The Samsung 990 Pro all but maxes out what a PCIe 4.0 SSD is capable of
Incredibly fast ; Option for a built-in heatsink ; Solid reliability ; PS5 compatible
No PCIe 5.0 ; You need that heatsink, because this one runs hot ; Only two capacity options ; More expensive
The Samsung 990 Pro is an absolutely stellar M.2 SSD for both professional users and gamers alike. With solid capacities at a fair price and the fastest read/write performance of any PCIe 4.0 SSD we’ve tested, this SSD should definitely be at the top...

The Samsung 990 Pro is a replacement for the stalwart 980 Pro and delivers even greater performance than its predecessor
Top-notch performance ; Hardware encryption ; Heatsink an option
Not a bargain ; No 4TB option, yet ; TBW surpassed by other drives
A dramatic improvement over the 980 Pro. The 990 Pro is a drive that can genuinely match the best that Seagate, WD and Kingston have to offer. However, you pay for this privilege, and the largest drive size is only 2TB. Those looking for a better TBW...

Samsung's speedy SSD 990 Pro solid state drive now comes in a bigger 4TB capacity for gamers, enthusiasts and creators. Here's how it performs.
Expert review by (androidcentral.com)
Samsung is going all-in on speed with the 990 Pro, a new m.2 SSD that's perfect for the PS5. Pushing the boundaries of PCIe 4.0 speed.
Faster than the PS5 internal storage ; Reliable performance ; Easy to setup and use ; Much more affordable than last gen ; Available in 1, 2, or 4TB options
More expensive than the competition ; No PCIe Gen 5 support (for PCs)
If you have a need for speed, Samsung has the SSD you're looking for. It offers faster load times, faster gaming performance, and higher capacity than what's in the PS5, even if it's a bit more expensive than the competition.
