ASROCK Fatal1ty X370 gaming X (NVME)

ive not heard of issues with the samsung evo range

i use a 960 myself

dont forget the evo 970 PLUS is for sale which is a considerable improvement over the 970 normal

Edit: Those "??" was sign of an EURO ! Not sure why it is not seeing it.

from what i see

samsung had to 'up' the performance of the normal evo when WD launched the nvme black edition

hence the evo plus

its similar to the older 970 pro now
with 'i think' much better sustained writes etc

one thing to also consider
with all nvme drives

the QUOTED speeds are usually for the larger drives
the smaller drives in range can be far far slower
due to less actual chips inside

eg 128 gb may have one chip and the 1gb may have 4 chips

the reads and writes are faster with more chips obviosly

This is all I got from the Asrock support page about this motherboard. Might be helpful since I don't understand any of it :S
