Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • though I too wanted to get a 2 TB 990 Pro, but preferred saving/getting better CPU (I have a 1 TB NV3).

Cons

  • The NV3 often uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years.
  • Yeah also the NV3 is in the 200ish mb/s (until Kingston doesn't do magic nand/controller swaps), but either would still be a limit in certain conditions.
  • The NV7200 also uses QLC.
  • If you can get a Kingston NV2 instead of an NV3, you'll get some savings there.
