It’s DRAM-less, using Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which keeps costs down and power consumption low (around 4.6W read, 4.2W write for 2TB). This makes it ideal for laptops and consoles where heat and power matter. It runs cooler than many PCIe 4.0 SSDs, topping out at 74°C without a heatsink, and Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard helps prevent throttling.
I recently upgraded my PC with the SAMSUNG 990 EVO Plus SSD (2TB), and I’m genuinely impressed by how much of a boost it’s given my overall system performance—especially for gaming. The advertised up to 7,250 MB/s read speed isn’t just a flashy spec; I’ve noticed significantly faster load times in all my favorite games. Even large open-world games boot up in a fraction of the time they used to,” said one reviewer.
