The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both PCs and PS5 consoles. Exceeding Sony's minimum speed requirements, it boasts 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 difference? This model lacks DRAM. However, this is inconsequential for PS5 performance and for PCs, the drive utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), effectively using a negligible amount of system RAM. Gamers will find the performance virtually identical to the 990 Pro.

This SSD lacks a pre-installed heatsink. Nevertheless, its efficient, single-sided design minimizes heat generation, making a heatsink likely unnecessary, even in a PS5. Adding one is optional, though, offering extra peace of mind at a minimal cost.
