Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Even this is EPP/EDU pricing, still not a good deal. I know this is a reputable brand but the price should be under $130 for 2 tb. Crucial T500 was $125 2 months ago
a little strange to put PCIe in the title. technically true as NVMe uses the PCIe bus but seeing it made me wonder if this was some strange PCIe x4 or x16 expansion card.

Title should say NVMe
pretty sure the M.2 covered it, it's how Samsung lists it (990 PRO w/ Heatsink 2 TB SSD NVMe™ M.2)

It makes more sense when you consider that it's referring to "PCIe Gen4." While you could add "NVMe" to the title, swapping it to "NVMe Gen4" would be less correct.
Fun fact, there are (well, were) PCIe AHCI M.2 SSDs, which are neither SATA nor NVMe. They were very uncommon and few people probably know they exist.
They had the Pro 9100 which is significantly faster for $180 during prime day.
The 990 Pro's speed of around 7GB/s is more than enough for most use cases, even in the years to come. I think the main reason to choose a Samsung SSD like this is its reliability compared to cheaper, more questionable brands.

Hmm, my employee discount didn't kick in cuz of some "workplace discount exceeded" message. Must have bought something in the past that passed the threshold for employee discounts. Oh well.

That's a PCIe 5.0 drive. For the vast majority of consumers PCIe 5.0 won't deliver noticible improvement, 4.0 like this card is more than fast enough. 5.0 really not a good value for most people, even people (like me) who care a lot about performance.
A lot of people got scammed by the used 990 pros (me included). On my drive, someone swapped it out with a 980 and put the 990 sticker.
I bought 4 of them from amazon during the sale. 4/4 sticks were good after checking with samsung magician and confirmed to be authentic. Kept 3/4 as the 4th somehow had almost 80TB written on it (which is nothing compared to its rated 2400TB writes). No hassle return with amazon as usual.

The used 4TB 990pro was just $180, and used 4TB sn850x was just $205.
There's also the sn850x. Mine showed up perfect.
