990 PRO Heatsink SSD 4TB, NVMe M.2 2280, Read Speeds Up to 7,450MB/s Best for PlayStation 5 (PS5 SSD) Console Expansion MZ-V9P4T0CW

The Samsung 990 PRO 4TB with the built-in heatsink was a huge storage upgrade in my Rog Xbox Ally X. Installation was simple, and the heatsink fits perfectly without blocking anything in the motherboard. Performance-wise, this SSD is extremely fast. I considered using a microSD card instead of this but the the microSD card won’t support AAA games. With this SSD card I have installed multiple AAA games and still have storage room for installing future games. Extremely happy with the investment. The best part is the temperature control. Thanks to the built-in heatsink, the drive stays cool even during long gaming sessions. I haven’t had any thermal throttling or drops in speed. If you need lots of space and top performance for gaming handheld Rog Xbox Ally X—this SSD is definitely worth it. It’s one of the best upgrades. Pros: • Very fast read/write speeds • Built-in heatsink keeps temperatures low • Easy installation • Quiet and reliable • Plenty of storage for modern games and apps Cons: • Higher price than some alternatives, but the performance makes up for it

I bought the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB with heatsink to add fast storage without messing around with aftermarket cooling, and it absolutely delivers. Install was straightforward (standard M.2 2280), and the built-in heatsink is a big plus for tight spaces like the PS5 expansion bay or compact PC builds. Performance feels instant: games load noticeably quicker, large file transfers are snappy, and everything just feels more responsive. The drive also stays stable under heavier use thanks to the heatsink, which helps avoid throttling and keeps performance consistent. Pros Extremely fast PCIe Gen4 performance (great for gaming + heavy workloads) Integrated heatsink = easy, clean install (especially for PS5) Solid build quality and reliability so far Cons Priced at a premium compared to some alternatives You’ll only get the full benefit if your system supports PCIe Gen4 If you want a top-tier NVMe SSD and don’t want to worry about temps, this is an easy recommendation.

I bought this for my PlayStation 5 to expand the internal memory. I have been struggling with storage space and was constantly having o try and decide what to remove from my console so I could add another game. I did a fair amount of research and this was one of the more prominently suggested brands to go with. It’s not the cheapest in price but then when compared to others for memory size and speed it is fairly priced with great speed. I don’t get any lag when playing games that are stored on it. It was very easy to install and didn’t require any additional hardware or tools to install. A straight forward m.2 plug in with a single screw. As a solid state drive it makes absolutely no noise when used. Compatible with PS5 internal storage bay. Allows me to more than triple my internal storage for games. A must buy for those who want a nice selection of games installed.

Installed this SSD in my PS5 and it just works exactly as advertised. Physical install took literally 3-4 minutes (unscrew the cover, slot it in, screw it down). No issues at all. PS5 recognized it instantly, formatted in under a minute, and I started moving games over right away. Transfer speeds were blazing – big titles moved in a fraction of the time I expected. Real-world performance is excellent: load times noticeably faster, no stuttering, and the console stays cooler even during long sessions. If you want more PS5 storage and don’t want to mess around, this is the one to get. Expensive, but worth every penny for the speed and hassle-free experience. Highly recommend.

Samsung for the win! A great SSD that's fast, performs awesome and plenty of storage. Got this for my PC and it was easy to physically install and pretty simple to set it up with disk management. Everything flies with this: games, file transfers, videos, programs, etc. The specs look great and the heatsink does a good job keeping it cool. This is my second Samsung as they do not disappoint with performance. Great value! Just check to make sure your motherboard can use it and if so, you won't be disappointed!

Best Heatsink SSD on the market! Blazing fast, easy to install, great value (at the time i purchased it, it was great value), good quality, good heat management, etc. I added this bad boy to my Asus TUF gaming laptop and it works like a charm!

This drive works perfectly, a second Samsung 990 SSD, to serve as /home partition in my Dell XPS-15 laptop. I like nothing better in Linux than physical separation of the /home partition. The best, 8 TB total storage on a laptop, no heat issues, very fast. I am set for years.

Look, this drive is ripping fast, ultra reliable.... Typical stuff from Samsung. I bought the 4TB model with the integrated heatsink, thinking it would be the best option to keep the drive healthy for a long time. Installed in my desktop, no problem. The issue is that I now want to move the drive to a different system. Specifically a gaming laptop. Obviously, the heatsink adds height and bulk to the drive, preventing it being used in confined applications. Removing the heatsink is both risky to your expensive drive and also voids the warranty. It also gets in the way of some external drive adapters. I now have to buy ANOTHER expensive SSD to correct that mistake. If you want to install this on a motherboard with no built in cooling solution, buy the bare drive, and use the 10 dollars you saved to buy an SSD heatsink that will take 2 minutes to install. And if you want to repurpose the drive later into a more space confined application, it's another 2 minutes and no warranty voiding. Other than that, stellar product.

perfect

This SSD is phenomenal. I use pair of such drives in a Proxmox home server to keep VM images. Both drives are connected via PCIe card to the motherboard. The SSD demonstrates high throughput, very low latency and very good stability _after_ applying the latest firmware update that has been release last fall 2025. Heatsink works well and never seen drives overheating even after high workload.

Perfecto y muy rápido, caro pero bueno.

This is an Excellent M.2 NVME storage expansion for PS5. I recommend it. The games play flawlessly .

Good quality
