    Fast Real World(4K) performance+Heatsink
    I initially purchased Crucial T705 thinking that it will be the fastest SSD in the market as of today. I was wrong as apparently the new Gen 5 drives have subpar 4k random performance in addition to overheating. To add more insult to the injury, the Crucial T705 would sometimes fail to detect or it would run at 1X speed instead of 4X limiting everything to 900MB/s.PROS: 2TB 990 Pro with heatsink was on sale for $170 when I got it and it is obviously faster in 4K random read/writes vs Crucial T705, which what matters for day to day computing. Drive ASIC controller temperature maximum at sustained writes was 76c with no throttling.CONS: Not a Gen 5 drive as a result the sequential read/writes are not the best. Also, endurance(1200TBW) could be higher; I recommend upgrading Firmware as soon as installed, since it still ships with problematic original launch firmware.

    I recently upgraded my storage solution to the Samsung 990 PRO Series - 1TB PCIe Gen4. X4, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance.

    The PCIe Gen4 interface delivers lightning-fast data transfer speeds, making this SSD an excellent choice for those who demand high-performance storage. Whether you're a gamer, content creator, or power user, the responsiveness of the Samsung 990 PRO Series is truly remarkable.

    The sequential read and write speeds are nothing short of impressive. Large files transfer seamlessly, and the overall system responsiveness is noticeably improved. The 1TB capacity provides ample space for storing games, applications, and multimedia files without compromising speed.

    One standout feature is the reliability of the Samsung 990 PRO Series. The drive utilizes advanced NAND technology and comes with a robust controller, ensuring durability and longevity. This makes it a reliable choice for both demanding workloads and everyday use.

    I also appreciate the heat dissipation design of this SSD. It manages temperature effectively, preventing any performance throttling during prolonged and intensive tasks. The build quality is top-notch, and the drive feels solid and well-constructed.

    The Samsung Magician software adds value to the overall package, offering users tools for monitoring, optimizing, and managing the SSD. Firmware updates are straightforward, and the user interface is intuitive.

    In conclusion, the Samsung 990 PRO Series - 1TB PCIe Gen4. X4 is a stellar performer. It combines impressive speed, reliability, and durability, making it an ideal choice for those who require high-performance storage. While it may come at a premium price, the performance gains are well worth the investment. I highly recommend this SSD for anyone looking to elevate their system's storage capabilities.

    I purchased this SSD for my PS5. The SAMSUNG 990 PRO w/ Heatsink SSD 2TB was very easy to install. Just make sure that you insert it at the proper angle. you should hear a click then the screw hole should line up perfect to be secured down. Once you power up the PS5 it will run the auto setup and when that is complete you will be ready to go. This whole process was WAY EASIER than I thought it would be. The 2TB of storage is plenty of space for all your games and I have noticed a dramatic difference in load times for all games installed on this SSD. I would Highly recommend this SSD for anyone using it for PS5.

    Style: 990 PROCapacity: 4TBVerified Purchase
    I bought the 4TB 990 Pro for my gaming build so I could store every game I own and still have room for more. It has not disappointed, providing speeds within 100 MBps of the advertised 7GBps. The specific SSD that I got was never updated from the original launch firmware and, contrary to what others have said, its speed did not drop and the percent usage did not jump up after a month of use. The only possible reason I can think of for having a different experience is that I used the VRM controller under IRST instead of the standard Windows AHCI controller. Still, since I knew that my drive had a higher chance of failure with the launch firmware, I decided to update it. Unfortunately, Samsung decided not to include support for Intel's VRM controller in the Samsung Magician program, so I had to go through the whole process of disabling IRST in BIOS, booting into Safe Mode, then restarting. Just for reference, I had Magician test the read/write speeds in AHCI mode, and the SSD ran in the range of 600 to 800 MBps slower across the board when in AHCI mode. I was finally able to update the SSD firmware, then I went through the process of re-enabling IRST so I could go back to the prior speeds. When testing the read/write speeds after the firmware update, Magician showed that the drive was running 1 GBps slower than before in IRST mode. Initially, I thought the firmware update had messed up my SSD. However, after remembering that I had CrystalDiskMark, I decided to set both DiskMark and Magician to the same parameters and test the drive again once using each. As it turns out, Samsung Magician was under-reporting the speeds, possibly by erroneously including random speeds in the calculations for average sequential speeds. If Samsung Magician shows that your SSD's performance has dropped significantly, I highly recommend double-checking using another program that can check disk read/write speeds, because chances are, your SSD is fine but Samsung Magician is bugged and displaying the wrong information. In short, this SSD works as advertised, Samsung has really had trouble with the programming side of things, and the SSD works better under the IRST VRM controller, even with the original firmware.

    This SSD was super easy to install and it was immediately recognized by the console, it required to be formatted which was done very quick and was ready in no time.

    Produto muito bom. De fácil instalação.
    Porém, recomendo o pente de 2Tb que ao que parece está com o preço muito bom nesta semana

    I recently upgraded my PC's storage with the SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, and the results have been nothing short of astounding!

    First and foremost, the speed of this SSD is jaw-dropping. With PCIe 4.0 support, it delivers lightning-fast read and write speeds that have significantly improved the overall performance of my system. Loading times are virtually nonexistent, and large files transfer in the blink of an eye. If you're looking for a drive to turbocharge your gaming or professional work, this is it.

    The 2TB capacity offers ample space for all my files, games, and applications. It's perfect for content creators, gamers, or anyone who needs high-speed storage with room to spare. Installation was a breeze thanks to its M.2 form factor, and the included software makes migration painless.

    The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Samsung. The drive runs cool and quiet, even under heavy workloads. Plus, Samsung's reputation for reliability gives me peace of mind knowing my data is safe.

    While it may be on the higher end of the price spectrum, the performance gains are well worth the investment. If you're serious about speed and storage, the SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 is the SSD to get. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
