Cheaper M.2 PCIe Alternative to Intel 750 PCIe 1.2 TB SSD

Hi all,

 

I love the potential speed afforded by Intel's NVME PCIe 750 series 1.2TB SSD but in Canada the price (+$1,400) is unmanageable. 

 

I'd sacrifice some speed for a small M.2 PCIe SSD with good storage size that is still faster than a SATA based SSD and significantly cheaper than the Intel NVME.

 

What are my options?

 

Thx.

I mean you have the 950 series but those still arent cheap and they dont have a Canadian warranty

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

The end user experience (unless you copy large files across a network or something) will not be affected by getting an Intel SSD. Go with a Samsung 850/950 Evo/Pro.

LIBERATOR: Core i5 6400 @ 2.7GHz | GeForce GTX 670 2 GB | HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 @ 2133 MHz | 250 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
My new build; Liberator, Check it out

The more friendly we are, the more helpful we are!

 

MY OLD BUILD (AKA PREBUILT MONSTROSITY)
INSANITY: AMD Athlon II X2 @ 3.0 GHz | Geforce GT 720 2 GB | 4 GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHz | 120 GB Silicon Power SSD | 500 GB Hitachi HDD

Thx all. I should mention that I don't need 1.2 tb. 750-800 gigs ideal.
