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

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB is a high-performance M.2 NVMe solid state drive designed for client PCs that demand rapid storage throughput without the power overhead typically associated with flagship drives. Leveraging a dual-mode interface — PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x2 — and complying with the NVMe 2.0 specification, it slots into any M.2 2280 slot and scales effectively with both current-generation and next-generation motherboard platforms. Sequential read speeds reach up to 7,250 MB/s and sequential writes up to 6,300 MB/s, making large file transfers, game load times, and creative workloads noticeably faster compared to previous-generation PCIe 4.0 drives. Samsung's nickel-coated controller is engineered to improve performance-per-watt efficiency by 73% relative to the prior EVO generation — translating to lower operating temperatures and reduced battery draw in laptop configurations. With a 1,200 TBW (terabytes written) endurance rating for the 2TB capacity, the 990 EVO Plus is well-suited for sustained daily workloads over a multi-year ownership period. Samsung backs the drive with a five-year limited warranty, providing long-term peace of mind. Companion software — Samsung Magician — offers drive health monitoring, performance benchmarking, firmware update delivery, and a secure data migration tool for users upgrading from an existing drive. No third-party utilities are required to manage the SSD after installation.
