The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is an ideal choice for both your gaming PC and PlayStation 5 console. It exceeds Sony's minimum speed recommendation for the PS5, offering impressive sequential speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s read and 6,300 MB/s write. While it's not as fast as the 990 Pro, the difference is negligible for most users. The 990 Evo Plus is a DRAM-less drive, but it supports HMB (host memory buffer), which compensates for the lack of DRAM by utilizing a small amount of your system's RAM. This ensures that gamers won't notice any performance difference between the two.

This SSD does not come with a preinstalled heatsink. However, its new single-sided design is more power-efficient and generates less heat than older SSDs. This means it should work perfectly in a PS5 without thermal throttling, though adding a heatsink for peace of mind is an option that costs an extra $7.
