I really wish there was a little more effort put into this "article", the 970 PRO and EVO spec tables aren't very useful. They would be a lot more helpful if they included the 960 versions for direct comparison or even if they were side by side so the EVO and PRO could be directly compared.

I just changed my work video editing workstation order. I will have two 970 EVO NVMe for my OS and Project drives. There actually is a bottle next with raw 4K, 5K and 8K Video and playing it in an editor.

I'm curious about the specs required to edit raw 4K video. What's your workstation order like?

White plastic on a controller microchip? Few month ago I saw an orange chips on Mediatek devkit. A new trend it seems?

Well it is a 3D rendering, and that color might suggest the device has a metal heat spreader not a colored plastic molding.

The Anandtech review says it's nickel plated. The sticker is also a copper heat spreader:

"The Samsung Phoenix controller introduces a nickel-coated heatspreader, and the 970 EVO retains the copper foil layer in the label on the back of the drive that was introduced with the 960 generation, but there are no more serious cooling measures on the drive."
