Absolutely Obliterated My Old SATA SSD – A Must-Have for Gamers
As a PC builder and heavy gamer, my old SATA SSD was becoming a serious bottleneck for my i7-12700K and RTX 5070 Ti system. I chose the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB to be my new primary OS and games drive, and the difference is staggering. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete transformation.Real-World Performance: The Numbers Don’t LieThe specs are impressive (up to 7,250 MB/s read), but the real-world results are what matter. Here’s what I saw after cloning my Windows 11 Pro installation and my main games over:Windows Boot Time: Cut from ~25 seconds to under 8 seconds.Game Load Times: Loading into my save file in Cyberpunk 2077 went from over 30 seconds to about 9 seconds. Levels in other demanding games load almost instantly.File Transfers: Moving a 100GB game folder from my old drive to this one took just a couple of minutes, a task that used to take over 15 minutes.The PCIe Gen 4 interface is the key here. Day-to-day use is incredibly snappy, and the drive doesn’t slow down even when installing a huge game while running other programs, thanks to the Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 cache.Installation & A Note on HeatsinksThe M.2 2280 form factor made installation a breeze on my ASUS PRIME Z690-P motherboard. One of the main “cons” of this drive is that it doesn’t include a heatsink. This was not an issue for me, as my motherboard has its own built-in M.2 heatsinks which keep the drive running cool under load. However, if your motherboard doesn’t have one, I’d recommend buying a cheap M.2 heatsink to ensure you don’t get any thermal throttling during intense, long gaming sessions.Final Verdict: Worth Every Penny for a High-End BuildWhile the Samsung 990 EVO Plus is a premium drive with a premium price, it’s one of the most impactful upgrades I’ve ever made to my PC. The sheer speed and responsiveness it brings to the entire system are undeniable. If you have a PCIe Gen 4 compatible system and you’re still using an older SATA SSD or a slower NVMe drive, this is a no-brainer. It unlocks the full potential of your other components.I’ve attached a photo of the drive installed on my motherboard under the heatsink. Highly recommended!

Ultra-fast and reliable performance
The 1TB Samsung SSD 990 EVO Plus was an amazing upgrade for my PC. Installation in M.2 format was quick and easy, and I noticed the difference from the very first boot: the read and write speeds are incredibly fast, making the system and programs instantly responsive. Furthermore, HMB and Intelligent Turbowrite technologies optimize performance without sacrificing stability. It’s reassuring to know that it’s PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 compatible, ensuring my system is future-proof. Without a doubt, it’s a purchase worth every penny for the speed and reliability it offers.

Blazing Fast External Storage and Essential for my Video Editing Workflows
My primary need was a portable solution for storing and actively editing large video assets and project files without cluttering the internal drives of my various Macs. It had to be fast enough to handle high-bitrate 4K footage without lag or dropped frames.The Setup: Perfect SynergyI paired the Samsung 990 EVO 1TB SSD (PCIe Gen 4×4, Gen 5×2) with a Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure. The combination is absolute perfection. I formatted the drive as APFS for seamless integration with the macOS ecosystem.Performance: Truly Internal-Equivalent SpeedThis is where the 990 EVO truly shines. The speed is lightning fast. I can confidently edit multi-track video projects directly off this external drive.Real-World Speed: The performance is so responsive that it is virtually indistinguishable from having the SSD installed directly inside the computer. This incredible speed and efficiency have been a game-changer, allowing me to jump between desktop and laptop Macs instantly without asset transfer delays.Reliability: I’ve used faulty external drives in the past, leading to lost work. This Samsung drive is rock-solid and has not given me a single error or performance hiccup.Investment Value and ReliabilityGiven its performance and build quality, the Samsung 990 EVO is an incredibly effective and valuable investment for any creative professional. It offers the speed and reliability needed for production work at a price point that makes it a smart choice over proprietary external solutions. I fully intend to purchase more of these drives as my storage needs grow.Final VerdictIf you are a Mac user or professional needing portable, internal-equivalent SSD speeds for resource-intensive tasks like video editing, the Samsung 990 EVO is the gold standard. Highly recommended.

This 2 TB (actually only 1.8 Tb without overprovisioning about 1.6Tb with the recommended overprovisioning) is top shelf in SSD. You really cannot beat it and its read and write speed is currently the best you can get. If you also count in the 5 year warranty you cannot go wrong. Team this with Samsung Magician 8 software and you are set (for 5 years anyway).A nice piece of hardware for your PC or laptop.

Excellent performance even though it’s DRAMLESS SSD. Even if the longevity is lower than the pro version, it’s still worth getting if you are on a budget

Produto original. Fiquei na dúvida por causa dos lacres chineses, mas o circuito controlador é da Samsung. Após instalação testei com o aplicativo Samsung Magician, comprovando a autenticidade, e finalmente em teste de carga alcançou velocidades próximas da máxima. Recomendo o vendedor!
