Overall, I think I got a good product for my money.

Solid NVMe for the price. Has top tier speeds for a PCIe 4 M.2. I highly suggest it for a storage drive. If you want an NVMe for a partitioner e.g (windows). I would suggest a PCIe 5 since they reach 5 digit speeds.

Simple plug-n-play, fit my Alienware r16 pc perfectly.
Performance sees to be running great no issues yet.
Just buy the tiny screw to insert on the existing screw on the board.
Def a great add-on to your PC to increase memory.

Very fast drive - a few set up challenges

Excellent M.2 SSD. extremely fast. It can be a bit of a challenge getting a system to recognize it when installed as a second drive. Samsung Magician software will not recognize this drive if you are running a RAID configuration (must be set up to run AHCI mode in BIOS). Unfortunately, I still couldn't get Magician to recognize the drive even after changing to AHCI (I have done this with several other systems with no issues. Not sure what's up with this current system). Magician is not essential to use drive, but makes it easier to update firmware and monitor the SSD.
