This is not a "slick" deal for several reasons:

A) it's PCI 3.0, we're currently on 5.0 so this drive is far slower than modern ones;

B) the cost per GB is pretty poor;

C) Intel discontinued this about 18 months ago, there's not much (or nothing) that would distinguish it for your average home or power user;

D) there are better alternatives that are already in M.2 form;

E) ServerPartDeals has cheaper prices for less fairly often on older drives…ex. I got 8TB WD U.2 drives about a year ago for $400 each. Currently example: 8TB Intel DC P4510 for $419 each on ServerPartDeals.

I bought this before. It died after 2 months. Intel will not replace the drive but hand you a refund instead. It's a pain to get the refund. Took several weeks.

The speed in real life is not as fast as I thought. I partitioned the drive to use a secondary cache because of supposedly high endurance rating. In the end I settled for a Seagate Firecuda. I have been using it as a cache for my hard drives. It's a good compromise between speed and reliability.
