A: hhecla: The Samsung 990 EVO PLUS SSD 2TB uses a PCIe Gen 4x4 or 5x2 interface, while the MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk motherboard supports PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 for its M.2 slots. Although the 990 EVO PLUS is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3.0, it will operate at reduced speeds compared to its full potential on a PCIe Gen 4.0 slot. Therefore, you can use the 990 EVO PLUS SSD with your motherboard, but you may not get the maximum performance out of it. - Samsung Memory

Excellent Choice for replacement or upgrade!
The perfect recommendation for an upgrade. Affordable, with plenty of memory for an OS and programs, fast read/write speeds, and easy to install. I was able to seamlessly migrate Windows OS from my old HD to this one with ease, and it's been running like a champ ever since! I have another PCIe slot open... I'm tempted to buy another one! LOL

Great All Purpose SSD
Great all purpose SSD. I have several of these drives and all but one work great and are as advertised. The only outlier being one that had physical damage and only works externally. Samsung support (as with most support channels for big companies) was of no help. Be aware that they said that physical damage is not covered under the warranty even if the drive didn't work when you get it. Be sure to test as soon as possible (I did not with one of the drives) so that you can make a claim as close to the purchase date as possible. Outside of this issue, the drives work great and I would highly recommend them over the more pricey models for most people.

The upgrade your been looking for/ guide (kinda)
Recommendation: Take Advantage of Special Offers! If you're looking to upgrade your storage, I recommend this SSD for its fast performance, quick file transfers, and efficient handling of compact files. :) Guide for Upgrading and Replacing an Old SSD: 1. Prepare a Bootable USB Drive: Get a 16GB USB flash drive and create a bootable Windows 11 installer on it. 2. Install the New SSD: Replace your old SSD with the new one. Do not reconnect the old SSD to your PC yet. 3. Access BIOS: Insert the USB drive before entering your PC’s BIOS. 4. Set USB as Boot Device: Check your PC’s BIOS settings and select the USB drive as the primary boot device instead of the SSD. 5. Install Windows: The Windows installation process should start. Follow the on-screen prompts. 6. Select the New SSD: When prompted to choose where to install Windows, select your new SSD (it should display the storage capacity you chose). 7. Complete the Installation: Continue answering the prompts to install a fresh copy of Windows. Handling the Old SSD: - Option 1: Transfer Files: Connect your old SSD to your PC and transfer important files to the new SSD. Note: Research which files can be safely transferred, as some may not be compatible. - Option 2: Wipe and Repurpose: Alternatively, connect the old SSD, wipe it completely (making it unallocated), and reformat it for use as a backup drive. Important: Always research the file transfer process to avoid potential issues.
