If you're primarily playing games, maybe you get 1 second faster load times, maybe, ditto for booting into Windows. Now perhaps you do productivity work where you're loading 100 gigs of Adobe files or something, then sure you'll see a tad more improvement, but you won't see 2x the speed, that on paper, the 980pro has over the 970 evo plus unless you're doing benchmarking.
So ultimately if that's worth $20 to you, then great, but you could make a similar argument that the $70 Intel drive is a "better buy" at $25 less than this for similar reasons.

I think it's a 1 time only deal though, but I was able to knock it down to $85. Also it will work for other items via Amazon, but it needs to be sold by Amazon, i.e. the $70 2TB intel drive I think is sold by Microcenter, so no bueno
Oh, and obligatory sad story. Bought the 1TB version of this for $100 just under a year ago.

With that said, I'm happy with it. I bought a USB enclosure and replaced a 250Gb SSD using the free Samsung Data Migration software to copy the entire old drive over to the new one in about 25 minutes with zero issues.
