Deal expired, but was on shell shocker. I did pick this one up and i'll explain why. I have a new PC build 5600x, 3070 vision, 32gb RAM, Tomahawk X570, 750W PSU. But also have my Old PC i'm doing a rebuild of w/ new case, AIO, and M.2 Drive. Unfortunately the old PC is quite aged at this point (7 years). I5- 4690K, 16gb DDR3, 1070ti, 800W PSU on a Z97X Unless I'm mistaken on something the board is limited to PCI-e 2.0 slot or Sata express limited at 10gb/s which i believe is around 1000mb/read/write speed. Must be NVMe/PCI-e M.2 not a Sata M.2. Purchasing a better read/write on a NCMe M.2 would just contribute to further bottleneck and cost different of 5-10 dollars at this price point is fair sized cost percentage increase. After giving it some thought for approximately ~ same pricing as Sata III SSDs, is it just under twice as fast, and while still bottlenecked by PCI-e 2.0 slot, there is less over head bottleneck and cheaper but still easily reaching the potential speeds of the board. So faster than Sata III, Cheaper then M.2 w/ faster Read/Write speeds which wouldnt be obtainable by 2.0 bottleneck. Yes, there is some wasted Read/Write speeds not getting used by the PCI-e 2.0 but compared to other options still best path forward.
