I saw that the Intel 600p just came out and it's a m.2 PCIe SSD priced nearly the same as the Samsung 850 EVO (512GB for both). Which should I get? Since the 600p just came out, idk if it's good or not, no reviews.

based on the specs i saw on the WAN show the 600p should be a fair bit faster than the 850 EVO in that size. but I haven't really done a ton of research on the 600p

The 600p is NVMe based AFAIK so definitely faster than your SATA 3 M.2's but seriously underwhelming for an NVMe/PCIex4 drive...

if you compare it to something like a 950 pro, then sure.... but its also twice as expensive. if you compare it to something the same price (apparently like a 850 evo) then it seems like a pretty kickass deal.

True, the 600P is an entry level NVMe product... and at least will not be as HOT as a 950 Pro ;)

600p is better than samsung evo 850. Even samsung 850 pro.

Read speeds are pretty decent on those 600p (up to 1800MB/s). Write speeds are more like on samsung evo 850 so around 500MB/s. Still decent if you ask me.

Now we can all agree that this M.2 SSD can't compare to samsung 950,951,960,961 etc. But those are like 2x expencier.

 

600p version of M.2 is meant for entry level, so more customers can get into M.2 technology. But it's sure as hell better than any sata ssd.

 

So if you want to have that fancy M.2 ssd and can't spend fortune on it, 600p is a way to go. 1770MB/s read speed for 512GB version seems pretty decent to me. Compared to SATA SSDs that can handle mostly up to 540MB/s.
