    Massive storage, really fast. Able to fit all of my VMs, games and more. It was really easy to install, just slide right in and worked immediately, no software installation required (but Samsung Magician recommended). Best of all it lasts for 2400 TBW so it'll last for years to come.

    Great timing with the sale right now. Easy to install, 4TBs of storage, and very fast. I've used 980 Pros for a couple of years, but the 1TB was getting low on space. This 4TB drive is perfect for my needs as I video edit and create motion graphics. I love it!

    I ordered this back on Black Friday for a Christmas gift to myself, and set it aside for the big day. Well, as it turned out, I recieved an empty box and had to head into the store to get it sorted out. I mean, how do you even begin to explain yourself for something like this? Customer service took care of me, no questions asked, and got a new one sent to me within 3 days. I cannot express the gratefulness I felt for being understood and believed on something like this. 5 star service. The product itself is easy to install (youtube it!) and once it was formatted it ran perfectly. Lightning fast installation and operation. Very pleased with my choice to purchase this NVMe!

    Super speedy and large capacity drive. A must have for a gaming PC that is going to fill up fast. Most reliable brand in my opinion, and I have tried many.

    The Samsung 990 PRO 4TB is the ultimate drive for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise. It combines class-leading speed, a massive capacity, and top-tier build quality into a single, no-excuses package. if you are building a high-end gaming PC, a powerful workstation for video editing/3D rendering, and you demand the absolute fastest load times and data transfer speeds available on the PCIe 4.0 standard. For everyone else, a more affordable drive will be a much better value.

    This drive is fast in benchmarking and some types of file transfers, but if you expect a boost in general things, you might be in for a disappointment. Buy this drive if you want one of the fastest drives (right now), but do it with the expectation of... Diminishing returns. Pros: 4TB lots of storage Was on sale. Cons: Didn't feel any quicker than my 3rd gen NVME, felt like it was a waste of money. Other thoughts: Am waiting for reasonably priced 8TB NVME drives, under $500.00

    Needed a fast and large storage to run well with a 4090, 14900k, and 128g ddr5 ram at 7800ms and this competes with speed, performance, write and download all in one. 100% would recommend even for lower end builds

    Quite impressive just how large 4th of storage can be.. im using a smaller boot drive to keep windows separate and this 4tb version of Samsungs flagship 990 Pro to store games and all my Cad files on. Impressive data transfer between this and my Nas made me truly appreciate the speed of this nvme setup. Price per gig this made the most sense to me. Seams steep in cost until you factor youd need 4 1 tb to match its capacity and would easily be $100 more. This was the best match between performance, quality, and price

    This thing is incredibly fast, I used it as a memory upgrade for my gaming laptop and my system recognized it right away. Getting around 7800Mbps read/write speeds during full load. Its pricey but has proven to be worth it. I'd highly recommend getting Samsung Magician as it monitors the health of the SSD and provides driver updates, its not just wasted space.

    I have two of these, and they are blistering fast, even though they are not Gen 5. Interesting story: I got two of these and installed them in a new system for W11, without even looking at them carefully. When I got to the BIOS I noticed that they were 2TB instead of 4TB, and one of them was a 980 insteaed of a 990. The boxes were correct, though of course the serial numbers on the box and the boards did not match up. I had not noticed it when I first opened them. I was fearful that the Best Buy on the West side of Madison, WI might not be able honor a return, but they did, without any major hassle. The return did, understandably, require a manager's approval. They fortunately did have 2 others in stock, which I opened before leaving the store to make sure that things matched up properly, which they did.

    Overall a good buy. I've used many generations of Samsung NVME and they haven't really ever let me down. I have some issues with their warranty disclaimer that the cards can't be used in adapter cards or an external Thunderbolt chassis or in a Mac Pro (TIP: enable trim or warranty service is out of the question). If the card was used in the aforementioned configurations you'll have to test the card on a machine with an NVME slot on the motherboard before they will honor the warranty. Otherwise they've been reliable and as always blazing fast.

    I needed to expand the storage on my Zephyrus G14. I had read that there were minimal real-world performance gains upgrading SSD to SSD, so I was planning to purchase a more mid-level 4 TB drove. I bought the 990 Pro when it went on sale and was pleasantly surprised. There is a small but noticeable bump in booting and in loading times. The Samsung management software is easy to use and robust. The drive itself is solid and looks well built. Only tiny concern I have is it runs a little hotter than the 512GB WD Black that shipped with the laptop. (It’s not a problem sitting on my desk).
