The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both your gaming PC and PS5. It handily surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, boasting read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,300 MB/s. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's considerably faster than the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? This model lacks DRAM. However, for PS5 gaming, this is inconsequential. For PCs, the 990 Evo Plus utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), effectively using a small amount of your system RAM—a difference gamers won't notice.

This SSD doesn't include a pre-installed heatsink. But, thanks to its efficient, single-sided design, it generates minimal heat, making a heatsink unnecessary for most users, even in a PS5. However, adding one is always an option for extra peace of mind.
