For $115, rather go with WD blue or Crucial MX500. (high end SSD)
This would be a deal if sold for $90.

Er... that's still a SATA interface. It says so right in the title. Don't confuse M.2 form factor vs NVMe interface.
Were you unaware they made SATA drives in M.2 format? Nice catch chief.

Gotta forgive him. People don't take 1 second to google before they reply
Wouldn't use it for OS drive. For the price, one can easily get a 'high-end' tier drive.
Please see link below,
https://linustechtips.com/main/to...tier-list/ [linustechtips.com]
Tier D (Budget)
Adata - SX6000 Pro* (Realtek RTS5763DL), Gammix S5* (Realtek RTS5763DL), SX6000 Lite* (Realtek RTS5763DL)
Tier B (High-end)
Adata - SX8200 Pro (SMI SM2262EN), Gammix S11 Pro (SMI SM2262EN)
Addlink - S70 (Phison E12)
........
Also MVNE(PCIE) vs SATA, theoretically huge, real difference is minimal.
User-Visible Performance Gains
Spoiler alert: they're pretty small. I benchmarked system restart time, cold boot time, and both a storage benchmark and a synthetic workload with PCMark. In every case, the speedup was between 3 and 5 percent.

Take for example this whole tier thing on LTT - he places the CS3030 on the same tier as the SN750, despite the PNY drive having >2.5x write cycle durability at not insignificant expense of write speed (at 500gb, speed levels out a bit at higher capacities). Unless you're using it for libraries that don't get written to (this is a real thing), this is going to matter. Likewise, different capacities of both the CS3030 and the SN750 have significantly different speeds and lifetimes.
You should try and do more research beyond a "but Linus said" level before telling people what's what when it comes to expensive buying choices.
