Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD

The Samsung 990 PRO is a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, built for machines where storage speed is part of the work rather than a background detail: video editing, large photo libraries, project builds and modern games. Over PCIe 4.0 x4 it delivers sequential reads of up to 7,450 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 6,900 MB/s, which shortens the wait whenever a lot of data has to move at once, whether that is copying a project folder, scrubbing a timeline, importing a shoot or installing a large title. Two terabytes of capacity is generous enough that an editing scratch space, a game library and an archive of finished work can share one drive instead of being split across several. It drops into any free M.2 2280 slot with a single screw and no cabling, so it is as straightforward to add to an existing machine as it is to specify in a new build. Editors, photographers, developers and anyone assembling a high-end gaming PC get the most from it, and because there are no moving parts it copes better than a hard disk with heat, dust and being carried around. Samsung covers it with a five-year warranty.
