Samsung 990 EVO 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-V9E2T0B/AM is an internal solid-state drive built on the M.2 2280 standard and offers 2 TB of high-speed NVMe storage. It works with either a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot or a PCIe 5.0 x2 slot, so it installs easily in a current desktop or laptop and is ready for the next wave of motherboards. With sequential read speeds that reach 5000 MB per second and write speeds up to 4200 MB per second, the drive reduces boot times, shortens game load screens, and lets large media projects open and save without delay.

Samsung pairs its V-NAND TLC flash with an in-house controller that uses a Host Memory Buffer architecture. This design leans on system memory instead of onboard DRAM, which trims power use and keeps temperatures under control. A peak draw of just 5.5 W and lower thermal output on PCIe 5.0 x2 systems make the drive a natural fit for slim laptops, small form factor PCs, and densely packed workstation builds where airflow is limited.

Security and longevity are addressed at the hardware level. The drive supports AES 256-bit encryption along with TCG/Opal 2.0 and Microsoft eDrive, so sensitive data stays protected whether the system is on a desk at work or tossed in a carry-on. An endurance rating of 1200 TB written gives creators, gamers, and IT professionals confidence that the drive can handle frequent large file transfers over many years of use. When paired with Samsung Magician software, users can monitor health, apply firmware updates, and fine-tune performance in a few clicks.

From building a new gaming rig to upgrading an aging business laptop, the Samsung 990 EVO delivers a balance of speed, efficiency, and reliability that makes everyday computing feel effortless and professional workloads feel responsive.
