However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 7450 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)

Very cool SSD, best price on Best Buy
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!
