Description
Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe SSD
MZ-V9S2T0BW
The Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe SSD is a top-tier storage upgrade for gamers, creators and power-users alike. It line-ups up Samsung’s latest 8th-generation V-NAND TLC flash memory alongside an efficient 5nm controller in a compact M.2 2280 form-factor.
With read speeds reaching up to ~7,250 MB/s and write speeds near ~6,300 MB/s, this drive offers extremely fast data transfer, shorter load-times and snappier system responsiveness.
Despite its high performance, the drive maintains excellent power efficiency (active ~4.6W) and supports host memory buffer (HMB) rather than dedicated DRAM, which helps keep the form-factor slim and thermally manageable.
With features like AES 256-bit encryption, TCG/Opal, high write endurance (1,200 TBW for 2TB) and a 5-year warranty, it’s a reliable pick for everything from high-end gaming rigs to professional workstations.
Whether you’re upgrading your boot drive, expanding your game library, or setting up a content-creation workstation, this SSD delivers strong performance and future-proofing in a standard, easy-install format.
Why It’s a Great Choice
-
Blazing-fast real-world speeds – With up to ~7,250 MB/s read and ~6,300 MB/s write (2TB model), the Samsung 990 EVO Plus delivers one of the fastest consumer SSD experiences available today.
-
High endurance & reliability – A 1,200 TBW endurance rating plus a 5-year warranty means you’re covered for intensive workloads and long-term storage use.
-
Optimised efficiency & cooling – Lower power consumption and a single-sided M.2 design make this drive ideal for both desktops and laptops where space, heat and noise matter.
-
Solid value for high-capacity – While not the ultra-premium flagship, this model delivers very high performance at a capacity that suits serious gaming libraries, content creation, or system drives.
-
Future-ready interface – Even though the 2TB version uses PCIe 4.0 x4 (or PCIe 5.0 x2), it’s compatible with most current systems and provides headroom for upgrades without replacing your storage again soon.
-
Trusted brand & ecosystem – Samsung’s SSDs are well-regarded for firmware quality, software tools (Magician) and build quality — giving you peace of mind.
-
Versatile use-case fit – Whether you need fast boot/system drive, large game-storage pool, or a workstation SSD for editing, this drive ticks the boxes.
