SAMSUNG 990 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen5 Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen5 Solid State Drive is designed for client PCs that demand rapid storage throughput without sacrificing power efficiency. Built on Samsung's own NAND flash memory, this drive uses a dual-interface design — PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x2 — through the NVMe 2.0 protocol, allowing it to slot into a wide range of modern motherboards while delivering sequential read speeds of up to 7,150 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,300 MB/s. A standout feature of the 990 EVO Plus is its nickel-coated controller, which Samsung states increases MB/s per watt by 73% compared to its predecessor. This efficiency gain translates into lower operating temperatures and reduced load on laptop battery life, making the drive suitable for both desktop builds and thin-and-light notebooks equipped with an M.2 2280 slot. The drive ships without a heatsink, keeping the footprint compact at a maximum of 80.15 × 22.15 × 2.38 mm and a maximum weight of 9.0 g — important considerations for small-form-factor or tightly packed builds. Samsung Magician software is available as a companion utility, providing tools for performance benchmarking, data migration from an existing drive, health monitoring, and firmware updates — all without requiring third-party applications.
