Guys, this is the cheapest one i have seen. I just bought the 2tb one for over $600….
If you want a cheap very FAST SSD you can't go past this one!

True, However the write speed is double that of the Kingston (according the TomsHardWare);

zero perceivable real world difference
Even for video editing, who tf edits 16Gbit/s footage?
What about common things like waking your PC from sleep? Or Booting up. Seems like a faster disc would have measurable differences in reducing time here.
@Elijha: Not at all. When it's asleep it's actually in RAM, and even if it was in the drive it's all about random speeds which will be pretty close. Also why TF would you put it to sleep you have an SSD! Waste of electricity!
@Elijha: I wouldn’t go with boot or program load times for an argument against gen 3 and gen 4… I use a gen 3 nvme and the boot and wake from hibernation is almost instant and the largest part of boot is for post completion. You might shave off a second or two best possible case.
You cannot just say "Zero perceivable real world difference" without specifying what you're doing with it.
Say if you're data crunching extremely large datasets that generally takes a few days, a faster drive could and usually will make hours difference.
But yes, for your average joe, there will generally be no perceivable real world difference for anything they do.
Also note that the A2000 also has a low endurance rating (typical of budget drives).
Depending on the use case, that should also be taken into account, but it shouldn't be a problem for most people.
@wwwsam: A2000 low? It's pretty standard for the price, I think it's pretty much on par with the 970 EVO.
@Void: Yeah I just looked it up and its on par with the 970 evo.
But for a 1TB drive, the endurance is on the low side.
I'm just saying if you're pulling a lot of i/o across the drive a day (say average 1TB a day), you may notice it dying in under 2 years.
To my understanding, the TBW rating only really serves as an indicator, and your mileage may be further reduced if say you were to constantly write on a fairly full drive (restricting the area it can write on).
@wwwsam: Dang if you're putting 1TB a day through it then you should be getting an MLC drive like the 970 Pro then. No TLC + DRAM drive from any end is going to be up to that.
Where can i get that ?
Centrecom.
True. I bought mine last Friday from centrecom for my XPS 13 upgrade!
comes with heat sink as standard, a bonus for those concerned about throttling when hot e.g sustained writes, but check if your motherboard already comes with a heat sink and thermal pad, some do now.
the heat sinks are like red cars, they make it go faster haha
If you know anything about SSDs, you'll be aware that you can quickly warm them up to the point that thermal throttling kicks in, dramatically reducing performance. Heat sinks and sufficient airflow to cool them are absolutely essential for high performance SSDs that will be subjected to regular, sustained access cycles.
Conversely, heatsinks on DRAM are actually only necessary in extreme edge cases - 99.999% of consumer PCs will never benefit from DRAM cooling in real-world use (memory intensive benchmarking is not a real world use).
don't think heatsinks is that important.
Cheaper at amazon atm (172.45 = 7.76 Del = 180.21.) for prime members
however stock doesn't arrive till sept 4-8
bought it on sunday still on pick status still not shipped should i contact them?
Or just get a Kingston A2000 1TB for $24 cheaper with zero perceivable real world difference, but some people love the placebo effect.
