Why the 990 Pro is a default PS5 recommendation

The Samsung 990 Pro pairs a strong Gen4 controller with high sustained speeds and excellent efficiency, which keeps it cool and consistent during the long writes a PS5 does when installing games. The Heatsink edition is sized for the expansion bay, so it drops in without any extra parts.

In the console the 990 Pro comfortably exceeds Sony's 5,500 MB/s read requirement. You will not notice it being faster than other good Gen4 drives in games, but its reliability record and the bay-ready heatsink make it an easy, safe pick.

Which capacity and version to buy

2TB is the sweet spot for most players and usually the best price per terabyte; 4TB suits large libraries. Buy the 990 Pro with Heatsink for a one-step install, or the bare 990 Pro if you already have a low-profile heatsink under 11.25mm.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Samsung 990 Pro good for PS5?

Yes. It is a Gen4 M.2 drive that exceeds Sony's 5,500 MB/s read requirement, and the 990 Pro with Heatsink fits the PS5 bay out of the box. It is a top recommendation for 2TB and 4TB expansion.

Do I need the 990 Pro with Heatsink for PS5?

You need some heatsink. The 990 Pro with Heatsink is the simplest option because it is sized for the bay. The bare 990 Pro works too if you add a low-profile heatsink under 11.25mm.
