SSD Samsung 990 PRO 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe V-NAND MLC

The Ultimate SSD delivers PCIe® 4.0 performance with a focus on sustained speed, power efficiency and thermal control. An in-house controller and optimized components provide high sequential and random transfer rates suitable for gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis and other demanding tasks. The slim heatsink design ensures compatibility with PlayStation® 5, desktops and laptops that meet the PCI‑SIG® D8 standard.

Advantages

This SSD offers significantly improved random read/write performance and higher sequential throughput compared with the previous generation, enabling faster load times and smoother workflows. Power efficiency is enhanced, providing better performance per watt. The integrated heatsink maintains stable temperatures to prevent thermal throttling and reduces fan noise under heavy load. Samsung Magician software supports drive optimisation, health monitoring, firmware updates and LED configuration.

How to use

Install the M.2 SSD into a PCIe® 4.0 compatible M.2 slot on a desktop, laptop or PlayStation® 5 system that supports the specified heatsink dimensions and PCI‑SIG® D8 standard. After physical installation, use Samsung Magician to initialise the drive, update firmware, monitor health and configure LED settings. For best performance, ensure the system BIOS and drivers support PCIe® 4.0 and that the heatsink has adequate clearance in the device.

Recommendations

Verify system compatibility before installation: check motherboard or console guidelines for M.2 heatsink clearance and PCIe® 4.0 support. Use Samsung Magician to keep firmware current and to monitor drive temperature and health for sustained performance.
