High-performance PCIe 4.0 storage in the 2TB low-profile configuration
The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB MZ-V9P2T0BW combines Samsung V-NAND TLC, an in-house controller and 2GB LPDDR4 cache for high-performance client storage. This exact capacity has its own random-read, power and endurance profile, while the non-heatsink design leaves thermal management to the compatible host system.
PCIe 4.0 x4
The drive uses PCIe 4.0 x4 with NVMe 2.0 and is backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0.
7,450/6,900MB/s
Samsung rates every listed 990 PRO capacity up to 7,450MB/s sequential read and 6,900MB/s sequential write.
1,400K IOPS/1,550K IOPS
This 2TB profile is rated up to 1,400K IOPS random read and 1,550K random write IOPS at QD32.
2GB LPDDR4 cache
The exact 2TB model includes 2GB of Samsung-specified LPDDR4 DRAM cache memory.
Low-profile module
The non-heatsink model is 2.3mm high maximum; confirm compatible host cooling and airflow.
Security and warranty
AES 256-bit, TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE1667 support accompany a five-year limited or 1,200TBW warranty, whichever comes first.
Who is the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB MZ-V9P2T0BW best for?
A strong choice for
- Compatible high-performance client PCs
- Gaming and creative workflows
- Systems with a compatible M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slot
- Samsung Magician-supported storage management
- 2TB buyers needing the non-heatsink configuration
Consider another model if you need
- Your system lacks an M.2 2280 PCIe slot
- Your host cannot accommodate the 80 × 22 × 2.3mm dimensions
- Your platform cannot provide sufficient airflow or cooling
- You require endurance above 1,200TBW
- You need an enterprise or data-centre SSD
