Purchased for 129.00 ($20.00 off) + tax and free fedex home delivery via MSI store. Better price than Amazon for new NVME drive. Awaiting MSI order processing, but no immediate issue with credit card payment. Specs for 2TB M480 Pro look a bit better than Dramless M482 ($20.00 less expensive), SS 990Pro, Solidigm P44 Pro, or WD SN850X (all are well rated but a bit more expensive). Will likely go to 2023 ASUS OLED 14" laptop or 2023 ASUS C16GH DT (i7-13700F / 4070 / 16GB DDR4). Used harddrivebenchmark.net and speednetz.com to compare read and write speeds. FYI: It would seem that the same M.2 NVME drives can come up under different links and 10% differences in speeds are common. Likely due to sample variation from different user rigs. So, benchmark numbers might be a bit "soft".

I tried with several cards and it keeps saying payment is declined, not sure what's going on?

I got this deal last week, and threw a thermalright hr-09 pro heatsink on it for good measure
