Samsung Magician software

The user-friendly software solution helps you to always keep an eye on your SSD. With it, you can keep your drive up-to-date with updates, monitor status parameters and speed, and even optimise performance.

¹ The theoretical best possible sequential read speed of PCIe 4.0 is 8,000 MB/s - the 990 PRO achieves 7,450 MB/s.

² Sequential and random write performance measured with TurboWrite intelligent technology enabled. Intelligent TurboWrite only works within a certain data transfer size. Performance may vary based on SSD firmware, system hardware and configuration, and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service center.

³ Test System Configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor CPU @ 3.80GHz, DDR4 3600MHz 16GB x 2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset - ASRock-X570 Taich.

⁴ To maximize the performance of 990 PRO, please check Intel or AMD website if your system supports PCIe 4.0.

⁵ 980 PRO Sequential Read Speed - 1129/877 MB/Watt, 990 PRO Sequential Read Speed - 1380/1319 MB/Watt based on internal testing results of 1TB capacity model.

    Capacity: 2 TBStyle Name: 990 PROVerified Purchase
    I bought a nice laptop from HP, and even though it had good specs, the one thing that let it down was the Nvme drive. Not exactly the quickest. So when my Mrs had the sudden urge of kindness towards me, I took the chance and got her to order me one of these bad boys.

    Yes, it is fast. I got the 2Tb version which I have now installed Linux Mint onto it, as Windows 11 plays up so much you lose the benefit of having good hardware.

    Well worth it if your system can handle it.

    Highly recommended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great SSDs, but the situation with Bitlocker isn't ideal
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2024
    Capacity: 2 TBStyle Name: 990 PROVerified Purchase
    These Samsung SSDs offer great performance and reliability overall. The main issue is with how the self encryption works.

    From the factory they come with OPALv2 enabled, but not eDrive. So you can use sedutil or the BIOS to encrypt them, but not Bitlocker. To enable Bitlocker support you need to use Samsung Magician. The issue is that you need to run it under Windows, and then re-install Windows because it won't recognize the drive as eDrive complaint until you do. Arguably more of a flaw in the way that Microsoft does things, but Crucial seem to be able to make both eDrive and OPALv2 available from the factory.

    Samsung drives are not cheap, but I expect them to last and have had good results in the past.

    With the increasing SSD prices I wanted to fill the last M.2 slot on my motherboard and wanted a decent SSD at a decent price and something fast and reliable. When this came up on offer it fitted all those criteria. Easy install which took minutes, at switch on Samsung Magician detected a new firmware was available. After the SSD setup in Disk Management which again took a minute to do and was very easy I updated the firmware and rebooted. I then did a few bench tests in Samsung Magician and getting approx 7439 Read and 6950 Write and temps of 26C and this is without any additional heatsink added. This last slot on my motherboard doesn't have any compared to the other 2 slots.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2023
    Capacity: 2 TBStyle Name: 990 PROVerified Purchase
    These are fast drives.

    Mine came with the updated (3B2QJXD7) firmware already applied. Manufacturing production date was end of May 2023. This was 2 months prior to the purchase date, so these are confirmed new stock not the older drives with bad firmware.

    Installation was easy enough. The drive comes in a box a little wider than a phone, with a slip out plastic tray with the drive held in that. No m.2 screw or mini screwdriver is included. Make sure you've got the one that came with your motherboard, or order another. You'll also need a micro screwdriver for the screw as they're very small. Depending on your motherboard and GPU setup, you may also need to move the GPU to access the m.2 slot to install. Some motherboards (thankfully) are now starting to use clips for the drive rather than screw stand offs.

    After installation, the BIOS picked up the drive on power on. If you're doing a clean install of Windows, you can continue as normal. Otherwise, Samsung do offer two tools to help move your existing Windows install to the new drive. These are Samsung Data Migration and Samsung Magician.

    As the name suggests Data Migration will allow you to clone your existing drive to the new one so you can boot from it. It works really well, but may take some time if you're moving directly from a Harddisk to NVMe M.2.

    The Samsung Magician gives you some additional information about the drive and allows you to resize some dead (unused) space on the drive to help prolong the life span of the drive. It's only really needed if you're writing a large amount of data constantly to the drive with it near full. But it's a nice feature never the less.

    I've got two of these drives and they're on a 10Gig network and are heavily hit and not had any issues with heat, so you probably don't need a heat sink. The price of the drive with an heat sink is a little excessive if you do want one. Check other listings on amazon for aftermarket heatsinks that clip on in the same way... but again depending on your motherboard it may already include a heatsink for the m.2 slot.

    Overall, a really nice purchase if you want very fast read/write speeds with a large amount of space.

    Hey, it's ram. I put it in my computer and it started working!! It's hard to think of something clever to write for ram except that it does its job!! I like it. It makes certain websites load faster!!! LoL!!! I may need to get more ram so, they'll load even faster!! Cheers!!

    Un NVMe M.2 con rendimiento excepcional, tenia el modelo anterior (980 pro) y a pesar que son muy cercanos en cuestión de rendimiento, me gusto como se comporta el sistema con este modulo de memoria. En cargas de uso normal la temperatura se mantiene en 50 grados C, el discipador es un tanto delgado, supongo para que pueda usarse en PS5.

    la tasa de transferencia de copiado se mantiene alta en archivos de grandes por mas tiempo en comparación del modelo anterior, aunque yo se que un PCI e5 es mas rápido, la verdad es que en cuestión de costo-beneficio no te vas a arrepentir.

    La cajita llegó un poco maltratada porque solo le pusieron una bolsa de plástico al enviarla, por eso 4 estrellas.

    El producto en si es fenomenal. Lo recomiendo y lo volvería a a comprar.

    Having upgraded to the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with Heatsink, I've experienced a blend of high-performance and a noteworthy cooling solution. The SSD's speed is phenomenal, significantly reducing load times and enhancing overall system responsiveness.

    While the heatsink is a welcome addition, it might be a bit overkill for everyday users and could potentially lead to compatibility issues with some PC builds. Additionally, the price point is on the higher side, but the combination of top-tier performance and the added heatsink justifies the investment for those seeking a premium storage solution.

    Overall, the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with Heatsink is a powerhouse for those who demand speed and appreciate the thoughtful addition of a cooling solution.
