This exceptional drive is perfect for both your gaming PC and PlayStation 5. It surpasses Sony's minimum speed requirements for the PS5, delivering blazing-fast sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and 6,300 MB/s respectively. While faster than the standard 990 Evo, it's slightly slower than the 990 Pro. The key difference? The 990 Evo Plus lacks DRAM. However, this is inconsequential for PS5 performance and for PCs, it utilizes HMB (host memory buffer), effectively using a negligible amount of system RAM. Gamers will experience no noticeable performance gap.

The drive lacks a pre-installed heatsink, but its new single-sided design is energy-efficient and generates minimal heat. This typically eliminates the need for a heatsink, ensuring flawless operation in a PS5 without thermal throttling. Adding a heatsink is entirely optional, though.
