This was a premium targeted drive built by OCZ.  No one was buying it as the EVO is faster, but it is a good drive at this price.

Oh. Is this any better than an M.2?

Nah.  SATA III speeds top out around 500Mb/s read/write.

 

MLC Flash driven by a SM controller.  Just a decent drive overall.  I recently picked up a $94 (CDN) Patriot Ignite because I know I do not need to pay another $30 for the 850 EVO.  The speed difference does not benefit me much.

 

I would have grabbed this (AMD R3) if it was available 3 weeks ago.
