I ordered two 2TB NVMe SSDs for my Dell Precision 7740 laptop. The SSD outperforms the NVMe SSD that Dell originally supplied, is incredibly cheap and doesn't overheat. A few important details: 1. It is enough to fill 4 PCIe lanes when reading.2. Even in steady state (transferring hundreds of GB or 1 TB or more at once), the transfer rate only drops to 600-700 MB/s. That's fine for most applications, but if you need to support multi-GB transfer rates for very large amounts of data (read: hundreds of GBs or TBs at a time), you should look into a professional SSD or a RAID 0 solution will eventually overrun the SSD.3 cache. Based on my research, this is the best NVMe SSD on the market for the money. The 2TB drive version is slightly slower than the 1TB version. If you buy a smaller drive, you'll get even better performance than me.5. My typical workflow consists of an Adobe package with 1GB+ Photoshop documents, 4K video editing at 60fps in Premiere, virtual machines, and transferring (read/write) at least hundreds of GB of data per day.6. It has an endurance of 1.6 petabytes. Should last quite a long time in professional use, also as a scratch drive. Do I recommend buying and using this NVMe SSD? Yes, without a doubt. This is a buy recommendation!
