Pros and cons

According to our solid state drive (SSD) expert

You can transfer large files quickly thanks to the high write speed.
With an M.2 NVMe SSD, you can open and transfer your files faster than with other types of SSDs.
The 2 terabyte storage gives you enough space for 4K or RAW media and about 15 large games.
The write speed isn’t high enough for professional media, like 4K or 8K files or large blueprints.
If you have large media files or a big game library, you’ll need more storage.

Price per gigabyte

The installation of the Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD went flawlessly and immediately gave my PC a noticeable boost in speed and responsiveness for all my daily tasks. Compared to my previous storage solution, programs now open smoothly and game loading times have been drastically reduced. Even during intensive use, such as heavy multitasking and moving large files, the drive remains impressively stable and cool. Copying data happens in a truly instant without performance dropping due to heat. Finally, the user-friendly Samsung Magician software makes monitoring drive status and firmware updates very simple.

Gaming and loading times

Short loading times in games
Games and programs start quickly
1 TB might fill up quickly with many large games.

As an avid PC gamer, I consider load times to be one of the most important factors in an SSD. That is why I have used the Samsung 990 extensively for games and programs I use daily. Load times are short, and starting games and loading larger levels, in particular, feels very smooth.

What I also appreciate is that the SSD remains responsive even when other programs are running in the background. I regularly use my PC for gaming while other applications are open, and the Samsung 990 handles this well.

Another advantage is the amount of space. With 1 TB, you have sufficient storage for a substantial collection of games and programs without immediately running out of space.

I also find Samsung Magician very user-friendly. You can easily check the status of the SSD and see if everything is working properly.

As far as gaming is concerned, this is an excellent SSD. The combination of fast load times, good responsiveness, and sufficient storage makes it a clear improvement for a modern gaming PC.
