I was seriously considering the Samsung 980 Pro because of the great reviews by Tom’s Hardware. However, for Linux users, the following review at Phoronix showed pretty poor numbers using the Ext4 files system.
The WD Black SN850 posted much better numbers. So I ended up ordering it. However, I am concerned about it’s high power usage, even when idling. I’m hoping I can tune it so it doesn’t get too hot and/or drain my battery.
