Please don't buy an 8XX M.2 drive. They really have bad thermal issues. I had to take my 960 Pro out of my laptop because of heating problems even after I threw on some heat sinks. Honestly, unless the M.2 slot is your only drive space then get a normal SSD (unless editing or CAD), since you will not even notice the performance difference.

Just bought an 850 Evo SATA SSD. Works great. My last Samsung SSD lasted 5 years or so before it gave out.
