Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD, 2 TB, PCIe 4.0, 7,450 MB/s read, 6,900 MB/s write, Internal SSD, For gaming and video editing, MZ-V9P2T0BW

I picked this up mainly for gaming and video editing. It came in simple but effective packaging, was easy to install, and was quickly enabled using Windows Disk Manager.Running WinSAT gives the following results:Disk Random 16.0 Read: 2259.58 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read: 6100.51 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Write: 5351.59 MB/sCompared to my Crucial M.2 drive, this is a noticeable improvement. Load times are quicker, and everything just feels more responsive.Only thing missing was the motherboard screw, which would’ve been handy. Other than that, no complaints.Very pleased so far.

This is a needed item if you are on your PS5 consistently as your storage runs out very quickly, 500 GB is not enough.It was easy to install, it's compatible, the boot time is instant, it's very reliable, there is little to no noise.This item isn't necessarily only for the PS5, you can also install it on other consoles or your PC/laptop.Anyway, you are paying for a quality item and it's worth it.

Blazing fast speed as promised. Might be that my product which was a return was already utilised quite heavily as it had 700+GB written according to the Samsung magician software when I had just installed Windows

I recently upgraded my work computer with the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, and it has completely transformed my system! The read/write speeds (up to 7450 MB/s) are mind-blowing, and my work-related tasks have become noticeably faster. Whether it's booting up the system, loading large files, or running multiple applications, everything is incredibly snappy. The installation was easy, and I love the reliable performance that comes with the Samsung brand. If you're looking for a high-speed SSD for work or personal use, this one is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended!

Great does what it’s says on the box, delivered on time too

This drive has been reviewed to deah so I will just point out some issues I ran into.- It does not support 4k LBA format, just standard 512. Yes, it is still fast despite this but considering Samsung's OEM versions (PM9A1, older PM981(a), etc.) support it - it is a strange omission.- At least on my systems, based on Asus Z590, Z790 it throws WHEA warnings (corrected errors) that seem to be due to PCIe state transition (L1/L2). These can go if you disable PCIe power management or put the drive in "high performance" via Samsung' Magician but this should not be needed.Not everyone seems to be affected and other drives are reported to cause it but I have never come across these before having had many various drives.- Firmware by now has sorted the high wear-out issues but to be honest it should have never happened considering the long history Samsung have developing SSDs.All in all, I prefer the WD SN 850 X/P series at similar cost that supports 4k LBA and does not seem to throw any warnings. But you make your own choice, pity there are not many other choices at the high end.

Upgraded to the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, and the performance leap is incredible. Boot times are nearly instant, and large file transfers complete in seconds. The drive stays cool even under heavy workloads, thanks to Samsung's thermal control technology. Installation was straightforward, and Samsung's Magician software made setup a breeze.
