The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for your gaming PC and PlayStation 5. It easily surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, boasting impressive sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's a major upgrade over the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? This drive lacks DRAM. However, for PS5 gaming, this is completely irrelevant. For PCs, the 990 Evo Plus cleverly utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), borrowing a tiny amount of your system RAM – a difference you won't even notice.
This SSD doesn't come with a pre-installed heatsink. But don't worry! The 990 Evo Plus's efficient single-sided design generates minimal heat, making a heatsink unnecessary in most cases, even in a PS5. It'll perform flawlessly without thermal throttling. However, adding a heatsink ($7 extra) is always an option if you prefer extra peace of mind.
