The Samsung 990 Pro has a strong consumer performance profile. It offers burst read speeds of 3 GB/s and burst write speeds of 5 GB/s. The 990 Pro also offers respectable out of cache performance. At current prices (1TB $120 USD, 2TB $165 USD and 4TB $320 USD) the Samsung 990 Pro offers worse value for money than the WD Black SN850X. Samsung’s superior SSD technology allowed them to dominate the consumer market since SSDs became mainstream in 2010. However, in today’s market, their technology no longer justifies a price premium.

While being priced similarly and performs similarly to competitor SSD. This PCI-E 4.0 SSD is priced little bit lower than other PCI-E 4.0 SSDs. Offering one of the fastest R/W speeds, this SSD pretty much guarantee having to wait only few seconds to transfer most (if not the entire) of your photos, videos, documents or game libraries. Random 4K R/W is slightly lower when compared with Intel 900p/905p but worth it for very fast and new PCI-E 4.0 interface and obviously 1TB of storage. Suggested to pay 10 USD extra for heatsink though. [Oct '19ColdSpy]
