Style Fast

Capacity 1TB

  • Sequential read up to 5000 MBps loads games fast
  • Sequential write up to 4200 MBps saves large files quickly
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 compatibility fits modern motherboards
  • 70 percent better performance per watt than 970 EVO Plus extends battery life
  • Smart thermal control with heat-spreading label prevents throttling during heavy workloads

Capacity and PCIe flexibility

The 990 EVO provides 1TB of V-NAND TLC storage in the M.2 2280 form factor. It operates on PCI-Express 4.0 x4 or PCI-Express 5.0 x2, giving wide platform compatibility. Sequential reads reach up to 5000 MBps and writes up to 4200 MBps. The NVMe 2.0 protocol manages the data path.

Speed headroom and thermal behaviour

At 5000 MBps read and 4200 MBps write the drive handles OS boot, large game loads and content-creation scratch files without bottleneck. Sustained heavy writes will eventually hit the controller thermal limit and throttle to protect data. The heat-spreading label and tuned controller delay that point but do not remove it. Typical mixed workloads stay well within the performance envelope.

Power efficiency and software toolkit

Samsung quotes up to 70 percent better performance per watt versus the 970 EVO Plus, lowering system power draw during active transfers. The bundled Magician software adds drive health monitoring, firmware updates and secure-erase functions. These utilities simplify maintenance but do not alter the hardware specifications.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive work in a motherboard that only supports PCIe 4.0 x4?

Yes, the 990 EVO is compatible with PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2, so it will operate at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds on that motherboard.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 5000 MBps read and 4200 MBps write speeds after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or Samsung Magician and compare the sequential results to the 5000 MBps read and 4200 MBps write figures.

Does the MZ-V9E1T0B/AM package include a heatsink or mounting screw, or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains the 990 EVO 1TB SSD with its integrated heat-spreading label; a motherboard mounting screw and any additional heatsink must be supplied separately.
