The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is a fantastic drive for both your gaming PC and PS5. It easily surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements, boasting sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively. While not quite as fast as the 990 Pro, it's significantly faster than the standard 990 Evo. The key difference? This drive lacks DRAM. However, for PS5 gaming, this is irrelevant. For PCs, it utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), borrowing a negligible amount of system RAM—a difference gamers won't notice.

This SSD doesn't include a pre-installed heatsink. But, as a newer single-sided design, it's energy-efficient and generates less heat than older SSDs. This means a heatsink is likely unnecessary, even in a PS5. However, adding one for extra peace of mind is perfectly acceptable.
