Anyway team products are decent if cheap enough. Biggest downside I've run into over the years is being required to pay for shipping to taiwan in order for them to process a rma replacement. I'd recommend testing right away - if there's a defect you'll want to catch it within the amazon return period.

This is a great deal. I got the same drive and ram except for a 1tb gen 4 drive. Both are in my system and working great.
So don't listen to the whining and complaining about it. It's a great deal on good product.

Times on the RAM are CL 16-20-20-40, which is acceptable. I'd think of it as $80GB for the RAM and $160 for the SSD which is a good deal.
Those I'd worry about them dying before I was done using them. 3600 is fine. So is the drive.

1. Dispose of the old RAM and use the faster new RAM. 32GB is more than plenty for most users.
2. Run the the kits together at the default speed of the slower RAM. Normally modern boards will default to a lowest common denominator of JEDEC.
3. Overclock old kit to match the new RAM as much as possible. 3200 Mhz RAM is really just 2666 or 2400 over clocked. I'm not sure how much your pre-built will let you tinker.
Considering except for the OCZ drives that were crap a few years back, I still have every single SSD that I ever bought. The old SLC drives in the 256GB-512GB drives in an external case are excellent for backups.

1. I would think this memory would be compatible to replace what I have now?
2. Would I really notice that much of a difference doubling the RAM and a higher clock speed, I'm really in the market for a bigger SSD than anything, but this seems like a good deal to add both.

I have MSI M470 which is using Phison E16 + Toshiba Bics4 and tested in my old PCIe Gen 2x2. The temperature is about 30C(idle) and 42C(when running tests). This is great for NVME enclosure usage.
Vendors like Gigabyte/MSI seems to be warranted based on the TBW, the warranty is either 5 years or 3600 TBW(from Smart Info) whichever reaches first.
Currently(see several reports) WD SN850 is THE winner for speed and the doesn't degrade much under super large file operations. But they are very hot and heatsink is required. And Phison E16 + Toshiba Bics4 is the clear winner endurance for 3600 TBW(2TB model) vs 1200/1400 TBW(most other 2TB).
My MacStudio 512GB model seems to use the same Toshiba Bics4 NAND. I think Apple actually appreciate this endurance.
Also, MSI/Gigabyte NVME warranty is 5 years or TBW whichever reaches first. Not sure if Hynix/WD/Samsung has similar terms. So larger TBW is actually a favorable term for the long warranty.
And in addition, as of today you don't actually pay more to get the long endurance, WHY NOT? Given to those most popular PCIE G4 NVME(Phison E16 + Toshiba TLC Bics4 NAND) priced at $95(Inland performance 1TB 1800TBW 6 years?, $189 for 2TB, 3600TBW), MSI M470(1TB at $104, 1600TBW, 5 years, 2TB at $220) today vs vendors like Hynix old P31 Gen 3 is tagged as $198 2TB at 1200TBW, $109 1TB. Also WD SN770 doesn't have DRAM cache and haver poor performance. I will have NO hesitation to buy those longer endurance NVME just as what Apple equip my MacStudio(it uses the same Toshiba TLC NAND).
In addition, the temperature control is great, my MacStudio NAND is only 19C at idle and my MSI M470 is 30C at idle in the chassis and top at 40C without heatsink. This will make it a good choice for NVME external enclosure.
