The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both your gaming PC and PS5. Exceeding Sony's minimum speed requirements, it boasts read and write speeds up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively—significantly faster than the standard 990 Evo. While not quite as speedy as the 990 Pro, the key difference lies in its DRAM-less design. For PS5 gaming, this makes no difference whatsoever. On PCs, the 990 Evo Plus utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), effectively using a small amount of system RAM to compensate—a difference imperceptible to gamers.

This SSD lacks a pre-installed heatsink. However, its newer single-sided design is power-efficient and generates minimal heat, often eliminating the need for additional cooling, even within a PS5. Adding a heatsink is purely optional for added peace of mind.
