Samsung 990 Pro vs WD Black SN850x

[Deleted member 258511]

I’ve had the 990 pro on order which was supposed to be in on the 10th which has now been pushed back to the 20th with no guarantee it won’t get pushed further back. The only one I can find that seems to come close is the WD SN850x. I’ve always used Samsung in the past and never had any issues. Are the WD any good? Reliable etc? Anyone had issues with them? All I’m waiting on to complete my 4090 build, so if these are just as good I can get them straight away.

I'm looking for an answer too as I want to upgrade from my 970 Evo Plus.

From what I’ve researched the 990 is worth waiting for. I’ve had Samsungs for years and haven’t had an issue. The software is good also. I’m going to hold off, and hopefully it’s not pushed back any further.

Thanks.

You can buy the 990 Pro now, it came out a few weeks ago.

Not came in yet as far as I know. I’m waiting on the 2Tb. The place I’m getting mine from told me the 22nd which was yesterday. Hopefully this week.

Thanks, I might go for the 4TB SN850x as that size isn't available for the 990 Pro till next year.

I see what Friday brings

I’ve just received confirmation that mine are in, so should have them tomorrow. The SM850x is the only other one I would choose. The 4tb would be a bonus.
