I am looking to buy a samsung ssd just because I have a voucher discount only for samsung products. 

Which one should I get considering there is a €24 difference between them.

Asking about 1TB versions

 

I also have a 970 evo plus 1TB for about 1 year and it's been just great.

 

My specs: 12600kf, 32gb 3200mhz, z690 aorus elite, rtx 3070

 

What would you get?

tbh I would stick with the 970 evo plus (unless you really need the speed)

But out of them I would get the 980 pro since it hasn't had as much problems as the 990 pro (which have mostly been fixed tho)

Message me on discord (bread8669) for more help

Are you guys for real? Is the 990 so bad? I know about those firmware problems but as far as I know they have been corrected months ago.

 

Any other opinions?

Firmware was released a while ago with fixes. People fear monger.

 

990 Pro has a decent uplift in IOPS and efficiency.
