So why no love here ?
It's not the fastest, but it's a a 2TB nvme from a reputable company with a good warranty (5 yrs/1200TBW for this drive) and decently fast read/write speeds (3400/3000MB/s for this drive) for sub $200 during a computer parts shortage. I personally pulled the trigger on this right away as it hits the price I wanted to spend and covers all my base needs and then some.
I'm definitely all ears for any downsides people have to share, though, 'cause I'm not an SSD expert. But if you do, please keep in mind the price of this drive since many of us have a max budget of around $200-ish for a 2TB nvme.
Otherwise, it appears like a very good value for the capacity, speed, and endurance ("max endurance rating of 1200 TBW" on the product page). Plus it looks cool, for whatever that's worth.

Well problem solved I guess, 2tb went out of stock while I was going over reviews so I got the 980 pro.
