The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a top-tier drive for both your gaming PC and PS5. Exceeding Sony's minimum speed requirements, it boasts sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and 6,300MB/s respectively. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's considerably faster than the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? This is a DRAM-less drive. For PS5 gaming, this makes no difference whatsoever. On PCs, it cleverly utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), borrowing a tiny amount of system RAM—a change completely imperceptible to gamers.

The 990 Evo Plus lacks a pre-installed heatsink. However, its efficient, single-sided design generates minimal heat, making a heatsink likely unnecessary, even in a PS5. While adding one offers extra peace of mind, it's not strictly required.
