Samsung SSD 990 EVO Plus 2TB SSD Review

Simon Crisp December 30, 2024 Featured Tech News, Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews, SSD Drives


We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs.

The SSD990 EVO Plus doesn't come with a heatsink as such but instead relies on a combination of a heat spreader label on the back of the drive, nickel plating on the controller and Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology to keep the drive working at an optimal temperature.

This system does work pretty well as the hottest the drive got when being pushed hard during our benchmarking was  49° C (during runs of ATTO) which is 21° C off of the stated maximum operating temperature of 70°C. For the bulk of our testing, the temperature averaged around 42° C, well below that maximum temperature while the 4K-based tests averaged 38.5° C.
