SAMSUNG 990 Pro 2TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD ) ( With Heatsink )

The Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD with Heatsink is a high-performance internal solid-state drive built for demanding PC builders, content creators, and console gamers alike. Running on the PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 protocol, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,450 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,900 MB/s, placing it at the upper end of what the PCIe 4.0 standard can offer today. Underpinning that speed is Samsung's own V-NAND 3-bit MLC (TLC) flash memory, paired with a 2 GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM cache. The combination of Samsung's in-house controller and DRAM cache allows the drive to sustain high random I/O throughput — rated at up to 1,400K read IOPS and 1,550K write IOPS for the 2TB capacity — making it equally capable for game loading, large file transfers, and OS workloads. The bundled slim heatsink plays an active role in maintaining consistent performance. By dissipating heat away from the controller and NAND packages, the heatsink helps suppress thermal throttling during sustained workloads such as large game installs or 4K video editing sessions. The heatsink's slim profile meets the PCI-SIG D8 standard, making it compatible with PlayStation 5, standard ATX desktops, and laptops that accommodate full-height M.2 modules. Samsung also includes Magician software, a utility that enables drive health monitoring, firmware updates, performance optimisation, and LED colour customisation for the heatsink's RGB lighting.
