    Blazing Fast! Great for PS5!

    When I bought my PlayStation 5, it was pretty clear it would need an additional SSD for storage. 2TB seemed like the best balance between capacity and cost. After doing some research, I narrowed it down to the Samsung 990 Pro and the Western Digital SN850X/SN850P Black, due to a combination of performance and brand recognition/reliability. The Western Digital was at the top of my list, because the SN850P is the officially licensed model and was said to have a heatsink specially designed for the PS5. It was slightly more expensive and slightly lower specs. The SN850X is essentially the same but not licensed for a little less money. The Samsung 990 Pro was my eventual pick, because it seemingly outperformed the WD drives across multiple testing outlets, and it was actually slightly cheaper than the licensed model. The 990 Pro did not disappoint! Zero issues after about a year of use. It is blazing fast! On the new PS5 Pro, the internal console storage took about 5 minutes to copy 600GB of data, whereas the 990 Pro did it in about 30 seconds. Insane! This drive will be relevant for gaming for at least the next few years. Buy with confidence!

    Easy upgrade to T2 PS5

    Have no idea why I waited so long for this upgrade. Maybe because I thought it was gonna be complicated. This was the easiest install ever. And what a difference it makes. Fastest reading and writing speeds I ever seen. Now definitely have lots of room for extra games. Definitely an upgrade needed for gamers.

    Easy PS5 Install but Read Speed a Little Slow

    The SSD looks nice, feels nice, has a nice heatsink, and was a cinch to install. The maximum read speed of the 2TB SSD is advertised as 7450 MB/s but mine tested at install at 6252 MB/s which is a little disappointing as I’ve seen people get faster speeds using an SSD with slower advertised read speeds than this Samsung 990 Pro (and that consequently cost less than Samsung). Playstation states that 5500 MB/s is the minimum required so this is more than adequate, but I was hoping for slightly better read speeds given that this is supposed to be a higher-end SSD and costs a little more than other brands.

    Beast for the PS5

    Got tired if deleting and redoenloading games and running into storage issues. I knew it was my time to make a storage upgrade for my PS5. Followed a youtube vid on the process for SSD install which was super easy. Got it done in about 5 min. Transferred almost a TB worth of data to this SSD and it took about 4 min. I can easily store 20+ PS5 games on this beast. It is a must have! Im set for years to come!

  • I tried asking before but the samsung rep avoided answering me. What support (if any) do you provide for linux users to update the firmware? I dont use the spyware known as apple and microsoft. I use a SBC and my Pironman 5 max has a pcie line for this.

    MeMania: For a Linux user with a 990 PRO SSD, Samsung provides the firmware as a bootable ISO file, which must be manually extracted and run from the command line. Download ISO file and make it as an bootable image by using USB flash drive a. If your system is not able to download or install Magician, you can download the firmware files from our Samsung SSD site. (http://samsung.com/samsungssd ) b. Go to “Firmware” in the menu bar, then you can find the latest firmware ISO File. Should you need assistance, please reach out to Samsung Support at: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory) Available 9AM – 12AM EST (Mon-Fri) - Samsung Memory

    doodookachoo: The 990 PRO SSD does not come with a Windows installer. However, it includes the Samsung Magician software, which is designed to help you manage and optimize your SSD. This software can assist with tasks like firmware updates, performance benchmarking, and data migration. If you need to install Windows on your 990 PRO, you'll need to create a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation files.
