2TB NVMe drive for PC and laptop upgrades

This internal solid state drive fits the M.2 2280 slot and delivers up to 5000 MBps read and 4200 MBps write over PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x2. It uses V-NAND TLC memory and the NVMe 2.0 protocol to handle operating systems, games and large project files.

Dual PCIe interface and thermal label for steady

The controller supports both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 lanes, giving extra bandwidth on newer platforms while remaining compatible with current motherboards. A heat spreading label works with the controller to manage temperature and avoid sudden performance drops during sustained workloads.

Samsung Magician software for drive health

The bundled utility lets you monitor drive condition, apply firmware updates and run optimisation routines without leaving the operating system. It helps keep the SSD running at its rated speeds over the life of the product.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe 4.0 x4 and 5.0 x2 interface cap the 990 EVO at 5,000 MB/s read?

Yes, the dual-mode PCIe 4.0 x4 and 5.0 x2 interface limits sequential reads to 5,000 MB/s and writes to 4,200 MB/s in practice.

What physical slot and length does the M.2 2280 form factor require?

The 2280 designation means it needs an M.2 slot that accepts 80 mm long modules, keyed for NVMe drives.

How is the drive installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the module at an angle into the M.2 slot, press flat, and secure with the motherboard screw; many forget to fasten that screw.
