until directstorage api is released (and game devs have to incorporate it into each game), while nvme will be technically a little faster here and there (we're talking a few seconds at most, generally speaking), it won't "feel" faster, at least for everyday uses & gaming. at least nowhere near the difference you'd feel from a HDD to a SATA SSD.

on paper, this seems like it should be like 13x faster (7000mbps vs typical 550mbps on a sata ssd), but that's sequential read speeds, meaning you'd see that more if you were doing something like transferring a single, very large file, for example.

the nvme also has much higher IOPS which is honestly what impacts everyday uses more (it involves latency in read/write commands, which is what truly distinguishes SSDs against HDDs), but again, to really fully utilize the higher limits of nvme vs sata, you'd need to be doing something more specific and data intensive, which applies more to professionals.

at the end of the day, if you're getting an SSD, think about your budget/needs. this is one of the best SSDs out there right now (until pcie gen 5), with samsung being one of the most reliable brands for SSD. if you need a brand new SSD, i do recommend nvme at this day and age since it's not going to destroy your wallet (compared to SATA), and once directstorage api is utilized for PCs, it might make a difference.

but if you're already running on a SATA SSD, you don't need to run out and upgrade to this now thinking it will be a significant improvement. you won't feel it enough to justify the cost.
The bottom is falling out of the SSD market.
No surprise in recession.

Thank you. I have been meaning to upgrade the old 128 GB boot drive on my PC with Asus x570i for a while. The motherboard already comes with a SSD heat sink so this one is perfect. I snagged one. Repped.

For normal tasks and games, does this feel faster than a standard ssd?

If by "standard" you mean a SATA 2.5inch, yes

Really good price on this, though it feels like SSDs may finally be dropping as others have noted.

Picked one of these up on an upgrade a while back and I've been pleased with its performance.

For the heatsink v no heatsink: check if there's one already on your mobo before you spend extra for the one with the heatsink - many boards have heatsink a build in now for these.

Will the version with the heat sink fit in a Dell G15?

Best buy has it for $159 MSRP so $200 isn't realistic

For some reason the heatsink sku is cheaper?
