Samsung makes the best SSDs hands down. I have used them in over 30 computers in the last 15 years with no issues at all. One even has 24TB written to it. Sure, other competitors are catching up, but they just cannot top the performance, reliability, and longevity. I have tested the 990 Pro up against the 970 Evo, 980 Pro (Gen 4), Western Digital SN810 (Gen 4), and Crucial (Gen 4). Just make sure your 990 Pro firmware is up to date! The prior issues with some of the 980 Pros and 990 Pros was solved with the firmware update.
I have recently installed 990 Pros in 4 HP Omen laptops and tested the above mentioned competitors in the same laptops. The others can come close to beating the 990 Pro on a segment or 2 on CrystalDisk, but there is a significant difference in the 990 Pro. The Western Digital did surprisingly well. I have included a pic of a WD test and a 990 Pro test. Neither were enhanced, optimized, or set to performance. Just a straight out of the box test on laptops with less than 30 minutes of up time.
Side Note: The UserBenchmark test had a hard time reading the 990 Pro for some reason, but was able to test the others just fine.

I use this to make a clone of the system disk of one of my computers, to serve as a backup. I can do this relatively quickly. I repeat the process every two months. This provides a relatively quick way to recover in the event of a major system crash.

Great SSD m.2 for the money very very fast even when using a pc that only have PCI-E gen 3 loads up games very quickly start up time is way faster than my old ssd definitely a noticeable difference when playing games and their load times haven’t had issues also if you do buy make sure you download Samsung magician and UPDATE IMMEDIATELY to make sure that the old firmware doesnt shorten the life of it since it’s a know problem with these m.2 980 and 990 evo

Purchase lots of 4.0 drives including many different manufacturers as I operate large raid arrays. Not going to lie, these drives are incredible and with testing 12 drives thru 3x 4.0 PCIe slots with CPU/Software based raid 0 stripe and these are the numbers.
Definition of RAW awesomeness
Tested other manufacturers and while they are pretty close I wasn't seeing any drop in either top end or sustained reads or writes so throughly impressed.
And oh boy, talk about IOPS, this has more than anything I've run, infact a lot more legs on it than any other controller. Samsung did a great job!
Net findings: WELL WORTH THE MONEY

Bought this to use with my new Mac Mini M2 for external storage. Super fast, can't tell it is external. Everything I expected plus more! Used with C2598-NVMe enclosure and it registers at 10 Gbps

Samsung is a brand known for the quality and reliability of its products. The 990 PRO comes with a 5-year warranty and is rated for up to 600 TBW (terabytes written), ensuring its longevity.Ideal for loading heavy games, editing 4K/8K videos and transferring large volumes of data without stuttering.

Extremely fast NVME drive. It also runs much cooler than the WD SN850X I also have.
Earlier drives had a firmware issue but the one I bought had the latest firmware already.

Works and fits as expected! Installation was super easy and I prefer this type of storage as it runs faster and creates less clutter in the computer itself!

I am very satisfied with my purchase, it is the second time I have purchased one of these, one for my Ps5 and currently in use for my PC and the readings and speed are extremely good

This 990 pro is a beast and overall the speed transfer rate is worth the added bucks over crucial or any other available nvme m.2 drives. Top pick for me for sure 10/10 stars
