Samsung 990 EVO Plus, 1TB, PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2, NVMe2.0 (up to 7150 MB/s), NVMe M.2 (2280), Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), MZ-V9S1T0BW

If you’re upgrading your storage, this is a serious performance boost. The 2TB capacity gives you plenty of room for games, large projects and general files without constantly juggling space. Speeds are where this drive really stands out. With sequential read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s, everything feels snappy. Boot times are quick, large game installs load fast, and transferring big files doesn’t drag. It’s ideal for gaming, content creation or heavy workloads. It supports PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2, so it’s flexible depending on your motherboard. Installation is straightforward if you’ve fitted an M.2 drive before. Just make sure your system supports the interface to get the full benefit. Thermal control is solid. The heat spreader label and Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard help keep temperatures stable under load. It can warm up during sustained transfers, as expected, but performance stays consistent. Overall, this is a reliable high-performance SSD that delivers exactly what you’d expect from Samsung’s NVMe range.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB is an absolute beast of an SSD. Speeds are fast, boot times are instant, and large file transfers happen in seconds. The installation was simple, and it runs cool and stable even under heavy workloads. It's perfect for gaming, editing, or expanding storage. Tons of space and top-tier performance, i highly recommend!

Picked up the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe (PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2) for my daughter’s build, and it’s been absolutely flawless. Installation was simple, recognised instantly, and it’s seriously quick. Boot times are snappy, game loads are near instant, and file transfers feel effortless. Rated up to 7250 MB/s — and it genuinely feels like it. Thermals have been solid too, even under heavier use, and overall it’s just the kind of drive you install and forget about — in a good way. Now, full honesty moment… I did briefly consider swapping it into my own machine because it’s slightly better than what I’m running. Strong temptation. Very strong. But parental honour prevailed. If you’re building a modern system and want a fast, reliable 2TB NVMe that’ll handle gaming and general workloads without blinking, this is a fantastic choice. Five stars. Fast enough to make you question your own storage decisions.

I have 2 of these now and theyre the best balance of quality and affordability in an M.2 drive. I trust samsung SSDs more than any others and these especially are a great speed for higher capacity storage. They do get warm when under heavy use but all m.2 will so makesure theyre attached to a heat sink and you wont have any problems.

📦 Packaging & First Impressions Arrives in Samsung’s signature minimalist packaging: a protective plastic shell with the SSD and a 5-year warranty leaflet. No heatsink included, but the slim M.2 2280 form factor fits easily into most builds. ⚙️ Performance & Specs Sequential Read Speed: Up to 7,250 MB/s Sequential Write Speed: Up to 6,300 MB/s Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4 / PCIe 5.0 x2 Form Factor: M.2 2280 NAND Type: 133-layer stacked TLC NAND Controller: Samsung in-house controller Endurance: 1,200 TBW (Terabytes Written) for the 2TB model Warranty: 5 years The 990 EVO Plus delivers a 45% performance boost over its predecessor, the 980 EVO Plus, thanks to improved NAND and controller technology. 🔄 Compatibility & Efficiency Compatible with both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 slots, offering flexibility for various systems. Samsung's Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 technology utilizes a larger buffer to provide sustained performance for processing large amounts of data faster than ever. 🔥 Thermals & Power Efficiency While it doesn't include a heatsink, the drive maintains reasonable temperatures under load. Its power efficiency is improved over previous models, making it suitable for both desktop and laptop use cases. ✅ Pros High-speed performance: Excellent read/write speeds for demanding applications. Wide compatibility: Works with both PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 systems. Power-efficient: Improved energy efficiency compared to previous models. Reliable brand: Samsung's reputation for quality and durability. ❌ Cons No heatsink: May require additional cooling solutions in high-performance builds. DRAM-less design: While performance is strong, some high-end workloads may benefit from DRAM cache. 💭 Final Verdict The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe SSD offers a compelling balance of speed, efficiency, and value. It's an excellent choice for gamers, content creators, and professionals seeking reliable storage without breaking the bank. Just ensure your system provides adequate cooling for optimal performance.

Fantastic value - as bought before recent massive price increases - really high spec and fast drive. Samsung tools are, unfortunately, not the best for cloning a drive. Not as intuitive as the WD ones.

L'SSD Samsung 990 EVO Plus (versione da 1TB) arriva in un packaging compatto interamente in cartoncino con fogli illustrativi. La presenza di un rigonfiamento sigillato nel blister interno, mi aveva fatto sperare avessero incluso la vite M2 e si trovasse li, ma sfortunatamente mi sbagliavo. Questo SSD ha interfaccia PCIe 5.0 (ed è retro-compatibile con le precedenti generazioni). Il controller utilizzato Samsung Piccolo S4LY022, e l'uso di cache HMB, sono le le uniche cose che lo differenziano dal più costoso Samsung 990 Pro, che usa Samsung Pascal S4LV008 e DRAM cache; le memorie NAND su 990 EVO Plus sono infatti le stesse V8 V-NAND. Risultati benchmark: - Velocità lettura sequenziale: 7100MB/s - Velocità scrittura sequenziale: 6125MB/s - Velocità di lettura file casuale grande 4096 Bytes con input singolo da parte di un unico richiedente: 99MB/s - Velocità di scrittura file casuale grande 4096 Bytes con input singolo da parte di un unico richiedente: 350MB/s Il firmware è arrivato già aggiornato. Il trasferimento dalla vecchia unità utilizzando Samsung Magician (scaricabile gratuitamente dal sito Samsung) è davvero semplicissimo. L'SSD una volta installato viene riconosciuto immediatamente, però non è visibile tra i volumi di archiviazione perchè non è presente il volume logico e non è formattato. Perciò non fatevi prendere dal panico se, subito dopo l'installazione, non vedete nulla nella sezione "Questo PC". CONCLUSIONI SSD di qualità che pur essendo HMB (senza DRAM cache) usa le NAND Samsung di fascia alta di nuova generazione che garantiscono alte prestazioni, affidabilità con produzione di calore relativamente bassa e consumi contenuti. Solo non si spiega il rifiuto categorico d'includere una minuscola vite dal costo irrisorio. NOTA L'SSD non ha dissipatore incluso e può tranquillamente farne a meno, non essendo un modello che tende a surriscaldare, ma è sempre positivo applicarne uno in scenari d'uso intensivi.

Everything great

It's a good product, it's a shame it wasn't compatible with my laptop

Super decent, ssd from Samsung. Only affordable high tier in Europe. International shortages. Base storage items should not be so consumer unfriendly with pricing. A++
