    Real world usage will be basically identical and both will be great for most users.
    Performance wise they are both a step up from a Crucial P1/Intel 660p, but a level below something like the 970 Evo.

    a2000 is faster at the first 300GB as it has approx 150GB SLC cache, but after the usage of 80% (like if you install 10 games or more) its speed might drop to 550m/s while SN550 can still be at 800-1000M/s (but might take up to 3GB of your ram as cache)

  Even cheaper at $135.48 if you select the same item from Amazon UK.

    Buy both, use the AU one which delivers Monday, return the UK one as AU one for that sweet $7.

  Realistically there isn't a great advantage of the Evo over this as just an OS/games drive right?

  • 

    jp1011 on 20/11/2020 - 12:40

    For the usage you described this or the A2000 would both be great.
    The 970 Evo pulls away in large long-duration file transfers, but most people would never see that benefit in their normal usage!

      ATangk on 20/11/2020 - 12:45

      The very first time someone transfers their files :P. But then it would be limited by the older drive, especially if it was a hdd.

        Exactly right!

  I'm super tempted to buy this drive from Amazon UK… But will it be even cheaper next week?! The decisions!

    Reviveme on 20/11/2020 - 15:27

    If you don't need it now, hold out. That's what I'm doing. Ssd/nvme seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper anyway even if they're not going to be on black Friday /cyber Monday sale.

  I bought the SN550 from Amazon UK. Thanks OP. Used cashrewards and discounted giftcard balance…
  Maybe people don't like ordering from Amazon UK; but I believe this drive is just as good as the Kingston A2000; and it is slightly cheaper than the current Centrecom deal.
