Performance is looking good, although the drive is really heating up.
I wish they would release a 4TB EVO drive to complement this set though, so that I can move almost all my storage to NVMe drives.
I wonder how the heat was measured here. No heatsink as it says, but was that in a case? On a bench? With airflow? Or not? In the typical slot under a big GPU?

To be fair most modern gaming mobos have a nvme heatsink, personally i'm looking for something as a secondary drive and for me that's located on backside of mobo with no heatsink.(my primary has a huge heatsink that would work but it would mean a reinstall so screw that).
I've seen many nice ones with good heatsink pre-installed, like corsair MP600.

TLC being used is quite a shame. Ruins the reason of this 'pro' model. This should be the Evo. Makes me worry the evo model will have qlc in it.
But boy does this run hot, though I might put this in the ps5 but bit worries with it running that hot

My 2 cents:
Performance without reliability and endurance is useless for serious professional use.
They should have labeled this one '980 turbo' or '980 performance' rather than '980 pro'.
On a side note:
It would be nice if there were units on *all* charts and how to interpret the scores (e.g. power consumption in watt - lower is better).
