I'm curious about the Samsung 990 PRO NVMe drives. I've heard they had some serious issues in the past, but I'm wondering if those problems have been fixed. Is it safe to buy them now, or are there still concerns?

The firmware issues were patched quite a while ago, so you shouldn't worry too much about that. The only downside is that they tend to be overpriced compared to other drives offering similar performance.
I've had my 990 PRO for over two years, and it's been solid with no issues at all.
I got my 990 PRO over two years ago, and the firmware was already updated. If you're still concerned, just make sure to check for any firmware updates before you use it.
Honestly, if the prices are the same, I'd recommend the 990 PRO over the SN850X. But if the SN850X is significantly cheaper, it might be worth going for that one, especially since the SN850X tends to be double-sided for larger capacities. Just consider your storage needs!
