I'd agree with the review at regular price, but not at this price point.
The next closest thing is the PNY deal that is more expensive with an even slower drive. From there you have Teamgroup or Patriot deals at $2-$3 cheaper, but even slower speeds.
I've also seen a lot of mixed reviews after the nice initial review from TPU (good components...). I found a deal on a WD Blue SN570 2TB and went with that instead. It's been perfect for OS, gaming, etc and benchmarks quite well.
At this point, I'd mostly be comparing the Kingston NV2 to the low tier gen3 NVMe SSDs if looking for a budget secondary SSD.
This deal is good. Wish it was this price during BF because of the 40% OFF coupons then. Would have made this drive $32.
I bought a PNY PCIe 3 with coupon, but a bit regretting since PNY has a bad reliability reputation. Plus PCIe 3 vs 4. Patriots are not sold by Amazon.com so coupons don't apply.
Was able to pick up 3 of these from BestBuy via price match to Kingston. Gonna use those 3 (and an extra gen 4 I have) to setup a 4TB NVMe RAID using a Hyper Card that came with a new Motherboard I picked up.

since it's been within 7 days of delivery, it qualified for price adjustment after I chatted with customer service rep.
