Samsung SSD 990 PRO 4TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280, Up to 7,450 MB/s | NVMe Internal Solid State Hard Drive for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZ-V9P4T0B/AM)

I am using two of these 1TB drives in a custom NAS box I put together running TrueNAS. I have two 12TB HDD drives, two slower SSDs, and two of these great Samsung 1TB NVMe drives. While the majority of my backups are on the mirrored HDD drives, and the TrueNAS boot drives are the SSDs, I use these two Samsung NVMes as a high-performance NVME pool for storing apps, containers, metadata, VMs, databases, and PLEX metadata. This is ideal because the ZFS mirror offers redundancy for critical app data, low latency and high IOPS making it a great place for TrueNAS apps and datasets. These drives are the biggest real-world performance area of my NAS so I use it where speed matters most. The TrueNAS OS and temp jobs/work stay on the SSDs so they don't wear out these NVMes quickly. These drives are nice and fast for PCIe 4.0. They also were a great price at the time because of holiday pricing and they were on backorder for a bit, which caused the price to drop for a week, too. So the value couldn't be beat at the time. Samsung drives like these have never failed me, and some of my M.2 drives get quite a workout on my main desktop build! The only thing I would recommend with these drives is using a third-party heatsink on them that has a fan on it. It keeps these drives nice and cool during high loads. Without them, you run the risk of overheating and heat-related speed throttling, causing your drives to slow down while hot. So keep these drive cool by slapping a $20 M.2 heatsink+fan on there and never worry again! These drives were perfect for my new NAS, or for your next desktop PC drive replacement! They work great and are trouble-free for me so far. I will update if I ever run into any problems with them.

Works like dream. fast, lots of storage. got it at a great price

Used this new drive as a larger replacement for my C:/ drive (OS drive) in my Dell XPS 8930 desktop system. So far, this thing works great and is amazingly fast. My system originally came with a 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD drive. But, I was very close to the max limit on that drive and I was having trouble finding anything more to move to my secondary data drive. I also didn't really relish the idea of having to do a fresh windows 11 install and having to reload all my apps, data and everything else. I keep my system throughly updated and cleaned up, so I wasn't dealing with an old, bloated, slow install. I went with Samsung for this new SSD, for two reasons. First, I've bought Samsung drives before and was always impressed. But, most of all, because I was familiar with the Samsung Magician software that you can download free to do the data migration (cloning), as well as other ongoing drive maintenance. This free software will only allow you to transfer to a Samsung drive, so it's a no-go if you buy a different brand of drive. As expected, the Samsung Magician software is very good (now in Version 9.0) and it made the cloning of my old C: drive an easy and quick job. My old drive had nearly 220GB of data to be migrated to my new drive and it all happened in a little more than an hour. It copies and transfers every single bit of data from the original drive. Once it says the transfer has completed, you just shut it all down, transfer the new drive into your original C: drive socket and power back up. Everything is exactly the same as it was when you started. I had to use a UGREEN NVMe M.2 enclosure plugged into my computer through a USB port for the cloning operation, as my Dell desktop computer only has one NVMe M.2 slot. That was also purchased through Amazon for less than $20. So far, this new SSD drive is super fast and hasn't missed a beat since it was powered up. I highly recommend Samsung drives. One last note.......if you have questions or problems installing your new SSB, Samsung has a great customer service telephone help desk. Within 5 minutes of placing my call, I was talking to a very knowledgable computer expert that immediately answered my questions, made a couple of good suggestions and had me all taken care of. And, believe it or not, this guy sounded US based and was very easy to understand. All together, my problems were resolved in less than 10 minutes total, including a short wait to be routed to the correct product specialist. Way to go Samsung!

A new form of digital storage that is small and very fast. I link the files stored here to my Cloud Server, in the up direction, and can view them locally in the Mac Finder in the down direction... as is the case for all Storage device. This one is top of its class, a bit pricey, small, super fast, plug and play essentially and very quiet. You can occasionally hear the fan come on which is recommended over a heat sink which, for the non techies out there, means an additional piece of ribbed aluminum typically where the heat migrates and dissipates. A heatsink is available in lieu of a fan on many NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) Flash Memory Devices, but I recommend a fan.

This might be the best upgrade I made to my computer so far, extra storage that is fast and reliable. While it is hard to argue this is worth it as the current price of this product has gone up, I was able to get it for under $200 and, 2 years of games and work, it has made everything run so much faster and smoother. If you can get it, do so.

I bought this SSD for my Satechi enclosure and my M4 Mac mini. It has been fabulous, and I have had no issues with the drive whatsoever. I wanted the best, and Samsung in my opinion is the best. I am thoroughly happy with my extra storage capacity. It was totally compatible with the Satechi dock/hub I bought for my M4 Mac mini with 32GB of Ram and a 512GB SSD. I was nervous about the installation, but in the end, AI helped me calm down. I grounded myself, and installing the drive was without issue. Thanks, Amazon!

I'm no fanboy but when it comes to storage, I love Samsung. It used to be Western Digital when I was young but something has happened to them over the years. This is one of their better drives. They do have newer ones targeting AI but unless you're decking out your machine for LLM and have hundreds of gigs of RAM to support it, this will suffice for basically everything except maybe the actual amount of space. So, buy a couple or look for an 8TB. These drives work well. I have a lower model in my desktop by mistake. Honestly though it's so fast compared to "faster" models from other brands, I can't tell I bought the wrong one. This one is in one of my laptops. The laptop mount wasn't correct so I had to make a rubber washer for UNDER the SSD which is unusual. Otherwise it mounted fine. Not the drive's fault but the computer. It was recognized perfectly but one note: If your computer has Intel RST/VMD and you intend to use linux, you may need to disable it. This may prevent Windows from booting until re-enabled. Luckily for me, I just deleted Windows. Problem solved. This is a side-note for those of you purchasing these for dual-boot to hopefully save you some headache. Anyway ... 4tb ... super fast .. I have it luks encrypted, full-bore. You simply cannot tell. That's why I love these drives. I work on sensitive projects. Some legal. Some health. Some security. Etc. I run full disk encryption on my project storage and active machines with different keys each obviously and other security measures we won't get into but with this sort of NVME the performance loss is absolutely negligible. For example the "AI" nvme is absolutely not needed in my case. I actually do a lot of AI code. Financial predictions to massive patterns that I can't explain here without breaching contract but the point is, the drives are never maxed out even while fully encrypted. My GPU, NPU or CPU always bottlenecks first. The same with Video Games. Even VR games. Basically, there are few cases where this drive will not suffice. You'll know if you truly need better. If you aren't sure then, this drive will probably be perfect but it doesn't hurt to double-check.

I love this NVMe M.2 and would totally consider buying more had the prices not become so outrageous. Every Samsung SSD, NVMe I've used has been very reliable. I have exclusively used them until recently. I've had to start using the Crucial brand as I can no longer justify the price to value. If you need something we're reliability is super important, and you have disposable $, then by all means pick one of these up. If price is important, like it is for many of us, I would sooner by 2 Crucial products, and use the 2nd for backups, which you should be doing anyways. You get much better value. If/when prices come back down to earth, I would give this a five-star and recommend it exclusively.

Really fast
