    Very tempting to upgrade… this or Intel 660p?

    this or 970 evo?

    • knackers on 15/07/2019 - 21:53

      970 evo as your primary drive.. this Crucial will work nicely as a secondary/storage drive

      • rave75 on 15/07/2019 - 21:53

        only have one slot on my ultrabook…

              @t0087669: It'll depend what you do with it. For example, the difference between a SSD and a fast NVME in loading times for games is about 1 to 2 seconds difference.

  • polarq on 15/07/2019 - 21:47

    yeahh mateyy, scored one. :D

  • mutantx on 15/07/2019 - 21:50

    At this price i simply couldn't resist but i'm running a LGA 1155 motherboard that doesn't natively support NVMe at all .. fun times ahead (and lots of cursing)

  • vid_ghost on 15/07/2019 - 21:52

    I have a 3700X system but i dont know if its worth getting one of these for it. Feels like my Crucial MX500 500GB is fast enough

    • Danthemanz on 15/07/2019 - 23:09

      It's about as slow as an NVME drive gets, so you aren't missing out on much.
      Still a good price though if you need some storage that's faster than a hdd…

    • netsurfer on 15/07/2019 - 23:14

      Treat this as a normal SATA3 drive. Do you need a 1TB SSD? If yes, is this price good enough?

  • cptzz on 15/07/2019 - 21:54

    Will this support 2x Lane PCI-E slot which unfortunately my laptop has?
    Not after any fast speed but for the capacity here.

    • lukethefish on 15/07/2019 - 22:19

      Yeah I think they do. Just slower.

    • netsurfer on 15/07/2019 - 23:19

      Yes, it's fine. I have a 1TB m.2 NVMe SSD, but primary PCIe x4 slot is already connected to a faster NVMe SSD so put it on the secondary m.2 slot (which only supports PCIe x2) - works fine. In fact, earlier on, the 6th gen intel NUC didn't enable PCIe x4 properly (only support x2 initially).

      You won't notice a big difference with this SSD, even at x2, you can still benefit the NVMe part.

  • LiMaaa on 15/07/2019 - 21:56

    I feel so bad for all the ozbargainers who purchased this yesterday for $148 :D

  • Moses11 on 15/07/2019 - 21:58
    +1

    This is a great buy for the price
    - 1Tb - either primary drive or secondary storage
    - M.2 which is faster than most SSD's ( if not all)
    - great value for those who can't afford 970 evo plus which is double the price
    - the money you save here could be reinvested into another component of your pc build eg: CPU,RAM, GPU to increase speed/ efficiency.

    • 4agte on 15/07/2019 - 22:16
      +9

      M.2 which is faster than most SSD's ( if not all)

      M.2 is a form factor not a transfer protocol. However being nvme it is faster than its sata counterparts

  • trevor99 on 15/07/2019 - 22:00

    Will need good airflow in your case and note it ships from us. I bought something recently from amazon us, took 2 weeks. Also for many motherboards NVM takes out one or 2 of your satas.

  • neosin on 15/07/2019 - 22:06

    ssd prices will crash when more pcie4 drives that do 5000MB/s come out

  • Lesco Brandon on 15/07/2019 - 22:06

    Wonder if this can be used as a boot drive on MY MSI B350 PC MATE

      That's what I'll be using mine for.

      • zhuntai on 15/07/2019 - 22:45

    Thanks OP - can FINALLY ditch my HDD and make use for my M.2 slot.

  • TeddyBear on 15/07/2019 - 22:11

    Obligatory reminder that this drive uses QLC instead of TLC nand, meaning that when the drive is filled over a certain capacity (this is the same with TLC but the threshold is lower) and runs out of SLC cache; this will be slower in real world usage compared to even SATA TLC SSDs. I'd recommend using a drive with at least a DRAM cache for OS usage if intending on filling it over 60% capacity.

    • FabMan on 15/07/2019 - 22:13

      Slower for writes mind, reads will be the same fast speeds.

      • TeddyBear on 15/07/2019 - 22:20
        +1

        I'm certain this applies to both read and write speeds as both tend to take a hit in benchmarks where the SLC cache or otherwise is filled, unless you have a source that says otherwise? I'm genuinely interested, as this been my thinking in all my SSD purchases.

        • trevor99 on 15/07/2019 - 22:39

          Correct. QLC is lower cost with more bits per cell but congestion slows sustained performance up to 500%

        • FabMan on 15/07/2019 - 22:59
          +2

          From the looks, it'll be just as fast for burst access, but sustained reads while full can be slow if the data is fragmented. Meaning that, if it was written to the SSD in a contiguous manner, it'll be super fast when reading it.

          https://www.anandtech.com/show/13512/the-crucial-p1-1tb-ssd-…

          Read speeds when full range from 1,170 (super fast) to 194MB/s (barely faster than a decent HDD).

    • LukeB on 16/07/2019 - 00:56

      So for 1TB, how much do we have to fill up to hit that super slow zone? Are you sure it's 60%.

      • TeddyBear on 16/07/2019 - 01:07

        60% is nice round number. A QLC SSD has 4 bits per cell, so divide capacity by 4. This means this SSD has 256GB of SLC cache (not accounting for overprovisioning), storing anything over that will force the required cache into 4 bit QLC mode and slow the drive down. If it were TLC or MLC it would have ~340GB or 512GB of nand in SLC mode respectively. By how much will it slow down and at what capacity? Depends on how the controller provisions the remaining NAND and can vary greatly depending on use case.

  • FabMan on 15/07/2019 - 22:12

    Thanks, ordered this for my desktop main drive.

  • jackwangxp on 15/07/2019 - 22:19

    Is it significantly faster to boot os from say 970 pro vs this ??

    • HashBrown on 15/07/2019 - 22:57
      +1

      Simple answer, no, it won't, in fact, for most people out there, they won't even notice the difference between this QLC drive and a 970 Pro. That's the reason why these drive exist.

  • Wally Simmonds on 15/07/2019 - 22:33

    This should be OK on this motherboard, yeah? https://www.pccasegear.com/products/27642/gigabyte-z97x-gami…

  • lomie on 15/07/2019 - 23:24

    This OK as main drive for XPS 13? Mainly photo editing in Lightroom and little bit of video.

    • BenR31415 on 15/07/2019 - 23:35

      Sustained performance isn't great on this drive because of the QLC flash, but burst performance due to the SLC cache is pretty good. I'd expect photo editing to be pretty fast, but video editing with large files the speed might drop.

      For memory the recent XPS series uses the PM961/891 drives which are faster than this, but you probably wouldn't notice all that much of a difference.

      • lomie on 15/07/2019 - 23:55

        The original drive is this (from my googling)
        Toshiba 256GB M.2 2280 SSD (Solid State Drive) NVMe PCIe Model: THNSN5256GPUK - OEM

        The Crucial SSD is faster than the Toshiba in the userbenchmark site. So it looks to be an improvement.

    Now I need a good deal for an enclosure, prefer thunderbolt 3, but if its gonna cost a lot then I am happy with usb as well.

    Any recommendations?

        Theres a few usb 3.1 enclosures for around $50 and support up to 10 Gbps but I'd prefer thunderbolt for sure .

    This is in USD, comes up as $158 AUD for me. Not much different from local stock.

    • poporange630 on 15/07/2019 - 23:48

        It was showing $158 for me at checkout when the deal was still happening. Not sure why it was different for me.

    • zztrader on 16/07/2019 - 04:09

      So what currency at the Amazon checkout was this price in, USD or AUD?

      If its $129.AUD then that is superb. I bought one yesterday at $148.AUD free ship.
      Not going to get down about it though as mine will arrive in 2 days :)

      These are perfect game PCIe drives & load game data easily double+ of Sata3 SSD speed!
      Also with 5 year warranty it sure is a no brainer.

      My 500GB 970 Evo NVMe drive also rips for a boot drive.
      Now just trying to track down a bargain 2TB SSD Sata3 drive for a decent price if available.

      Good buying there folks!

      • blehgg on 16/07/2019 - 08:38

        $129 AUD and change

        jumped on it right as this post came up…
