Review on 💻 Intel 600p M.2 80mm 256GB PCIe 3.0x4 3D1 TLC SSD Retail by James Mangum

You can buy.- - - - -This is a TLC SSD. TLC is a type of SSD that is inferior to MLC SSDs (e.g. Samsung's 950 PRO and 960 PRO). For the price, however, it's a winner. Another competitor for this is Samsung's forthcoming (at the time of writing) 960 EVO, which also uses TLC NAND. However, this gets more expensive at launch. Plus, Intel already has you covered. I personally think that if you do a normal non-enthusiast build and not "show off" that's more than enough. Why? The transition from HDD to SSD is significant. But the transition from SATA to NVMe (PCIe x4) is epic. It doesn't matter if you use a top-of-the-line NVMe SSD, as it still outperforms a SATA SSD in every way. In the real world, the difference between this and the more enthusiastic MLC SSD is almost negligible, while the difference between this and a SATA SSD is noticeable in complex work. Many people don't even notice the difference between SATA SSD and PCIe/NVMe SSD due to the tasks they perform on their PCs. I have various SSDs in my machines and I hardly ever notice a "significant" increase. WHAT I LOVE │ + │+ Very worth the price.+ M.2 form factor. No bulky U.2 or PCIe+ card. Still very fast. WHAT I DON'T LIKE │ × │× Looks like an old green card. "Doubtful".PACKAGING │✓✗│✓ Box in Box✓ SSD✓ Printed matter ✗ No freebie- - - - -VOTE: I highly recommend this product.★★★★☆
