Samsung 990 EVO 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-V9E1T0B/AM is a 1 TB NVMe solid-state drive that installs in an M.2 2280 slot and gives desktops or laptops a noticeable performance upgrade. It relies on both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 compatibility, so it can take advantage of the fastest lane arrangement your motherboard offers today and still be ready for your next platform.

With sequential read speeds up to 5000 MB/s and write speeds up to 4200 MB/s, the 990 EVO cuts waiting time when launching large games, moving 4K video files, or booting Windows and creative applications. Samsung’s V-NAND TLC flash and an in-house controller keep that speed consistent even during long sessions, letting you render, compile, or game without sudden slowdowns.

Thermal management built into the controller and label spreads and dissipates heat, preventing throttling without the need for an additional heatsink. Endurance is rated at 600 TBW, giving you the confidence to read and write hundreds of gigabytes every day for many years.

Security features include AES-256 hardware encryption along with TCG/Opal 2.0 and Microsoft eDrive compliance, which means data stays protected whether the drive is in your home PC, a work laptop, or a mobile workstation on the road.

Installation is straightforward: seat the drive in the M.2 slot, secure it with a single screw, and load Samsung Magician software to handle firmware updates, performance tuning, and health monitoring. Whether you are building a new gaming rig, upgrading a creator workstation, or breathing new life into a thin-and-light notebook, the 990 EVO offers a practical mix of speed, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
