Our take on the Samsung 990 PRO SSD 1TB

The Samsung 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 internal SSD rated at up to 7,450 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write. It is Samsung's top Gen4 drive, aimed at gamers, creators and anyone upgrading a laptop or desktop with an M.2 slot. Its 600 TBW endurance and 1.5 million hour MTBF are strong for a 1TB consumer drive, and it competes with other high-end Gen4 drives rather than budget models. Owners rate it highly for speed and reliability, though some note it runs warm and needs a heatsink under sustained load.

Questions and answers

Is the 990 PRO worth it over a cheaper Gen4 SSD?
If you want top Gen4 speeds, high endurance and Samsung's software support, yes. Budget Gen4 drives are slower and often have lower TBW ratings.
Does it fit a PlayStation 5?
It is an M.2 2280 Gen4 drive, which matches the PS5 slot, but Sony requires a heatsink. The standard version has none, so pick a heatsink model or add one.
Will it work in a Gen3 laptop?
Yes, it is backward compatible, but speeds drop to Gen3 limits. You would be paying for performance the slot cannot use.
What is in the box?
The drive itself. No heatsink, cable or mounting screw is included, so check your motherboard has an M.2 screw.
How long will 1TB last?
The 600 TBW rating covers years of normal gaming and everyday use. Heavy video work writes more, so creators may want 2TB.
Does it need a heatsink?
For everyday use and gaming, usually not. For long sustained writes, a heatsink keeps temperatures and speeds steadier.
Where is the Samsung 990 PRO SSD 1TB cheapest?
At Newegg, for $287.75, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Samsung 990 PRO SSD 1TB?
Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 1,289 ratings.
