How do I install the Samsung Magician software?

Download the software from the Samsung website and follow the installation instructions.

Can I use the 990 PRO in a laptop?

Yes, if your laptop has an M.2 slot and supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs.

What is the warranty period for the 990 PRO?

The warranty period is typically five years, but it's best to check the specific warranty information from the retailer.
