Frequently Asked Questions

Technical Details & Purchase Policies

What is the difference between Samsung 990 EVO Plus and 990 PRO?
While the flagship 990 PRO includes dedicated onboard DRAM cache and reaches 7,450 MB/s, the 990 EVO Plus utilizes a next-gen 5nm Piccolo controller with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) architecture. This allows it to reach blistering 7,250 MB/s speeds with up to 73% better energy efficiency, lower heat output, and a more accessible price point.
Does the 990 EVO Plus support PCIe 5.0 slots?
Yes. It features innovative hybrid support: it can run at full PCIe 4.0 x4 (4 lanes) or on PCIe 5.0 x2 (2 lanes), providing maximum versatility across modern motherboard slot configurations.
Is this SSD compatible with PlayStation 5 (PS5)?
Yes, its 7,250 MB/s read speed exceeds Sony's 5,500 MB/s recommendation for the PS5 expansion slot. For optimal sustained performance in the PS5 compartment, pairing it with a standard M.2 heatsink is recommended.
What warranty is included with this SSD at AHW Store?
It comes with an official 5-year authorized Samsung warranty in Egypt (or up to 1,200 TBW endurance), backed by direct service and technical support at AHW Store.
How fast is delivery when ordering from AHW Store?
Orders are processed swiftly and delivered across all governorates of Egypt within 2 to 7 business days with full tracking and insured transit.
