Samsung 990 PRO (2 TB, Heatsink/PS5)
This is the 990 PRO 2TB with a factory heatsink, the same pro-tier 7,450 MB/s Gen4 drive aimed at PS5 expansion or bare-M.2 boards that lack their own cooling. It is the right SKU when your slot has no built-in heatsink. If your motherboard already includes M.2 cooling, the bare version is cheaper and identical underneath.
