Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe SSD

The fastest consumer PCIe 4.0 SSD with exceptional endurance and Samsung's proven reliability.

👍 Pros

  • ✓ Blazing fast sequential speeds
  • ✓ Excellent random I/O
  • ✓ Great endurance rating
  • ✓ Samsung Magician software

👎 Cons

  • ✗ PCIe 4.0, not 5.0
  • ✗ Runs warm under sustained loads
  • ✗ Pricier than competitors

Samsung's 990 Pro continues to be the benchmark for PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs, and the 2TB model is the sweet spot for most Canadian PC builders.

With sequential read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds of 6,900 MB/s, it's virtually as fast as PCIe 4.0 allows.

At $219 CAD for 2TB, it's not the cheapest option, but Samsung's track record for reliability and the included Magician software suite make it worth the premium.
