Very good80/100
- Decent performance
- PCIe 5.0 x2 or PCIe 4.0 x4
- Five-year guarantee and good TBW rating
- PCIe 5.0 performance was inconsistent and slower than PCIe 4.0 performance
- Expensive compared to the low-cost PCIe 4.0 competition
The 990 EVO from Samsung can be operated with the PCIe 5.0 standard, but is limited to two lanes (x2) and strictly speaking behaves like a PCIe 4.0 SSD. A somewhat expensive and not particularly fast PCIe 4.0 SSD at that.
This test report belongs to a different type: 990 EVO (2000 GB, M.2 2280)
