The M9 series comes with 3D NAND so maybe hold your money or wait for the price to drop. I haven't noticed any problems with throttling so far. Mine is also located right under the graphics card of my MSI B350M Gaming Pro, which I think adds a ton of extra heat. But the rest of the disc is just fantastic. UEFI recognized it immediately and I was able to install Windows on it in minutes. Large installations are easy. NVMe is definitely superior to SATA III. From UEFI screen to Windows login in about 3 seconds. While not EVO it's a great product and looks great (if your board will allow it).
