The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both your gaming PC and PS5. It easily surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements, boasting sequential read and write speeds up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's significantly faster than the standard 990 Evo, and the difference is negligible for most gamers. The key difference? This is a DRAM-less drive, utilizing HMB (host memory buffer) to leverage a small amount of your system RAM—completely imperceptible in gaming.

This SSD doesn't include a pre-installed heatsink, but its newer single-sided design is energy-efficient and produces minimal heat. This means it'll likely work flawlessly in your PS5 without thermal throttling, though adding a heatsink is always an option for extra peace of mind (at a cost of around $7).
