Very fast transfer speeds and an easy install
I added this to an open slot on my desktop motherboard and as expected I found the install to be easy and straight forward and used Windows Disk Management tool to create a simple volume to allow for use of the drive. This Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD has thus far met my expectations in terms of performance with no problems whatsoever. I’m happy to have the added 2TB capacity that will come in handy for me for gaming and everyday tasks. File transfer rates are impressive with a maximum read speed of 7250 megabytes per second and maximum write speed of 6300 megabytes per second. Samsung notes this as 45% faster than the 990 EVO and a similar write speed to their PRO series. Those doing complex tasks especially should benefit from the vastly improved specs of this 990 EVO Plus as compared to 990 EVO. I appreciate that my gaming experience is improved with faster load times, smoother gameplay, and responsiveness. Everyday tasks such as movement of files is a quick operation with the 990 EVO Plus’s fast transfer rates. This SSD is future proofed with the latest technology and Samsung has provided a five-year warranty in the unlikely event that problems should occur. Samsung’s Magician Software is available for firmware updates, extra encryption and monitoring of drive health. I see no real cons to this SSD and find it to be a nice balance of price and performance by a brand that I’ve found to be reliable.

The best only get better and faster
I think most people are always in need of more storage and I am not a fan of paying monthly for cloud storage. For me there are about 4 brands I trust to last. Samsung is usually at the top of my list. And right now with holiday prices. It was a great time to get some additional storage and Samsung won for price and speed. Just starting to setup the new 990 Evo Plus SSD. Went into "Disk Management" created a simple drive and Windows assigned a letter to the drive location. While it will likely eventually live in my year old Asus laptop. I decided for the immediate future to install it in an NVMe enclosure I had for the holiday season to bring along some media files instead of a slower older portable hard drive. The price of the 990 Evo Plus is pretty competitive to purpose built solid state portable drives. It might be tough to let my Asus have it if I find that I like it more as a portable drive. The speeds so far on USB-C to NVMe are nearly 700mb/s. Took less than 20 seconds to transfer 26GB of files. Far quicker than I usually remember seeing for old platter hard drives to move that much data. They would need minutes. Granted USB-A vs USB-C on a thunderbolt port might make up for some of the speed difference. Bonus is how small and light this SSD is with my enclosure, easier for travel. For such a tiny stick of gum sized storage. The 990 Evo Plus is amazingly fast. It might be debatable for how long SSD's live over time with constant read and writes. And you never hear about the great SSD's as most people only post about the ones that fail. I have a few SSD's in laptops and none have even hiccupped yet. Samsung makes them quick and reliable. That is why Samsung is at the top of my list.
