On Amazon, you’ll find Samsung 990 Evo Plus in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities. Regardless of whether you’re in the US or UK, I recommend picking up the 1TB model for the best deal at $74.99 / £69.49, as it’s the model with the steepest discount of 32% ($35) and 34% (£36.50), respectively. If you’re hungry for more space, though, then you’ll enjoy savings on the larger versions too.
Sporting an interface that can run at PCIe 5.0 x2 or PCIe 4.0 x4, 990 Evo Plus 1TB delivers respective sequential read and write speeds of 7,150MB/s (7,250MB/s on 2TB/4TB) and 6,300MB/s. These specs place it in the upper echelons of Gen 4 SSDs, just a few 100MB/s shy of Samsung’s former flagship 990 Pro drive.
While 990 Evo Plus packs plenty of performance for most folks, where it shines brightest is efficiency. Consuming an average of 4.2-4.3W while under load, it requires less power to deliver its read and write speeds. While this proves a boon for devices with batteries, including laptops, it also allows it to run nice and cool without a built-in heatsink.
Your data’s in safe hands on 990 Evo Plus, as each mode comes with a five-year warranty. The drive’s endurance rating is plenty-high too, at 600TBW per TB of capacity. You can conveniently monitor the health of your SSD in real-time too via Samsung Magician, in addition to engaging useful features such as overprovisioning and more.
