Samsung releases their 990 Evo Plus PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD that's 50% faster than it's predecessor

[Marzipan]

it's quite a misdirect though as they're only running with 2 PCIe 5.0 lanes...but that gives it some edge over the 990 Evo with it's 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes.

they will be available in 1TB @ $110 , 2TB @ $185 and 4TB @ $345...USD, of course.

Not related to the article, but has the Canadian RMA Landscape improved for Samsungs SSD's?
I know it was a real issue when I had mine but that is a few generations back now.

I think it’s still the same. Expected to be done through your purchase location. Otherwise role the dice on if it will get sorted through the US system or not

That is a damn shame then.
Samsung has some amazing drives but after what happened with my last PRO I have avoided them.

Sure, generally speaking these things should live their full TBR lifetime but they don't always and I'd like to know I'm covered.

Thanks for the heads up.
