SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 7,450 MB/s for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations, MZ-V9P4T0B/AM

For those of you that were wondering if you can use this with your XBOX Series X/S - YOU CAN! I put this in a SABRENT Rocket RGB USB C 20Gbps M.2 SATA/NVMe SSD Enclosure (EC-RGBG). Two things that you need to be aware of. First, you need to use your computer/Laptop to allocate/initialize this hard drive (under Computer Management/Disk Management) and then you can format as NTFS. Second, since my XBOX does not have a USB C input for external hard drives you cannot use the cable that comes with the Sabrent above (USB C to USB C), you will need to use a quality high speed USB A to USB C cable (3.1 Gen 2 capable of 7500Mbs or higher). After doing all of this, you can then connect to your XBOX and it will recognize it as an external hard drive and prompt you to format it for XBOX. One final thing is that if you are writing a lot of files to this, it will get hot which may cause the transfer rate to slow down. Just don't forget to remove the plastic protective film over the built-in thermal padding for heat dissipation in your Sabrent enclosure before putting it back together. Since this does get hot on the exterior with use, the aluminum body must be doing its job to dissipate the internal heat!

The product arrived well packed and protected in its box.The installation was supposed to be quick, but since it comes with a built-in heatsink, I had to remove the one that comes by default with the Gigabyte Z790M AX ICE motherboard and I was missing the screw to secure it. So, you know, get one.I just installed it as the main operating system disk in the slot closest to the processor and it works very well. I recommend downloading the Samsung Magician program to control the LED light and monitor it.I also took the opportunity to do some reading and writing tests and I think they are within expectations.So far, this product is going very well for me. I recommend it.

Once in a while I get a random disconnect in Windows, but I really have no idea if it's the drive or the enclosure I'm using. It's pretty rare now though. The drive was easy to install and performs super well.

it works so well! tons of storage and it runs quick! super easy to install and worth the extra money for all the space!

Works perfect for my PS5, and its easy to install! Would definitely recommend.

Spent a long time researching specs and bought this on prime day. It met all minimum requirements for ps5 and exceeded some. The performance seems on point have not had any issues playing games directly from memory. Very easy to install and drive is recognized immediately by PS5. It comes with a built in heat sink but I bought a separate slotted vent to help just in case. I don't remember much about the warranty but I haven't had to use it so that's a win. Great value for the money actually the best price for the specs needed. I'm assuming warranty is good since product seems to be free of defects.

23 June 20241) SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 MZ-V9P2T0B/AMSold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc $169.992) Thermalright HR09 2280 PROSold by: Thermalright Direct $8.993) Noctua NF-A6x25Sold by: Noctua Cooling Solutions $14.95TLDR: Good M.2I decided to go ahead and put a heatsink on this. Heat has been, is and shall always be the #1 enemy to electronics. Unfortunately, heat dissipation engineering is often underrated, overlooked and badly done, if done at all. With this setup, it never gets above 30c during Samsung Magician performance test. Base mobo temp is 29C.Before attaching the HR09 I removed the sticker form the M.2, the silicone pad from the HR09 and applied Prolimatech PK-3 to the HR09. The picture shows TF-7 but I found that stuff way too thick and didn’t spread well. I used Acetone and q-tips to get the sticker gum off the chip tops. The bottom of the HR09 is steel and really needs to be aluminum but the chips are on top of the M.2 so that is where the most heat can be dissipated. I then attached an NF-A6x25 to the HR09 using some nickel wire. I also needed to augment the foam pad between the M.2 and the mobo. Without doing these mods, it was as if the HR09 wasn't there.My tried and true method of applying heatsink paste that works perfect every single time, no fuss, no worry, and gives visible indication it worked and that the paste isn't old dried out beyond it's shelf life: Every heatsink is always a mm or two wider than the object it is sinking. Simply run tape down the sides a mm or two in from the sides and spread paste on with a single edged razor blade. The narrow thin tape on the edges act like runners for the razor blade to skate on. Hold blade at an angle, it isn't critical, between 10 and 60 degrees doesnt matter. Then peel the tape off. Apparently I didn't take a picture of the HR09 when I did that so I am including a picture of the CPU heatsink done in the exact same manner to give you the idea. They really should include some narrow, thin cellophane tape and a single sided razor blade instead of a uselss spatula.Great drive for a reasonable price. Very fast.
