Question 1

Will this fit Asus tug gaming b550 plus wifi II?

Accepted Answer

The SAMSUNG 990 PRO w/ Heatsink SSD is an M.2 2280 form factor, which is compatible with the M.2 slots that support PCI-Express Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0. You would need to check the specifications of the Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus Wi-Fi II motherboard to ensure it has a compatible M.2 slot.

Question 2

Will this fit under the built in heatsinks of an MSI MEG Z790 ACE motherboard?

Accepted Answer

I only have experience with the non-heatsink version of the Samsung 990 Pro and it fits fine with the MSI MEG Z790.  I believe the heatsink version will not fit, unless the cover is removed which voids the warranty.

Question 3

Can you remove the heatsink from the model with a heatsink, and use the m.2 without it? The motherboard has a heat transfer system to mitigate heat from the device it seems and the heatsink interferes with it.

Accepted Answer

I had the same issue.  I could not get the heatsink removed. It has special fasteners that did not come out.  Ended up destroying the drive,    Good luck.

Question 4

Is the 990 PRO worth choosing over a cheaper PS5 SSD?

Accepted Answer

Choose it if you want a high-spec PCIe 4.0 drive with an included heatsink. Reddit users discussing PS5 expansion report that faster drives may not noticeably improve game loading over drives that already meet the console’s requirements, so compare price and capacity before paying more for speed.

Question 5

Is the 990 PRO with Heatsink compatible with a PS5?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This 1TB model is listed as PS5-compatible and includes a heatsink. A Reddit PS5 expansion discussion says an M.2 drive needs effective heat dissipation, and a YouTube video shows this heatsink version being installed in a PS5.

Question 6

Should I choose this 1TB 990 PRO or a 2TB SSD with slightly lower speeds?

Accepted Answer

Choose based on how much storage you need. The 990 PRO offers up to 7,450 MB/s sequential reads, but Reddit users comparing 1TB and 2TB PS5 drives discuss favoring the larger capacity when the speed difference is unlikely to be noticeable in play.

Question 7

Do I need to buy a separate heatsink for this SSD?

Accepted Answer

No. This is the heatsink-equipped version, so it includes a heatsink rather than requiring you to purchase and install one separately. Check that the installed drive fits your device’s M.2 slot and clearance requirements.

Question 8

Does this SSD come with a heatsink?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The heatsink is integrated, so this version does not require a separate heatsink for cooling. Check your device’s clearance before installation because the heatsink is part of the drive.

Question 9

Will this SSD work in a PS5?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This 1TB drive is listed as PS5-compatible and has a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, an M.2 2280 form factor, and an integrated heatsink. Confirm the heatsink’s dimensions fit your console’s M.2 bay before installation.

Question 10

Will it actually reach 7,450 MB/s?

Accepted Answer

7,450 MB/s is the listed maximum sequential read speed, not a guaranteed speed in every device or workload. Actual results depend on the host system and usage; Best Buy Q&A includes a buyer asking about a lower-than-advertised PS5 read-speed result.
