I just bought the SAMSUNG 9100 PRO 4TB Gen 5 for $320 last week (deal can't be replicated anymore). The Samsung doesn't get as hot as other Gen 5 drives according to reviews. But regardless you need a good heatsink installation on these Gen 5 drives since they get hotter than Gen 4 drives. These are MUCH faster than Gen 4 but you're going to need a compatible motherboard to get the speed benefits. You're in essence future proofing yourself getting a Gen 5 for a good 4+ years.
They will cost more than Gen 4 by a good margin. But if you want faster computer boot times, faster game boot times, applications, etc. $100 is nothing since this will be one of the most important upgrades you will get for a computer build. You're saving yourself time in every computing aspect.
I picked up that 4TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus for $200 on the B&H deal a couple weeks ago. I probably would have went with this instead had it been available since my board supports Gen5, but there is a trade off between capacity as well as the extra heat these Gen5 drives put out. Supposedly the speed increase is not really noticable in real life use even though the raw throughput numbers are nearly double.
