The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both PCs and PlayStation 5 consoles. It surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, boasting sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively. While faster than the standard 990 Evo, it falls slightly short of the 990 Pro. The key difference? This model lacks DRAM. However, for PS5 use, this is irrelevant. Gaming PCs benefit from HMB (host memory buffer), which cleverly utilizes a negligible amount of system RAM to compensate. Gamers will experience virtually identical performance compared to the 990 Pro.

This SSD lacks a pre-installed heatsink. But, its single-sided design is energy-efficient and generates minimal heat, likely eliminating the need for additional cooling, even within a PS5. Adding a heatsink is purely optional, though.
