Samsung 990 EVO Plus MZ-V9S2T0BW 2 TB

A compact professional-grade solid-state drive with support for the PCI-E 5.0 interface, NVMe 2.0 protocol, and a removable graphene heatsink. One of the key features of the model is the use of the 8th generation V-NAND memory with a three-bit structure per cell (TLC), which ensures high recording density and durability of the device. For a 2 TB drive, the manufacturer declares linear read and write speeds of up to 7250 and 6300 MB/s, while the efficiency of working with 4K blocks can reach 1,350 thousand IOPS.

The 990 EVO Plus is based on a modern 5-nm Piccolo controller developed by Samsung. Despite the lack of an external DRAM buffer, the drive provides high performance due to support for HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology, which uses system RAM to accelerate read and write operations. PCI-E 5.0 x2 mode offers an alternative approach for next-generation systems, providing similar throughput with fewer PCI-E lanes, which is especially useful for configurations with a limited number of lanes.

This flexibility ensures compatibility with both current and future platforms from AMD and Intel. With 2 TB of storage, the Samsung 990 EVO Plus is a great choice for users who need significant storage space, whether it’s extensive game libraries, large collections of multimedia files, or backups of work projects in Ableton, Resolve, After Effect, and other professional applications. The official warranty is 5 years.
