The Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink is a 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with sequential speeds up to 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write, suited to gamers and PC users seeking fast storage for demanding workloads.
Recommended For
- PS5 owners adding M.2 storage for installed PS5 games who want a compatible PCIe 4.0 drive with its heatsink already fitted.
- PC gamers with a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot who want a high-end drive for game installs and asset loading, rather than a basic storage upgrade.
- Video editors, 3D artists, and data-heavy PC users who regularly move or work with large files and can use fast PCIe 4.0 storage.
- Desktop builders whose M.2 slot has suitable clearance and who want an SSD with its own heatsink instead of relying on a motherboard heatsink.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a PS5 owner runs short on internal space, install the 990 PRO in the M.2 slot to store and play compatible PS5 and PS4 games directly from the added drive, rather than repeatedly moving games to external storage.
- For a gaming PC with a compatible M.2 slot, use the drive for frequently played games or as a game-library drive; reviews test game loading on the 990 PRO, though load-time gains vary by game and system and do not mean higher frame rates.
- When editing video or working with large creative-project assets, use the 990 PRO for project files and media so asset access and large file operations are less likely to be held back by slower storage; actual editing and export times also depend on the rest of the system.
- For transferring large files between fast drives in a desktop PC, use the 990 PRO as the destination or source drive; the benefit is most relevant when the other drive and system can keep up with the transfer.
- During extended gaming or other demanding use, the integrated heatsink provides a cooling structure without requiring a separate add-on; check the host device’s fit and compatibility requirements before installation.

Reference Q&A
Q: Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink or WD_BLACK SN850X with Heatsink for a PS5?
A: Both are PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives with factory-installed heatsinks, and independent testing finds their real-world game-loading performance is broadly similar. Choose the 990 PRO if you prefer Samsung’s drive and its higher rated sequential speeds; choose the SN850X if it costs less when you buy. The rated speed difference alone is unlikely to decide ordinary PS5 gameplay.
Q: Is the 990 PRO worth upgrading to from a Samsung 980 PRO?
A: The 990 PRO is the stronger choice for new builds or workloads that benefit from faster random access and sequential transfers: Samsung rates the 1TB model at up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s read/write, compared with up to 7,000/5,000 MB/s for the 980 PRO. For everyday use or gaming, the difference may not justify replacing a working 980 PRO; consider upgrading when you need more capacity or handle frequent large file transfers.
Q: Should I choose the Samsung 990 PRO or the 990 EVO Plus?
A: Choose the 990 PRO for a high-performance drive used for demanding transfers or heavy storage workloads: its 1TB model has onboard DRAM and higher rated maximum read and write speeds. The 990 EVO Plus is a reasonable alternative for general PC use when its price or capacity is more attractive; Samsung specifies up to 7,150/6,300 MB/s and uses Host Memory Buffer rather than onboard DRAM. Both use an M.2 2280 form factor and support PCIe 4.0.
Q: Samsung 990 PRO or WD_BLACK SN850X for a gaming PC?
A: Either is a high-end PCIe 4.0 option for a gaming PC. The 990 PRO has higher rated sequential read and write speeds, while reviews show that game-focused benchmark results can vary by test and do not always favor the same drive. Choose the 990 PRO if you also prioritize its rated transfer performance; choose the SN850X if it offers better value for your build. For typical game loading, prioritize capacity and price over small differences in headline speeds.
Q: Will this SSD work in a PS5?
A: Yes. This 1TB drive is listed as PS5-compatible and has a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, an M.2 2280 form factor, and an integrated heatsink. Confirm the heatsink’s dimensions fit your console’s M.2 bay before installation.
Q: Will it fit in my laptop or desktop?
A: It can fit a laptop or desktop that supports an M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe drive and has enough physical clearance for the attached heatsink. Check your device’s slot and clearance requirements before buying; an M.2 slot alone does not guarantee the heatsink will fit.
Q: Does this SSD come with a heatsink?
A: Yes. The heatsink is integrated, so this version does not require a separate heatsink for cooling. Check your device’s clearance before installation because the heatsink is part of the drive.
Q: Will it actually reach 7,450 MB/s?
A: 7,450 MB/s is the listed maximum sequential read speed, not a guaranteed speed in every device or workload. Actual results depend on the host system and usage; Best Buy Q&A includes a buyer asking about a lower-than-advertised PS5 read-speed result.
Q: Is the 990 PRO with Heatsink compatible with a PS5?
A: Yes. This 1TB model is listed as PS5-compatible and includes a heatsink. A Reddit PS5 expansion discussion says an M.2 drive needs effective heat dissipation, and a YouTube video shows this heatsink version being installed in a PS5.
Q: Is the 990 PRO worth choosing over a cheaper PS5 SSD?
A: Choose it if you want a high-spec PCIe 4.0 drive with an included heatsink. Reddit users discussing PS5 expansion report that faster drives may not noticeably improve game loading over drives that already meet the console’s requirements, so compare price and capacity before paying more for speed.
Q: Should I choose this 1TB 990 PRO or a 2TB SSD with slightly lower speeds?
A: Choose based on how much storage you need. The 990 PRO offers up to 7,450 MB/s sequential reads, but Reddit users comparing 1TB and 2TB PS5 drives discuss favoring the larger capacity when the speed difference is unlikely to be noticeable in play.
Q: Do I need to buy a separate heatsink for this SSD?
A: No. This is the heatsink-equipped version, so it includes a heatsink rather than requiring you to purchase and install one separately. Check that the installed drive fits your device’s M.2 slot and clearance requirements.
