Intel SSDPEKNW512G8X1 660P 512GB QLC NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 Solid State Drive

5 years later and it's still running! Writes a tad slower once you go past the 75% used space marker but I'm very impressed that it still works! It's responsiveness is actually slower than my Samsung 850 Pro SATA drives but the throughput on certain read speeds are almost 1.3GB/s. Quite amazing! I mean it's old - rather buy a Samsung Pro NVMe if you can but was a great choice for me considering my specific budget at the time.

I wanted something reliable that would last long with a stable speed without breaking the bank. I would definitely recommend this NVMe. It's funny, the higher I OC my CPU (i5-9600K) the faster this NVMe performs.
