SeekerSamsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD
A dramatic improvement over the 980 Pro. The 990 Pro is a drive that can genuinely match the best that Seagate, WD and Kingston have to offer. However, you pay for this privilege, and the largest drive size is only 2TB. Those looking for a better TBW and lower cost per GB might consider other options.

The Samsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD is a top-tier performer. That, and the company’s sterling reputation would make it an attractive option—if there weren’t equally competent drives available for quite a bit less.
