Great SSD, will update for reliability
Almost as fast as advertised, I think other reviewers used the secondary m.2 slot. I used the cpu m.2 slot with the gigabyte's nvme cooler that came with my b660 gaming x motherboard. the ssd is very hot though, ambient is 25c, idle ssd temps sitting at 35c, reading temps sitting at 45c and writing temps at 58c. on a hot day, the idle temps were 47c, the ambient was about 32c. this is the cheapest ssd with dram that is available right now. also according to pny its rated for 1800 tbw. this is insane, even the samsung 970 pro is rated for 600 tbw. overall seems like a solid product.
