Samsung 990 EVO Plus MZ-V9S2T0BW 2 TB

Compact solid-state drive targeting professionals with support for PCIe 5.0 interface, NVMe 2.0 protocol, and a removable graphene heatsink. One of the key features of the model is the use of 8th generation V-NAND memory with a three-bit cell structure (TLC), which ensures high write density and device durability. For the 2TB drive, the manufacturer claims sequential read and write speeds of up to 7250 and 6300 MB/s, with 4K block efficiency reaching up to 1,350,000 IOPS.

The 990 EVO Plus is based on a modern 5 nm Samsung-developed Piccolo controller. Despite the absence of an external DRAM buffer, the drive delivers high performance thanks to HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology, utilizing system memory for accelerating read and write operations. The PCIe 5.0 x2 mode offers an alternative approach for next-generation systems, providing equivalent bandwidth with fewer PCIe lanes, which is especially beneficial for configurations with limited lines.

This flexibility ensures compatibility with both current and future AMD and Intel platforms. The 2TB capacity makes the Samsung 990 EVO Plus an excellent choice for users needing substantial storage, whether for 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.
