The Samsung 990 PRO is a 2TB, non-heatsink 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 power users seeking fast storage for demanding workloads.
Recommended For
- PC gamers who keep a large game library on one drive and value fast installs, transfers, and game-loading performance; reviews find strong gaming results, though cheaper SSDs can feel similar during play.
- Video editors and other creators who use a PCIe 4.0 desktop or laptop for active projects, scratch files, and frequent large-file transfers, and want a fast consumer drive with onboard DRAM.
- Power users building a high-end PCIe 4.0 system who regularly run storage-heavy applications or move large datasets and want strong random-workload performance as well as fast sequential transfers.
- Laptop builders or upgraders with a compatible M.2 2280 NVMe slot who want flagship PCIe 4.0 performance in a non-heatsink drive; reviewers report that the 990 PRO is power-efficient and can sustain tested speeds without an added heatsink.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a video editor moves large footage files or project media between fast drives, the 990 PRO can shorten transfer waits; the benefit depends on the source drive and workload.
- For a PCIe 4.0 gaming PC with a growing game library, the 2TB drive offers room for more installed titles and can reduce loading waits compared with a slower or older drive; it does not generally increase in-game frame rates.
- As a primary drive in a desktop or laptop, it can keep Windows, frequently used applications, and active projects on one fast SSD; users moving from another good NVMe drive may notice only modest everyday differences.
- For workstation tasks that repeatedly read and write application data—such as photo work or mixed heavy desktop use—the drive can help keep those storage operations moving, though the rest of the system and the specific workload also affect results.

Reference Q&A
Q: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB vs WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB: which should I buy?
A: Choose the 990 PRO if you prioritize its higher rated sequential speeds (up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s read/write) or mixed productivity performance. Choose the SN850X if it costs less or your main priority is gaming: one comparative review found the WD drive faster in some individual game-load tests, while the Samsung led in some other benchmarks. Real-world results vary by workload, so compare current prices and whether you need a heatsink.
Q: Is the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB worth upgrading to from a 980 PRO 2TB?
A: The 990 PRO is the better fit for new builds or workloads that benefit from faster writes and some file-transfer tasks. Reviews show that gaming-load differences can be small and workload-dependent, so a working 980 PRO is usually sufficient if you mainly game or browse. Consider upgrading when you need more capacity or regularly move large files, especially if the 990 PRO costs only a little more.
Q: Should I get the 990 PRO without a heatsink or the heatsink version?
A: Choose this non-heatsink version if your motherboard or device has an M.2 heatsink, or if the drive must fit a compact space. Choose the heatsink version when your system has no suitable M.2 cooling and has clearance for the attached heatsink. Samsung offers both configurations; check your device’s fit and cooling requirements before buying.
Q: Can I use this 990 PRO in a PS5?
A: It can be used as PS5 storage expansion, but this version has no built-in heatsink. Add a compatible heat-dissipation solution that meets Sony’s size requirements before installing it. The drive is 2TB, M.2 2280, and PCIe Gen4 x4.
Q: Does this SSD come with a heatsink?
A: No. This is the non-heatsink version. Check whether your motherboard or device provides suitable M.2 cooling; for PS5 use, add a compatible heatsink or other approved cooling structure.
Q: Will this SSD work in my laptop or desktop?
A: It is suitable for a system with a compatible M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe slot. Check the device manual for slot support, available clearance, and any capacity limits before buying; fit and compatibility vary by system.
Q: Will it work with a PCIe Gen 3 system?
A: Yes, the 990 PRO is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. In a Gen 3 system, its transfer speeds will be limited by that system’s interface and will not reach the stated PCIe 4.0 maximums of up to 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write.
Q: Is the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB worth buying for gaming, or is it overkill?
A: For typical gaming, Reddit discussions suggest that a less expensive NVMe SSD may offer similar practical results; the 990 PRO’s maximum sequential speeds matter more for workloads that move large amounts of data. Its 2TB capacity may still make it a suitable choice if you need the space or want a high-performance PCIe 4.0 drive.
Q: Is the 990 PRO 2TB a good choice for video editing?
A: It is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive rated for up to 7,450 MB/s sequential reads and 6,900 MB/s sequential writes, so it fits a high-speed editing setup. Whether it is worth paying more depends on how often your work involves large file transfers; the listed maximum speeds alone do not establish how much faster a particular editing workflow will be.
Q: Do I need a separate heatsink for the non-heatsink 990 PRO?
A: Check whether your motherboard has an M.2 heatsink for the slot you plan to use. Reddit discussions describe using a motherboard heatsink with the non-heatsink 990 PRO; if your board has none, check its manual and the SSD’s installation guidance before deciding whether to add one.
Q: Should I check the 990 PRO’s firmware before using it?
A: Yes. Reddit discussions raise firmware and drive-health concerns and recommend checking for updates with Samsung Magician. The product details provided do not specify the installed firmware version, so check the drive after installation rather than assuming which version it has.
