Overview
The Samsung 990 PRO MZ-V9P2T0B/AM is a 2TB internal solid-state drive designed for compatible desktop computers, laptops, and supported gaming systems. It uses PCIe 4.0 x4 and NVMe 2.0 technology to provide high-speed storage for operating systems, applications, games, and large files.
Technical Information
The drive uses Samsung V-NAND flash memory, an in-house Samsung controller, and 2GB of low-power DDR4 cache memory. Its sequential performance reaches up to 7,450 MB/s for reads and 6,900 MB/s for writes under suitable test conditions. Actual performance depends on the host system, workload, firmware, and configuration.
Compatibility
This SSD uses the M.2 2280 form factor and requires a compatible M.2 slot supporting PCIe NVMe storage. PCIe 4.0 x4 provides the specified interface, while compatibility with other PCIe generations depends on the host system. Check motherboard or device documentation for supported drive types and available physical clearance before installation.
Key Features
- 2TB storage capacity for applications, games, operating systems, and data.
- PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 support.
- Sequential read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,900 MB/s.
- TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, and automatic garbage collection support.
- AES 256-bit encryption and TCG/Opal support for compatible security environments.
Applications
- Desktop and laptop storage upgrades for compatible systems.
- Gaming libraries and supported gaming system storage.
- Professional workloads involving large files and frequent data transfers.
- Operating system, application, and project storage.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before ordering, verify that the target device supports an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD and provides the required installation clearance. This model is the standard 990 PRO without a factory-integrated heatsink; confirm the host system's thermal requirements and any manufacturer-specific installation restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this the 2TB Samsung 990 PRO model?
Yes. MZ-V9P2T0B/AM identifies the 2TB Samsung 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD.
2. Will it work in a PCIe 3.0 system?
The 990 PRO supports backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0. Actual performance will depend on the host interface and system configuration.
3. Can I install this SSD in any M.2 slot?
No. The slot must support compatible M.2 NVMe storage. An M.2 slot designed only for SATA drives may not support this SSD.
4. Does this model include a heatsink?
This is the standard 990 PRO model, not the separately designated 990 PRO with Heatsink. Check the exact MPN when comparing products.
5. What warranty applies to this SSD?
Samsung specifies a five-year limited warranty or a 1,200 TBW endurance limit, subject to the applicable warranty terms and conditions.
