Extended holiday return period of up to Jan 16 means there really isn't any risk with buying now. You can price match during the return period if something better comes up.

Good price. Have this exact one and can confirm it runs quite hot - if you plan to put it into laptop, might look for something else.

For the encryption, does it require any software to encrypt?

Fair point. It would still be somewhat a hassle pulling the drive out and plug in new one then install everything if that's your boot drive. If you are not in a rush to build (say waiting for the next GPU drop), be patient and see if there's better deals around

Wasn't sure, so I looked it up. According to Amazon answers and a Crucial rep, the p series m.2 do not have DRAM.

you wouldn't pull the drive out, it works by if you purchase some things on newegg covered by this, they'll automatically refund the price difference if it drops down during black friday time area. So you don't return and get a new one, you just get the price difference refunded.

How can we tell if we ended up with the cheaper QLC NAND?

I bought this exact drive back in end of June 2021. It didn't feel much of an upgrade over my SATA SSD so it makes me wonder.

It isn't. It's PCIe gen 3 rather than gen 4.

They never are, all these speeds are in ideal sequential setting so in reality pcie SSDs are make barely noticeable improvements over sata SSDs (except for certain specific workloads). E.g. you might see it if you copy massive files from one place to another but bare in mind that in most cases that "other" place will be a bottleneck so again you don't see it. Also loading of massive games or programs should be faster. In my experience upgrading from HDD to SSD was the most impactful upgrade I have ever done on a computer. Sata to pcie I never actually noticed a difference...

what you actually care about is random iops (how long it takes it to find something at a random place) this SSDs have miles better than HDDs and you can see very little difference between sata and pcie SSDs. The only thing which was actually making a difference but I never got around to try it is optane.
