The Samsung 990 Pro 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD moves data at 7450MB/s for high-intensity computing. It utilizes the Pascal controller to stabilize throughput during heavy 4K video editing. This M.2 2280 drive works with the PS5 and PCIe 4.0 compatible motherboards.
Key Features
- 7450MB/s Read Speed: Reaches the maximum limit of the PCIe 4.0 interface. Large game assets load without visible delays.
- Pascal 8nm Controller: Manages thermal output through a nickel coating. Sustains peak speeds during long hours in high humidity.
- 1200 TBW Endurance: Supports 1,200 terabytes of total data writes. Hardware remains reliable through five years of heavy professional use.
- 2GB LPDDR4 DRAM: Dedicated cache handles internal mapping tables. Random access stays fast even when storage capacity reaches 90%.
- 50% Efficiency Gain: Consumes less power per watt than the 980 Pro. Laptops run cooler and battery life lasts longer.
- 5-Year Warranty: Manufacturer backing for 60 months of operation. Protects against hardware failure within the 1200 TBW limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Samsung 990 Pro 2TB compatible with PS5?
Yes, it meets the required 5500MB/s sequential read speed for the console. The M.2 2280 form factor fits the internal expansion slot.
Does Samsung 990 Pro 2TB need a heatsink?
The drive uses a heat spreader label but lacks a physical finned heatsink. High-performance PC builds may require a motherboard heatsink to prevent thermal throttling.
