Speed for games and creative work

The Samsung 990 M.2 2280 1TB drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and an in-house controller with Samsung V NAND to reach sequential reads up to 7,150 MB/s and writes up to 6,450 MB/s. Random performance hits 700,000 IOPS read and 1,100,000 IOPS write. It suits game collectors, DIY PC builders and digital archivists who need fast load times and responsive project exports.

Straightforward M.2 installation

The 2280 form factor fits standard desktop M.2 slots keyed for PCIe 4.0 x4. No cables or brackets are required; the drive seats directly on the motherboard. Common issues arise when the slot shares bandwidth with other devices or when the BIOS lacks NVMe boot support, so verify platform compatibility before fitting.

One terabyte with 400 TBW endurance

The 1.0 TB capacity holds large game libraries, 4K footage and long-term archives without constant offloading. Rated at 400 TBW, the drive sustains heavy daily writes for years. Idle power drops to 55 mW in PS3 and 3 mW in PS4 L1.2, while hardware AES 256 encryption plus TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 protect stored data.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Samsung 990 1TB is performing at its rated 7,150 MB/s read speed after installation?

Run a benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on the MZ-V9V1T0BW and compare the sequential read result to the 7,150 MB/s specification.

What components are included with the Samsung 990 M.2 2280 1TB drive and what must be purchased separately?

The box contains the MZ-V9V1T0BW SSD only; a compatible M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 support and a motherboard standoff screw are required but not included.

Which capacity of the Samsung 990 series should I choose for a large game library and 4K footage archive?

The 1TB model provides 1.0 TB of V-NAND storage with 400 TBW endurance, suitable for extensive game collections and high-resolution media archives.
