Samsung 980 Pro 2TB Nvme drive 4 x 4.0 $179.99 @ Microcenter

So the potential slow down is when you are installing something larger than 2gb like a game for example? And only during installs? Also reading through the links you posted It's not clear when the drives could see this performance hit? Only over 2gb files like you say?
Slow down happens when the cache fills, it can be any size of files that can fill it. Some people seem to not always have the issue, while others can re-produce it every time.

Interesting maybe the latest firmware has resolved the issue. I will keep an eye on my drive and bench it every now and again and post my results here on Hardforum.
 
Pulled the trigger on the P41 myself!
Heard good things about hynix. Bench it and post them bench it half full and post again if u can. Want to see how drives stack up vs each other. I still wouldn't mind a 4tb version for my main rig but best buy didn't have any and I had a 60 gift card for best buy.
