    For people considering getting this remember that this is a SATA drive and not a nvme drive. With this you'd get the same speeds as a regular 2.5" sata ssd so it's a waste of a m.2 slot.

    • Thanks. I'll put SATA in the title. I wouldn't call it a waste of an m.2 slot necessarily. Personally I use this in a NUC which only has m.2 storage slots and don't require the benefits of NVMe over SATA in the usage of storage so can save a few good $ here.

    • On top of that you can get kingston a2000 1tb atm for about 160ish

        From Umart if anyone interested :)

        Also WD Black SN750 500GB on Amazon is selling for $109 backordering if it can wait.

    • Wouldn't it be lower weight than many 2.5"? good for laptops? Some people pay alot of money for weight reduction and often sacrifice other things.

      • From Samsung Website:
        860 Evo m.2 - 0.18Lbs
        860 Evo Sata III - 0.19Lbs

        Pretty negligible weight difference, what you're really saving on is size, at the cost of $$.
        If you can fit a 860 Evo Sata III, they can be had cheaper.

      Not all m.2. slots are nvme compatible

    I'd just take the 2.5" drive for $20 less. Some will say M.2 is cleaner, but that green PCB is uuuugly in comparison to the 2.5" one. Also saves your M.2 slot.

    • but if you're not going to use your m.2 slot for anything else, why "save" it?

        The fyoocher.

      • well only if you've already filled the rest of your SATA connections.

    This is also handy for upgrading an older laptop such as mine which does not support NVME but does have an unpopulated M.2 slot.

  • M.2 SATA are a bit cooler compared to NVMe/PCIe variants especially if your laptop have all three M.2 Slots in a stacked configuration and not much clearance for a heat sink.

  • Pulled the trigger, they have dropped the price another $10 :)

    • Updating the post - great deal and is the last day for cashback.
