The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for your gaming PC or PlayStation 5. Exceeding Sony's minimum speed requirements, it boasts impressive sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and 6,300MB/s respectively. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it significantly outperforms the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? This is a DRAM-less drive. For PS5 gaming, this makes absolutely no difference. For PCs, it utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), cleverly using a negligible amount of your system RAM. Gamers will experience no discernible performance gap.

The 990 Evo Plus doesn't include a pre-installed heatsink. However, its efficient, single-sided design generates minimal heat. This means a heatsink is likely unnecessary, even in a PS5. It should operate flawlessly without thermal throttling. Adding a heatsink is entirely optional, though, offering extra peace of mind at a minimal cost (around $7).
