How is the 990pro and SN850x compared to each other? Are there any (noticable or noteable) difference between them?

The Samsung 990 Pro is the much-anticipated successor to the popular 980 Pro. It is poised to be the very fastest drive, outdoing even the SK hynix Platinum P41 and the WD SN850x
The Samsung is much more economical and also generates much less heat than the WD.
And the Samsung 990 Pro does support TCG Opal encryption - an unsupported feature for many consumer SSDs, while the WD does not support any encryption.

The SN850X is in a weird spot. Even WD's documentation on it is flippy, adding and removing encryption as a supported feature. There's been reports, though, of it being Opal 2.01 compliant (just not on any review, so it was possibly in a firmware update but WD never discloses the changelogs).
