In case anyone else gets tricked like I did, this drive is basically an entry level performance unit, dramless. Samsung is piggybacking off the naming scheme reputation to hock these basic drives to unwitting consumers.

tl;you're STILL going to read? OK, here ya go:
Here's a rundown on how you would perceive the speed difference between the 970 EVO and the 980. At these verified _maximum_ transfer rates - if you are writing a 20 GB file okay? WRITING a 20GB file (assuming the source drive is not a bottleneck, i.e. is equivalent for both), the _theoretical_ elapsed time for the different SSDs is:
The 980 will write that 20GB in ~6.7 seconds (at 3000 MB/s)
The 970 EVO Plus will write that 20GB in ~6.1 seconds (at 3300 MB/s)
The 970 EVO will write that 20GB in ~8 seconds (at 2500 MB/s)
Which is to say that the differences would normally not be perceived. When considering that the 980, without the DRAM, is generating less heat - which matters - I would definitely go with the 980 for better heat management and a $20 savings over the 970 EVO Plus (2021-05-16 prices). You're only losing .6 seconds for those frequent huge file writes, heh.
20 GB is easily 3 to 5 full-length videos, in HD, or more - in under 7 seconds! Crazy.
Yep, go with the 980 with lower heat and wave goodbye to the .6 seconds... Ehh, probably not enough time to wave - wink goodbye. ;-)
As far as downloads - I cannot conceive of a situation where these SSDs will have ANY effect upon the speed. Period. Even on a super-fast broadband connection, the network is going to be the bottleneck. We are not quite getting multiple GB/s on typical broadband service. Typically, even a SATA drive at 550 MB/s will surpass most broadband download speeds, substantially even - most of the time."
- Quoted from Amazon Review
The random r/w seems to be better than the 970 Pro, but everything else seems to be worse

my prebuilt Dell PC came with a WD 512GB nvme ssd.(not sure which kind it is, since it's OEM) A few months ago, there was a good deal on a FLIR attachment for old iPhones, so I bought one to play with. The WD SSD was the only red area in the PC(while copying large 4k videos files back and forth with an external HDD) It was even hotter than the i5-10400 running at 100%. I got a little nervous, so I installed a heatsink over it and added an extra 80mm pointing direct at the SSD.
