The Crucial 500gb NVME is an especially good deal. It's not exactly a rockstar in terms of speed, but if you're building a htpc or budget gaming rig and just need to slot a cheap NVME it has good reliability. All time low on amazon, per CCC, is $48, so @$46 is definitely slick!
Still waiting to replace my 1TB NVMe SSD I bought three years ago for $69. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron stop colluding to milk the consumer at 1-2TB kkthx. We are ready to be cheated internet.
FYI people say it needs a heatsink because it runs hot. Maybe just buy a little cheapo stick-on one?
You don't need a heatsink. It does run warmer than most appox 55-65 during idle. If you're going to continuously write to this drive then go with a 970 pro. This is a good consumer drive (non prosumer).

A heatsink needs to have thermally conductive material adhering it and you want sufficient mounting pressure to promote the conduction. Just sticking a heat sink on doesn't work all that well, and if done incorrectly it will actually act as an insulator
Curious where you heard this. My understanding is that unless you're chia mining, nvme heatsinks are more of a gimmick than anything else
I'm using a cheap stick on heatsink just because it's silver and makes it look good on the board with the rgb lights. It does lower the temp by 10 degrees
I used to be a Micron/Crucial fan, but their current level of support is unacceptable. I have a Micron SSD and their own maintenance software reports there is an issue with the firmware. The response from their support is to just use it because it's working at the moment.

I've used numerous SATA and NVME SSD's from Crucial, Samsung, Intel, ADATA, Western Digital, Mushkin, Sabrent, and MyDigitalSSD. I've been lucky enough to say I haven't had one fail yet, with the exception of one manufacturer.
That exception is Mushkin.
Not one, not two, not three, but all four SSD's I've had from them failed within a few months of use.
I wouldn't put a Mushkin SSD in my system if they gave them away for free.

Is that how you increase your post count?
You need to post the same message in every single ducking SSD/NVMe post?
GAL!
