The 4TB 990 EVO Plus stands out as a very fast, cool running NVMe for big storage upgrades, gaming, and everyday use. It is described as a strong fit for thin laptops and external enclosures, and HMB based performance is said to be close to DRAM drives for normal workloads while using less power and heat. The main caveat is that it lacks onboard DRAM, so sustained writes and PS5 use may not be ideal. The deal price also drew attention because 4TB SSD pricing has been far higher lately, making this feel like a rare capacity play.
Common Questions (5)
Many received genuine Samsung drives with matching production dates, and Samsung Magician or Linux tools verified authenticity. A few orders were reported as mislabeled makeup kits, so checking the box contents and recording the unboxing is prudent.
Yes, it was widely treated as a strong buy because 4TB NVMe pricing had been much higher, with recent references around $550-$600 and Samsung's own pricing over $1000. Historical comments also place similar 4TB Samsung drives around $200-$250 before the recent spike.
It should work in a PS5, but the PS5 does not natively support the drive's HMB cache, so performance can be lower than with a DRAM-cache SSD like the 990 Pro. For gaming, it still ranks well enough to be considered a strong PS5 upgrade.
No, it uses HMB instead of onboard DRAM. That keeps power and heat lower, and performance is close to DRAM drives when the OS supports HMB, but it can slow as it fills up and is less ideal as a boot drive.
It runs very cool in everyday use and is often fine without cooling, including in ultra-thin laptops. For sustained heavy workloads, extra cooling can help, and a heatsink choice is flexible because the drive stays relatively cool.

Could be worse. You could now be the proud owner of $300 makeup, arguing with amazon about a restocking fee.
did you get the actual drive? It's reassuring that the fake ones seem to be rare
