The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for your gaming PC or PlayStation 5. It easily surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, boasting impressive sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's a substantial upgrade over the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? This is a DRAM-less drive. For PS5 gaming, this makes absolutely no difference. On PCs, it utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), cleverly using a negligible amount of your system RAM—gamers won't notice any performance impact.

This SSD doesn't come with a pre-installed heatsink. However, its new single-sided design is energy-efficient and generates less heat than older SSDs. This usually means a heatsink isn't necessary, even in a PS5. However, adding one for extra peace of mind is perfectly acceptable.
