The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for your gaming PC and PlayStation 5. It easily surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements, boasting read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,300 MB/s. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's considerably faster than the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? The 990 Evo Plus lacks DRAM. However, this is inconsequential for PS5 performance and its HMB (host memory buffer) functionality effectively utilizes your system RAM on PCs, making the performance difference virtually undetectable for gamers.
This SSD doesn't include a pre-installed heatsink. Its new single-sided design is power-efficient and generates less heat, meaning a heatsink is likely unnecessary, even in a PS5. However, adding one for extra peace of mind wouldn't hurt (though it might add around $7 to the cost).
