Intel 2TB 660P Series M.2 PCI Express 3.0 x 4 Internal Solid State Drive

I bought this as part of a home-brew system for doing computational physics. I've only had it for a few weeks, so I can't speak to its long term reliability. If you see this in late 2020 or thereafter, ping me and I'll put in an update.That said:It was easy to install -- plug it in, watch it go.I had no trouble formatting it to ext4 using the Linux parted tool.One of my test programs does a lot of disk I/O, and I did not see a significant slowdown in the response of the system during this time.So for now, it works just fine for me, YMMV

Using this 2TB drive as a storage drive in my main gaming/work desktop, with my main OS drive being a 970 Pro 1TB.Works great for quick random-access for data files, or games that I don't plan on keeping around on the drive for too long. No complaints, except it took some effort to get recognized with my PCI-e adapter (my motherboard only has one m.2 drive), but that could have been the adapter itself.

It's really hard to beat the $/GB value on this SSD. While the technology used might not be ideal if you are constantly reading and writing data, for normal use and gaming you'll have a hard time finding similar performance and capacity for anywhere near the same cost.

I have had several spinning HDD failures . These are much less likely to fail and amazingly fast.

Great product for storage.
