Samsung 990 Evo Plus Solid State Drive Overview
Taking a look at the drive itself it is going to be your standard M.2 2280 (80mm) drive which will easily slot into your motherboard.
On the main side of the drive is a simple sticker that covers the controller and NAND. Having no heatsink really speaks to the efficiency gains Samsung is able to achieve with this drive.
Flipping over to the back we have another sticker, but no chips or anything. This sticker is actually a heat spreader which is going to help dissipate heat. Being single-sided allows this drive to be installed in many more devices.
Removing the sticker on the top of the drive we find the Samsung 5nm Piccolo controller. The controller itself is nickel-coated which will help with heat.
There is also a single NAND chip on this side of the drive. It is Samsung’s 236-layer (V8) TLC NAND.
