Sabrent via Newegg (Sold and Shipped by Sabrent) has select Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drives on sale below when you apply the corresponding promo codes listed below. Shipping is free. Thanks iconian
For anyone asking about speed, trust me its irrelevant unless you are working on Avatar 2 or at NASA.
nvme SSD's are so fast you wont see the difference in anything, even high performance games on highest settings.
I would be more concerned about the warranty and brand. The Sabrent Rocket is great.
If you are working at NASA or compiling terabytes of work then The Samsung 970-PRO is what you want. Otherwise just look for a great brand at the $100 (on sale) for 1TB range and you should be good to go.
ADATA, Sabrent, Adlink. ect.

as NewMaxx will probably chime in these are getting silently refreshed with what some may consider an inferior drive, if a solid 1tb NVMe drive @ $100 is what you are looking for then this is a great deal. If you are looking for as close to Samsung 970 as you can get then maybe the Gammix S11 PRO/SX8200 PRO are something to look at for slightly more money
How much faster is this than a 660p? Considering returning the one I got for $83 for something faster, but I have no idea what a faster ssd would even do for me.

It probably wouldn't be much different in everyday use. Sequential read\write is around 1000MB\sec faster on this compared to 660p.
I was using 660p, with the 2tb of this my computer booted up maybe a half second faster. I returned it, not worth the extra money for normal users.
edit: I know it's tempting to want to upgrade.. new things are fun.. but in this case I would save your money unless you are regularly transferring multiple gigabytes of files and want the additional speed.

The issue with the 660p is the QLC memory. From what I understand the, QLC has a shorter life and becomes slower, the fuller the drive is. If you plan to keep the drive pretty full, steer clear of the 660p.
Question: I bought this one and installed it on my Lenovo Y540 15 inch. When I ran CrystalDiskMark, I'm only getting 2GB/s read. Write speed is ok around 3GB/s. Is this normal? TIA!
Update: I noticed that if I use previous version. of CDM, which is 6, I can get the advertised speed. but if I use latest v7 of CDM, I'm getting slower speed. I think it's because different test profile. Appreciate it if anyone who knows more on this could confirm. Thanks!
