Samsung 990 EVO Plus, 2TB, PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2, NVMe2.0 (up to 7250 MB/s), NVMe M.2 (2280), Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), MZ-V9S2T0BW

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!

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.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB SSD has been a fantastic upgrade for my PC. Speeds are absolutely blistering—Samsung’s claim of up to 7250 MB/s reads true in real-world use, whether it’s gaming, video editing, or large file transfers. Installation was straightforward, fitting neatly into my M.2 slot with no issues. The drive stays cool thanks to efficient thermal management, and it’s noticeably faster than my previous PCIe 3.0 SSD, making boot times and application launches much snappier. The 2TB capacity is generous, giving me plenty of space for games, software, and projects without worrying about running out of storage. Plus, Samsung’s reputation for reliability and excellent software support makes this a very reassuring choice. If you’re looking for a top-tier NVMe SSD to future-proof your build, the 990 EVO Plus is hard to beat—great performance, great capacity, and solid endurance. Highly recommended!

Easy to install and works very well

Great M2, fast transfer speeds and good value.

Bought this ssd before the prices had gone silly... works at full speed flawlessly... I use it purely as a game storage drive it is much faster than my kioxia ssd I have in the same motherboard.... both are gen 4

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.

Top, fais son boulot, qualité samsung

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

Now it’s good performance my victus laptop. Don’t use 990Evo pro because it need heat sink. Laptop don’t have space. If you want you can use thermal pad it will go faster speed.
