Question 1

does it include the hold down screw???

Accepted Answer

Generally NO screws are included with any SSD I have ever purchased, for laptop, desktop, console, etc. There is usually a screw, a spring loaded clip, or a plastic "plug in tube" or some simple catch to retain the drive, and are usually provided by the board MFG whether its an addon or built in.

Question 2

Is the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD easy to initialize and partition?

Accepted Answer

Definitely, the same as any other SSD card, and was no problem.

Question 3

Is this SSD suitable for a new PC build?

Accepted Answer

The SAMSUNG 990 EVO PLUS SSD 1TB is highly praised for its exceptional speed and performance, making it a preferred choice for both new builds and upgrades.

Question 4

How does the speed of this SSD compare to a traditional SATA drive?

Accepted Answer

NVMe drives, like this product, often offer much faster read/write speeds than drives using the SATA interface. This SSD, in particular, offers reads/writes up to a few gigabytes per second, substantially more than the max throughput of SATA III (which is around 500 MB/s).

Question 5

Does the Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD install directly into the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

On newer motherboards, there are dedicated slots for NVMe drives, such as the Samsung 990 EVO Plus, to be fitted (may be hidden under a heatsink). In case you prefer the drive to be external, there are enclosures online that can fit these drives. PCIe cards are also available if you desire to mount this drive internally, if no dedicated slots are available. The dedicated slots on motherboards almost always take full advantage of the speeds NVMe drives provide, so use those when speed is prioritized.

Question 6

How is the installation process of the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD?

Accepted Answer

The install of my memory involves  removing 
the video card (on  my install) then you can unscrew the tiny screw holding it down to the motherboard.

Question 7

Does the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD work well as a high-speed storage option?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD is highly praised for its fast read and write speeds and reliable performance, making it a suitable high-speed storage option.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

For a non gaming Pc this is perfect, I purchased one of these for my father's computer, his pc is gen 5 and this spans both gen 4 and 5. But in actuality any M.2 drive with do that. I recently purchased a Gen 5 4 TB drive and it's on my Gen 4 system right now, it's working at the fastest speed Gen 4 can operate at and when I get the rest of my Gen 5 parts, it will run at it's Gen 5 rated speeds.
