The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both gaming PCs and PlayStation 5 consoles. It surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, delivering 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's slightly slower than the 990 Pro. The key distinction? The 990 Evo Plus lacks DRAM. However, this is irrelevant for PS5 performance and for PCs, it utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), effectively using a negligible amount of system RAM. Gamers will experience no noticeable performance gap.
This SSD doesn't include a pre-installed heatsink. Its newer, single-sided design is energy-efficient and generates minimal heat, likely negating the need for additional cooling, even within a PS5. Adding a heatsink is optional, though, offering extra peace of mind at a minimal extra cost.
