If you're thinking about getting an NVME drive because you want blazing fast transfer speeds, avoid this drive at all costs.
If you want 2TB of reliable SSD storage and have an NVME slot free, this is a great drive. Don't focus on transfer rates or IOPS because this drive gets dusted by every other one on the market.

This will not work in a sata m.2 slot as found on older laptops
I have a second m.2 slot on my gigabyte MB and I think it's sata only...is it even worth using it or am I better off using a sata 2.5in drive? I never see deals on sata m.2 2tb drives.
Is this drive really that slow? I have a late 2013 retina macbook pro that I want to put this in.
I think the market has the pricing of these NVMe SSDs accordingly for speed. Certainly, there are faster NVMe SSDs, but you pay for that Samsung Pro line.
For "2TB" of SSD, this is a great price. Most modern SSDs will out-perform any mechanical hard drive at any rotational speed. Just take into consideration what the others have commented on, like post. I find that SSDs do not make your computer operate at (/fingersnap) speeds; however. Still, much faster than regular 'ol hard drives.

It's been ages since we reviewed a new client 2.5" HDD, but last time we did, the 2TB drive posted 4K random read IOPS of a little under 100, where we're looking at 60,000 with the 660p.

Compared to a mechanical hard drive, this is faster. Compared to a SATA SSD, this is about the same. Compared to any Samsung NVME drive made within the last 2-3 years, this is a huge step backward in speed. But if you need 2TB of space in NVME format for the lowest price and don't need breakneck speed, this is fine.
