The Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink is a 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD with sequential speeds up to 7,450MB/s read and 6,900MB/s write, suited to high-performance gaming, workstations, and other demanding computing workloads.
Recommended For
- PC gamers with a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot who want a 4TB library drive for games and quick installs or transfers; reviewers measured high peak performance, while noting most games may not use the drive’s full transfer rates.
- PS5 owners looking to add 4TB of game storage who want an SSD with a pre-installed heatsink; Samsung lists this model as PS5-compatible.
- Workstation users who frequently open, copy, or work with large project files and have a PCIe 4.0 NVMe system that can take advantage of a high-end SSD.
- Desktop builders who want a pre-installed SSD heatsink and whose M.2 slot has enough room for it, especially if the system does not provide a suitable M.2 heatsink.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a PS5 owner runs out of internal space, the 4TB drive can hold a larger library of installed games, reducing the need to delete and reinstall titles to make room.
- For a PS5 player installing games on the expansion drive, the preinstalled heatsink supports use in the console’s M.2 slot; games remain playable from the added storage without relying on an external drive for PS5 titles.
- On a gaming PC, it can serve as a high-capacity game drive for someone who wants to keep several large titles installed and load game data from fast local storage; actual load times still vary by game and system.
- For video or creative work involving large media files, it can store active project assets and help move files between fast local storage and other drives; editing and export times also depend on the processor, software, and workload.
- In a compatible desktop workstation, it can act as a fast system or project drive for frequently used applications and files, with the heatsink helping manage drive heat during demanding storage activity.

Reference Q&A
Q: Samsung 990 PRO 4TB or WD_BLACK SN850X 4TB—which should I buy?
A: Both are high-performance PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and benchmark results can vary by workload. Choose the 990 PRO with Heatsink if you want a preinstalled heatsink and Samsung Magician features; choose the SN850X if it offers the capacity and performance you need at a lower price. For gaming and everyday use, compare the specific models’ price and heatsink configuration rather than assuming a large real-world speed difference.
Q: Is the Samsung 990 PRO 4TB worth upgrading to from a 980 PRO?
A: The 990 PRO has higher rated sequential speeds, and independent file-transfer testing found it faster than the 980 PRO in the tested workloads. It makes more sense for a new build, a capacity increase, or frequent large file transfers than as a replacement for a working 980 PRO used mainly for gaming. Actual gains depend on the workload and system.
Q: Is the 990 PRO with Heatsink 4TB a good fit for a PS5?
A: Yes. Samsung lists this 4TB model as PS5-compatible, and the preinstalled heatsink provides the drive’s heatsink without requiring a separate one. Check that the console’s installation space is clear and follow Sony’s M.2 installation instructions before buying or installing it.
Q: Should I choose the 990 PRO 4TB with a heatsink or the version without one?
A: Choose the heatsink version when your system needs the SSD’s own cooling solution, such as a PS5 installation, or when you want a ready-to-install heatsink. Choose the bare version if your motherboard or device already has a compatible M.2 heatsink. Check clearance before purchasing: Samsung lists the heatsink model at up to 8.88 mm high and says not to remove its heatsink.
Q: Is this 4TB SSD suitable for adding storage to a PS5?
A: Yes. The 990 PRO with heatsink is a 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD listed as compatible with PS5. Its integrated heatsink is part of the drive; confirm your console model’s installation requirements before buying.
Q: Will the heatsink version fit in my laptop or desktop?
A: It uses an M.2 2280 connection, but the attached heatsink needs physical clearance. Check the device’s slot dimensions and manufacturer guidance before installing it, especially in a laptop; a drive that fits the M.2 slot may still not fit under the cover.
Q: Will it reach its advertised speeds in my computer?
A: The drive is rated for sequential speeds of up to 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write. Those are maximum ratings; the system must support PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe to use its full interface capability, and actual speeds can vary by device and workload.
Q: Do I need a separate heatsink for this SSD?
A: No separate heatsink is needed for the listed model: it includes an integrated heatsink designed to help manage heat. Before installing it, check that your device has enough clearance and follow its installation guidance.
Q: Is the 4TB Samsung 990 PRO with heatsink a suitable PS5 expansion, and do I need 4TB?
A: Reddit users report using the 990 PRO with heatsink in PS5 consoles. The 4TB capacity is most useful if you want to keep many large games installed; commenters note that 2TB may be enough for a smaller library. The product data lists this model as PS5-compatible.
Q: Will the heatsink version fit in a laptop?
A: Do not assume it will. Reddit discussions raise clearance concerns with laptop batteries and trays, and users report that heatsink dimensions can be a limiting factor. Check the laptop’s M.2 bay clearance and installation guidance before buying; a bare M.2 drive may be a better fit when space is limited.
Q: Can I install the heatsink version if my motherboard has its own M.2 heatsink?
A: It depends on the motherboard slot and available clearance. Reddit users discuss cases where the motherboard cover and the SSD’s built-in heatsink cannot both be used. Check the motherboard manual for the slot’s heatsink instructions and physical clearance before purchasing.
