Does this SSD come with a heatsink?

No, the Samsung 990 EVO PLUS does not include a pre-installed heatsink, though its power-efficient design allows it to run cool under normal operating conditions.

Is this drive compatible with PS5?

Yes, it is compatible with the PS5, though it is recommended to add a third-party M.2 heatsink to meet the console's thermal requirements.

How do I update the drive firmware?

You can update the firmware easily by downloading and running the Samsung Magician software on your Windows PC.

What is the warranty period?

The Samsung 990 EVO PLUS comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

Can I use this in an older PCIe 3.0 system?

Yes, it is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0, but you will experience speeds limited to the maximum bandwidth of the PCIe 3.0 interface.

Troubleshooting

Drive not detected in BIOS or Windows

Ensure the M.2 drive is fully seated in the slot and check if your BIOS settings are set to NVMe mode rather than legacy SATA.

Performance slower than advertised

Verify that the drive is installed in a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 compatible slot and ensure the latest NVMe drivers and firmware are installed via Samsung Magician.

System overheating or throttling

Check your chassis airflow and ensure the drive is not blocked by other components; consider installing a secondary M.2 heatsink if under constant heavy load.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the 990 EVO PLUS requires an available M.2 2280 slot on your motherboard. To install, ensure your PC is powered down and disconnected from the wall.
