Title: Absolutely Obliterated My Old SATA SSD – A Must-Have for Gamers
Review: 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!

Title: Solid SSD Upgrade That Gave My PC a Nice Boost
Review: I picked up this Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB to upgrade one of our PCs, and it has been a really good improvement so far. Installation was simple. It slotted right into the M.2 spot and the system recognized it right away. I cloned the old drive and everything transferred without any issues.Performance has been noticeably faster. Boot times are quick, apps open almost instantly, and large file transfers feel a lot smoother than before. I’m not someone who sits and runs speed tests, but in everyday use the difference is obvious.The drive runs cool in our setup, and so far there haven’t been any hiccups or disconnects. For the price, it feels like a great value if you just want an easy speed boost or more space without messing with a bunch of cables. Overall, it has been a clean, quick upgrade that made the computer feel a lot more responsive.

Title: Blazing Fast and Reliable Storage!
Review: I upgraded to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB, and it has completely transformed my system’s performance. The speed difference is night and day compared to my old drive — boot times are almost instant, applications open in a flash, and large file transfers are effortless.Installation was straightforward, and Samsung’s Magician software makes it easy to monitor health and optimize performance. I also appreciate the excellent reliability Samsung SSDs are known for, which gives me confidence in storing important files.Whether you’re a gamer, content creator, or just someone who wants their computer to feel lightning fast, this SSD is worth every penny. Absolutely recommend!

Title: Awesome drives, fast, high end data security features, stable, runs cool, 5-year warranty.
Review: Samsung has it going with their drives, nearly every Samsung SSD or NVMe I’ve owned lasted well past it’s designed life and usually keeps going until it’s obsolete, this NVMe drive is fast, runs cool (usually between 30-50c, or 40-45c with heat sink), so far it seems durable & stable for the long haul (hopefully) and is backed by a 5-year warranty, I believe the write capacity is 1,200 TBW for the 2gb, which is plenty if you just write a game to it occasionally or store files that just sit there forever, but it should also have no problem handling active files and daily writes without too much impact.I was deciding this one, or the WB_Black series, but the Samsung has a bunch of features not found in many other brands, for example security features (automatic encryption (SED), TClass 0 (AES 256), TCG/Opal v2.0, MS eDrive (IEEE1667)) encryption, typically these features were in the pro models, but it was nice to see them trickle down to the plus line, all these features are important to me for data security, plus these drives are fast, support firmware updates, and can take advantage of ‘over provisioning’ to increase life of the drive even further.Going forward, I have recently decided to get NVMe drives now over conventional mechanical hard drives which in recent years seem to be made cheaply and have less and less warranty, where with NVMe storage size is getting comparable with 2-4 TB range, just large enough where a failure won’t be too impactful (compared to a large 12-20 gig hard drive), not to mention the data speeds with NVMe is off the charts making backups a breeze, the small compact size and portable nature is also really nice as-well toss it in an enclosure and use it anywhere.Overall I highly recommend, drives are easy to install and compatible with a wide range of systems PCIe 2.0-5.0 (speed varies with PCIe generation), if your motherboard doesn’t offer a built-in slot, PCI-E adapters or USB 3 enclosures are available if needed, of course if anything happens with this drive I will update my review but so far no issues.

Review: This 2 TB (actually only 1.8 Tb without overprovisioning about 1.6Tb with the recommended overprovisioning) is top shelf in SSD. You really cannot beat it and its read and write speed is currently the best you can get. If you also count in the 5 year warranty you cannot go wrong. Team this with Samsung Magician 8 software and you are set (for 5 years anyway).A nice piece of hardware for your PC or laptop.

Review: 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!
