Bought this as a boot drive for my new 9900K build. Was a bit concerned at first about the speed as my last NVMe boot drive was a Samsung Pro 960 and I wanted to have similar performance. I shouldn't have worried. This little guy is lightning fast and it seems by the time my finger has lifted off the power button my PC is already at the login screen. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a relatively cheap NVMe boot drive for their next build. With the 500gb model you also have enough room for your main software to take advantage of the extra speed.
