Review [tomshardware.com]

TL;DR:

Quote :

We needed the Samsung 990 EVO to punch above its weight and, for the most part, it does. This drive uses 133-Layer flash and is restricted to about 5 GB/s, though, so you can't expect miracles. Performance for a DRAM-less drive is actually quite good, including sustained performance. Certainly we would like to see more out of an EVO drive, and it's clear this controller could do more with faster flash. As a successor to the stellar 970 EVO Plus it is a bit of a letdown, but it at least feels somewhat better than the Samsung 980 did.

...

All in all, this is a more competent entry by Samsung than it first appears, but there's no shaking the feeling that it has a bit of an identity crisis. Its presence makes sense given the current market and it does fit within Samsung's product stack, but it's bound to disappoint some observers. It performs well for what it is, albeit with some question marks — such as with power efficiency — that keep it from being an easy recommendation. More than anything, though, the price has to come down to earth and align with reality.

a quick search here shows they've never been that cheap, unless of course there was some use this code, with this deal, type of stuff, or the post was deleted. I did see an EPP/EDU discount direct from Samsung for $90 July 2023. But other than refurbished drives, nothing at $80.

Entirely possible I missed it, but I don't recall ever seeing a 2 TB SSD for $80. Can't wait for it to happen, though!

Yeah, I bought 1 670p at $70 and 2 2TB 990 Pro at $100 last year. That's going to last me a few years lol

Would this be good for me? I just want something reliable to stick in my next laptop's pcie gen 4 m.2 slot, and I'm planning to use it to dual boot windows 11 and Linux mint debian edition.
