High writing speeds and storage for gaming
I got this to replace my prebuilt PC but to also use as a second SSD. Turns out it might be better to just use it as a dedicated storage so I dont have to redownload everything and reformat all the drives. I did download a clean install of windows on it but then decided to stick with my other one and use this for videos and gaming storage.Installing it was easy, normal SSD size but I DID notice it psychically felt better than my intel one from my prebuilt. You can feel quality! The SSD is all black and has 2 stickers on the back for heat distribution which helps along with my heatsink. It runs BETTER even in the 2nd SSD slot with fast writing speeds and noticeably faster transferring files.I’m not a huge tech person even though I do game and build my own PC, whoah I know lol, but even I can tell the samsung 990 evo is a beast, and that says something if I out of everyone can see that!Highly reccomended.

Great upgrade, great price
Replace the battery, upgraded memory and upgraded HD all at once. Took me about 20 minutes and was very easy. The HD seems fast so far with a clean windows install and a great price for a T worth of space.

Great product.
I give this product a 10/10. I had just gotten a skytech gaming PC, and had to add in this 1TB. My computer was pretty fast before this was installed, but now it is even faster and then start up is insane. I currently use this to store certain things on my computer. Will definitely help boost speed if that’s what you’re looking for. This is my first PC ever and I am very happy to have gotten this in. The design is simple, the quality is top notch and overall the functionality of it is great.Will definitely be purchasing in the future if I ever decide to Amp it up a bit more.

If cloning OS drive to this, get an M2 enclosure
Got it on sale. Been using EVO 960 and EVO 970 in other builds, and they’re fast and fantastic. On a mini PC I have, the OS was on an 2.5″ SSD. I slapped an M2 SSD in, and could replicate the OS to it no problem. But, wife’s laptop had a 125GB M2 SSD as only drive. Didn’t have a 2.5″ SSD. Got this 1TB EVO 990 as a nice replacement. Saw vids showing how to use an M2 enclosure to easily replicate a laptops old M2 OS drive to the new replacement. But, that would cost $30, I had a 2.5″ SSD + 2.5″ enclosure already, and I was being cheap. So, I replicated the OS drive to the 2.5″ external, tore apart her laptop, installed the blank 1TB EVO 990, and tried booting from external 2.5″ SSD. Laptop DID NOT want to boot. Kept going into Windows Recovery like the Windows install was corrupted. Spent 2 days messing around with options. FINALLY.. just popped $30 to buy an M2 enclosure (like I should have from the start). Ripped her laptop apart again, put the old 125GB M2 SSD in, booted.. got into Windows. Put the 1TB EVO 990 into the M2 enclosure. Plugged in, recognized as external drive. Replicated OS drive to it. Tried booting from it, but laptop acted like it was corrupted again. At this point, I figured the laptop was just prima donna and had issues booting from external drives. So, on a leap of faith I ripped apart her laptop AGAIN and slapped the cloned 1TB EVO 990 in. After putting it all back together AGAIN, it booted just fine into Windows, and now she has TONS of drive space left.So, if you’re getting this as a replacement for a laptop’s M2 drive… don’t be stupid like me and waste a bunch of time. Just buy an M2 Enclosure and make replication easy on yourself.I ran some winsat times on my old EVO 960 vs EVO 990, and the 990 is getting ~1000 MB/s on random 16 vs the 960 ~1400 MB/s. So, the 990 seems slower there.But, on the 64 bit read/write, 990 is getting ~3200 MB/s on BOTH, while the 960 is getting ~3000 on the read and ~1800 on the write.So, the 990 is blazing along. It’s also newer than the 960 I have, which may be seeing wear-n-tear impact performance. So, I may eventually get one of these to replace my 960, too.like 3200 MB/s on

Fast and good on sale
Samsung is very reliable for an ssd however a bit expensive better on sale. Wish there was instructions in the box for formatting, and the small ssd screw to hold it in place.

BE AWARE !! THIS IS A 5TH GEN PCIE SSD IT WILL NOT RUN ON UNSUPPORTED MOTHERBOARDS !
So on the look out for a good upgraded for my Lenovo YOGA 7 laptop (2023 model) i came across this SSD, fairly priced, trusted brand, fast shipping. perfect. the only downside ( and error on my part really) is that this is and 5th gen PCIE ssd, since the 5TH gen stander is not yet massively incorporated on the tech world a lot of people could get confused and purchase this by mistake, Amazon processed my refund, i got a 4th gen crucial disk and everything was fine. JUST BE AWARE AND MAKE SURE YOUR MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTS 5TH GEN PCIE!!!

The 2TB 990 EVO SSD offers exceptional speed and performance. As someone who hasn’t upgraded their SSD in a few years, the performance leap is astounding. It integrates seamlessly into my Yottamaster enclosure. Under full load, the drive tends to heat up significantly but cools down rapidly once the workload decreases. I’m utilizing it for Time Machine backups with my MacBook Pro, and the backup speeds are notably faster compared to my previous experiences. Samsung continues to demonstrate their prowess in SSD technology with this model. The 990 EVO is an excellent choice for any high-performance tasks, thanks to its substantial storage capacity, which is ideal for critical backups. The five-year warranty further enhances its reliability, providing peace of mind.
