Just a heads up, if you're looking to make your own portable ssd, this isn't a good drive to stick in an external enclosure by itself. It relies on using the system ram and has no DRAM of its own.

This is the m.2 980 pro, not the old SATA version. It uses LPDDR4 for it's DRAM.
edit: oops my mistake, thought this was the pro version, sorry! no dram!

Nope. This is the 980, not the 980 Pro. You're thinking of the 970 Pro. The 980 and 980 Pro only come in m.2. This drive was released after the 980 Pro as a budget option. It's PCIe gen 3, instead of 4, and has no DRAM. The 970 Pro is a better drive, with MLC (instead of TLC), double the TBW, and much faster sustained write speeds. This is still a good deal, though.
