It uses Host Memory Buffer, borrowing a small slice of system RAM instead of carrying its own DRAM chip. That keeps cost and power down, and Samsung claims 73% more performance per watt than the 990 EVO, which also makes it a good laptop upgrade. The dual-mode interface works over PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x2, useful on newer laptops and boards that split lanes. Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 keeps writes fast during typical copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEVO Plus or PRO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout DRAM, random performance is lower than the 990 PRO (850K vs 1,200K random read IOPS at 1TB) and sustained writes slow sooner once the cache fills. For a gaming or everyday boot drive that rarely matters. For heavy video work or large daily file transfers, the 990 PRO is the stronger choice. The bare 2.38mm drive has no heatsink, so in a PS5 or a hot desktop slot pair it with an M.2 cooler. At 1TB, a couple of large games fill it quickly. The 2TB model gives more room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 7,150MB\/s read and 6,300MB\/s write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-mode PCIe 4.0 x4 \/ PCIe 5.0 x2 interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent TurboWrite 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved power efficiency over the 990 EVO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamsung Magician for migration, health monitoring and firmware updates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Samsung 990 EVO Plus (MZ-V9S1T0BW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 1TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm factor: M.2 2280\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: PCIe 4.0 x4 \/ PCIe 5.0 x2, NVMe 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAND: Samsung V-NAND TLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eController: Samsung in-house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: HMB (Host Memory Buffer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential read: Up to 7,150MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential write: Up to 6,300MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom read (4KB, QD32): Up to 850,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom write (4KB, QD32): Up to 1,350,000 IOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndurance: 600 TBW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 4.3W read \/ 4.2W write average, 60mW idle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncryption: AES 256-bit (Class 0), TCG\/Opal, IEEE1667\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTBF: 1.5 million hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0°C to 70°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock: 1,500G, 0.5ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Max. 9.0g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 Year limited or 600 TBW, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo installation kit or screw included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Samsung?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung designs the V-NAND, controller and firmware for its SSDs in-house, and the EVO line has long been its value-focused range.
