990 Pro has an edge but would choose whichever you can get the cheapest.

I notice it's $50 more, $180, with heatsink.

So this 990 Pro or Nextorage Japan Internal SSD 2TB with Heatsink @ $111.83 ?

Only advantage to me with the Samsung is using the same software for firmware updates.
Might not use it right away but will eventually use it.
Almost got the Skyinx Platinum 2TB for $108. But this has better performance overall.
The review is literally titled return of the King
If I want to update firmware, I boot into an old 256gb nvme with a windows install on it (using Rufus Windows to Go) , install the WD Dashboard, and upgrade the firmware. Then boot back into my Linux machine.
Shouldn't need to update firmware often, but if something happens like Samsung where you need to update firmware urgently and are on Linux, you'll need to workaround it.

Some of these 990s were defective with greatly shortened lifespans. Users were reporting extremely high drive degradation (<90% drive life after 1 month). Unless you want a drive that only lasts a year, I would buy WD or another brand for this generation.
