1 - Tell BB to Price Match because they take forever to update their prices. 2 - I had this nifty little thing replace my old experimental Raid 0 using 2 Intel 730 240 GB drives as my boot drive. My build was using and EVGA X99 Classified with a 5930k, but was not compatible with this m.2 as this tech (NVMe) didn't exist at the time. Using a PCIe 16x adapter card with this guy, Windows 10 immediately recognized it when installed. Used Samsung Magician to copy the Raid 0 to this guy and changed the Boot settings in BIOS and loading times are instant. 3 - Old Seq Reads were ~970, now it's 3600+ 4 - like all m.2, runs warm-hot. Like 30-55 C under heavy load, multitasking and benchmarking. As long as it doesn't go past 60, you are fine as it won't throttle until then. I do recommend a heatsink with m.2, but not 100% needed if well ventilated/cooled

==== Summary ==== The Samsung 970 Evo NVME SSD is a complete Win. It's fast, fast, and fast. I purchased this to replace a Toshiba 256GB NVME SSD that was included with my HP Omen desktop. Not only did I gain more storage, the 970 Evo also benchmarked ~2.5 times higher. In order to get the most out of the drive, the Samsung NVME driver and Samsung Magician software were also installed. With a 5-year warranty, the 970 Evo is not only a performance champ but also a good value. Love it. *Pros: -Fast performance. -Useful Samsung software - Samsung Magician, Samsung NVME driver. -5-yr warranty. *Cons: -None

Title pretty much says it all. I've been using some of Samsung's SSDs for file/game storage (a 850 EVO 500GB and a 860 EVO 1 TB) for some time. Originally purchased them to take over for Windows and some frequently accessed games, but have been worked to clear out the two remaining HDDs that have at this point been moved to long term storage units that are eating up space in my PC tower. Held off on getting a M.2 drive for some time but started to upgrade my system at the start of 2021 and figured I'd grab one since my motherboard supports up to two of them (alongside an integrated heatsink). Not disappointed in the slightest. Migrated Windows over to this drive and it has powered through everything thrown at it. Big jump from the SSDs 550 Read/Write to this M.2's 3500/2500 Read/Write speeds. A bit of a price jump from the 870 EVO SSD's, but well worth having at least one of them in your system for your OS and frequently accessed programs/games.
