As a PC builder and heavy gamer, my old SATA SSD was becoming a serious bottleneck for my i7-12700K and RTX 5070 Ti system. I chose the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB to be my new primary OS and games drive, and the difference is staggering. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a complete transformation.Real-World Performance: The Numbers Don't LieThe specs are impressive (up to 7,250 MB/s read), but the real-world results are what matter. Here’s what I saw after cloning my Windows 11 Pro installation and my main games over:Windows Boot Time: Cut from ~25 seconds to under 8 seconds.Game Load Times: Loading into my save file in Cyberpunk 2077 went from over 30 seconds to about 9 seconds. Levels in other demanding games load almost instantly.File Transfers: Moving a 100GB game folder from my old drive to this one took just a couple of minutes, a task that used to take over 15 minutes.The PCIe Gen 4 interface is the key here. Day-to-day use is incredibly snappy, and the drive doesn't slow down even when installing a huge game while running other programs, thanks to the Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 cache.Installation & A Note on HeatsinksThe M.2 2280 form factor made installation a breeze on my ASUS PRIME Z690-P motherboard. One of the main "cons" of this drive is that it doesn't include a heatsink. This was not an issue for me, as my motherboard has its own built-in M.2 heatsinks which keep the drive running cool under load. However, if your motherboard doesn't have one, I'd recommend buying a cheap M.2 heatsink to ensure you don't get any thermal throttling during intense, long gaming sessions.Final Verdict: Worth Every Penny for a High-End BuildWhile the Samsung 990 EVO Plus is a premium drive with a premium price, it's one of the most impactful upgrades I've ever made to my PC. The sheer speed and responsiveness it brings to the entire system are undeniable. If you have a PCIe Gen 4 compatible system and you're still using an older SATA SSD or a slower NVMe drive, this is a no-brainer. It unlocks the full potential of your other components.I've attached a photo of the drive installed on my motherboard under the heatsink. Highly recommended!

Extremely fast and reliable. Perfect product. I Have been using it for more than 6 months.It needs proper cooling though, so if you plan to use it as an external SSD, a case without a fan is not enough.I bought an Acasis case with an active fan and it now runs perfectly fine.

Produto original. Fiquei na dúvida por causa dos lacres chineses, mas o circuito controlador é da Samsung. Após instalação testei com o aplicativo Samsung Magician, comprovando a autenticidade, e finalmente em teste de carga alcançou velocidades próximas da máxima. Recomendo o vendedor!

My son installed it in his laptop in about 5 minutes and working great 😎
