Amazon currently has the 990 PRO for $10 more, after a $30 coupon clip - net $160
https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-In...B0BHJJ9Y77

It's not worth a separate thread, for the mods to combine later, so I'll just post the full product name here for deal alerts' triggers.
SAMSUNG 990 PRO Series - 2TB PCIe Gen4. X4 NVMe 2.0c - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM)

Bonus:
If you're in the market for Amazon Warehouse, there's been quite a few 980 and 990 PRO sticks sailing through it as I type this.
Generally, I'm seeing the 980 PRO for ≈$123 and 990 PRO for ≈$135. There must be a batch of Used-Good, because that's the only quality I saw. YMMV, ofc.

Edit:
Don't forget to check the Amazon Warehouse variations with included heatsinks. They've also seen some price cuts.

Ha, not for this price. 2TB 990 Pro maybe but still probably not.

Will it throttle itself if it gets too hot? Or, it'll just burn-out? Confused

Do we have to use the provided heatsink? Confused

I think it will interfere with the heatsink covers from motherboards.

As I mentioned over 6 months ago, the tensions between China/Tiawan/US also caused the prices to go up. Since Tiawan is thee largest provider of high end chips in the world.

Yes, if a NVME drive gets too hot it will throttle and slow itself down till it cools off.

As for the heatsink it should be removable but how easily I am not sure, you can always buy the 990 version for $10 more with no heatsink.

Lucked out and got a 2tb 990 Pro last month for $120 at the local Staples.

Samsung and the other chip manufacturers decided to cut production. Lower supply = higher consumer cost. A 2tb Solidigm P41 Plus was, what, $70 or $80 last fall? That's the 1tb price now.

My goal is to get rid of that noisy, clanky 10GB Seagate spinner in my desktop PC amidst all the quiet SSD drives in there too, but at this price for only 2TB it ain't happening anytime soon though I did just buy a Silicon Power 4TB NVMe for only a few dollars more so I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

Meh, SSD prices have definitely increased. I am glad I pulled the trigger on the below deal back in October 2023:

I accidentally bought my 990pro with a heatsink. It was easy to remove the heatsink with the right tiny screwdriver, and it works great in my mobo's standard nvme heatsink

It's simple enough, however it will void your warranty as the drive sticker is on the heatsink along with a void warranty sticker.

Bought this when it was about $100.00. Stuck it in my PS5. Been there for some time. Has worked well. If you have a Motherboard with heatsinks you can remove the heatsink from this drive. Or just use the heatsink and leave the one on the board off. Both will work. With all that said though there are better options out there. A couple months ago the Crucial gen 4 drive 4tb was $214.00. Prices have gone up though. YMMV.
