Delivering efficiency and versatility, the 2TB 990 EVO PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 M.2 Internal SSD from Samsung lets you expand your computer's storage capacity while offering optimized performance for sustained workloads.

By supporting two PCIe 5.0 lanes, this M.2 2280 SSD produces less heat than x4 drives, making it ideal for ultra-thin laptops. This design also avoids performance drops with most RAID systems. But whether you use the drive with a PCIe 5.0 x2 or PCIe 4.0 x4 compatible system, the 990 EVO provides up to 5000 MB/s read and 4200 MB/s write speeds, allowing you to quickly load expansive game worlds, demanding applications, and massive project files. You can also access to AES-256 encryption via TCG/Opal 2.0 and MS eDrive. Additionally, the 1200TB TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating helps to ensure a long operational life.
