About This Product
The Samsung 990 EVO Plus is a 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 5.0 x2 interface. This configuration offers lower sequential read/write speeds compared to full PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x4 drives in its price range. It is suitable for general computing and light content creation tasks where extreme transfer speeds are not critical.
Verdict
“Not recommended; better performance per dollar is available from PCIe 4.0 x4 drives.”
