Storage: Intel 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($62.99 @ B&H)

More expensive and slower than many of the TLC drives available on Newegg.

https://www.newegg.com/hp-ex900-500gb/p/N82E16820326251?Item=N82E16820326251 HP EX900 $56

https://www.newegg.com/patriot-scorch-512gb/p/N82E16820225110?Item=N82E16820225110 Patriot SCORCH $58

https://www.newegg.com/silicon-power-p34a80-512gb/p/N82E16820301394?Item=N82E16820301394 Silicon Power's generic 512GB NVMe $63 (the fastest one for the same price or less)

 

The 660p is early-adopter grade stuff, it's not worth it. The whole point of QLC is that it will eventually be less expensive by a large amount, but right now it isn't, and that makes it a bad investment.

The HP/Mushkin ones don't have a DRAM cache

Not enough info on the Silicon Power One

The Scorch seems comparable to the 660p in any event.

Which only minimally affect the speed of the drive, and is primarily a longevity increaser. (and since TLC is already a longer lifespan, it's not a significant detriment to it) I can confirm from personal experience that the EX900 meets its performance specifications when empty, and only drops by about 10-15% when it's 90% full. (abnormally low performance drop) I can also confirm from experience that the Mushkin meets its performance specs when empty or with just Windows installed.

What info do you feel it's lacking? It is an ultra-generic drive in the first place, so pretty much the same features as the rest of them are to be expected.

At a lower price, and with a longer expected lifespan. It's also the slowest of the bunch, but still faster than the 660p.
