SSD DISK SAMSUNG 990 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD - MZ-V9V2T0BW

Samsung 990 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 is a high-end internal SSD aimed at gaming and productivity builds where loading and response speed is important. It operates over a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with up to 7250MB/s read speed, making it very suitable for fast loading of games and heavy applications. The M.2 2280 form factor makes it compatible with most modern motherboards and laptops that have a PCIe 4.0 NVMe slot. It comes with a 2TB capacity – fully sufficient for a serious library of games, programs, and files.

What you get

With a 2TB capacity, you can hold dozens of AAA games, large video projects, RAW photos, and software without immediately thinking about a second drive. Read speeds of up to 7250MB/s and up to 850000 IOPS random read 4K mean that the system will boot quickly, levels and maps in games will load in seconds, and many small files (Windows, programs, project files) will be read very swiftly. With write speeds of up to 1200000 IOPS random write 4K, you will feel a boost during installations, updates, compilations, and working with archives. Despite the high performance, the average consumption is around 4.3W while reading and 3.8W while writing, and in idle it drops to typically 55mW, which is important for quieter and cooler systems (and for laptops – better battery life). The presence of AES 256-bit encryption and standards like TCG/Opal V2.0 and Encrypted Drive (IEEE 1667) makes it a serious option for those who care about data security.

• Uses PCIe NVMe 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol, providing very high bandwidth for gaming and working with large files.
• 2TB capacity allows you to keep an operating system, essential programs, and a large library of games on one drive.
• Sequential read speed of up to 7250MB/s ensures fast loading of levels, scenes, and large projects.
• Random Read 4K up to 850000 IOPS and Random Write 4K up to 1200000 IOPS provide very good responsiveness for multitasking and working with many small files.
• No DRAM cache, but with HMB (Host Memory Buffer), which uses system RAM for caching and helps maintain high performance without separate DRAM on the SSD itself.
• Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory and 800 TBW endurance, combined with 1,500,000 hours MTBF, are a good indicator of long life in daily use.
• Low typical idle consumption of 55mW and 3mW in sleep mode help achieve lower temperatures and better energy efficiency.
• Built-in AES 256-bit full disk encryption plus TCG/Opal V2.0 and Encrypted Drive (IEEE 1667) make it suitable for systems where security is a priority.
• Supports TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. and Garbage Collection, as well as management through Samsung Magician software for monitoring and optimization.
• M.2 2280 form factor, weight up to 9g and dimensions 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38 mm make it suitable for both desktop and many laptop configurations.
• Operating temperature 0 – 70°C and shock resistance 1,500G for 0.5 ms provide additional security for mobile systems and transport.

Who it is suitable for

This SSD is a strong choice for gamers who want fast load times and enough space for modern titles, as well as for creators (video, photo, 3D) who work with large files and many projects. It is also suitable for powerful workstations running Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 (64-bit), where a balance between performance, capacity, and security is sought. If you are just looking for a cheap SSD for a basic office computer, this solution may be more than you need.

The combination of PCIe 4.0 speeds, 2TB capacity, high IOPS values, and hardware encryption makes the Samsung 990 Series 2TB a very sensible primary drive for modern gaming or productivity builds, with good endurance and a 36-month warranty.
