FAQ: Frequently Asked Question
1. What speeds does the Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB deliver?
The drive is rated for up to 7,450 MB/s sequential read, 6,900 MB/s sequential write, and 1.4 M / 1.55 M random IOPS (read/write).
2. Is it compatible with a PlayStation 5, and do I need a heatsink?
Yes. It meets Sony’s Gen 4×4 ≥5,500 MB/s requirement and is flagged “PS5 compatible.” Fit the 990 Pro with Heatsink model or add any 22 × 80 mm heatsink before installation.
3. Will it work in a PCIe 5.0 motherboard?
Absolutely. The 990 Pro is a PCIe 4.0×4 NVMe 2.0 SSD that runs at full speed in Gen 4 slots and automatically down-negotiates (with no performance penalty) in Gen 5 or Gen 3 slots.
4. Does the 990 Pro run hot—should I use a heatsink on PC?
Samsung’s nickel-plated controller, heat-spreader label and Dynamic Thermal Guard keep temps in check, but a small M.2 heatsink is wise for long 4 K edits, heavy writes or compact cases.
5. What are the endurance rating and warranty?
The 2 TB model is rated for 1,200 TBW (terabytes written) and comes with a 5-year limited warranty—whichever is reached first.
6. Were the early SMART wear-rate issues fixed?
Yes. Firmware versions 1B2QJXD7 and later ( e.g., 4B2QJXD7 ) stop the abnormal wear reporting. Update via the Samsung Magician utility if your drive shipped with older firmware.
7. Does it support hardware encryption for BitLocker?
It does—AES-256, TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 (eDrive) are built in; enable them in BIOS and Samsung Magician, then switch BitLocker to “hardware encryption.”
8. Is there on-board DRAM, and will it fit thin laptops?
Yes—2 GB LPDDR4 cache is on the drive, and the 2 TB PCB is single-sided M.2 2280, so it slips under most laptop shields and PS5 covers.
9. Why does Windows show only ~1.81 TiB of space?
Operating systems report capacity in binary (TiB), so a “2 TB” decimal drive formats to ≈ 1.81 TiB usable, which is normal.
10. How do I clone my old drive and keep firmware up to date?
Download Samsung Magician for health checks & firmware, and Samsung Data Migration (bundled) to one-click clone your existing OS to the 990 Pro.
11. Is it good for 4 K video work and DirectStorage-ready games?
Yes—its 7.4 GB/s throughput and 1.55 M IOPS land it among the fastest Gen 4 SSDs for 4 K/60 editing and Microsoft DirectStorage titles.
