Until a couple days ago, Walmart had the WD SN850X for 134.99, and I've seen the 990 Pro on sale recently for $149.99, and one would be better off waiting for one of those deals to return. If I needed a 2TB at this very moment, I would spend the extra $10 this drive costs and head to amazon and get the SK hynix P41 Platinum, or if you need a model with a heat sink, spend the extra 20.00, I think Adorama currently has a deal on the SN850X w/heatsink. Any of those choices are well worth the small upcharge. Actually even the plethora of Gen 4x4 dram-less 2TB drive deals that pop up on here and based off the MaxioTech MAP1602A Falcon Lite or the Phison E27 controllers, would leave this drive in the weeds, often found for even less money. And if one has a motherboard that does not have SSD covers and thermal pads and a heat sink is needed, you can always add a Thermalright universal NVMe heat sink for about six bucks. I've used them and they work well. Unless you're really in love with the brand or Samsung disk magician software, I would move on and choose something different or if it has to be a Samsung wait for a deal on the 990 Pro to come up again..

If performance, in real world use are we talking real differences or just like 0.0002 seconds difference. I'm still using sata ssd and they're still quite fast at 1/4 the speed of NVMe.
Edit: Was able to get the price down to around $110 before tax!

What that means for the aforementioned is that when performing a large file task or a large copy sustained right speed will fall off the edge of a cliff after a short time. This won't make a difference for a large percentage of users, gamers included, for them a good SATA III SSD will be fine, however for people who move files and look to purchase a NVMe drive base not only on its reliability and mean time before failure or terabytes written, they also want a drive that can sustain higher write speeds. This is not one of them. That's why I believe there are better choices, and in value per dollar even other dram-less drives are faster and can be had for less money. But I would agree that it is not the only factor, a well-known company who honors their warranty is also important.
I apologize if I'm rambling, however I am recently retired, having spent a career working in the field of storage systems spanning decades starting with physical hard drives using platters and ending with what we now have today, so I probably am a bit more passionate than average on the subject, lol.
