Been looking at these for a little while and this is the cheapest I have seen it.
"The SM951 boasts outstanding performance, supporting both PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2.0 interfaces. For use in the latest ultra-slim notebooks, it can read and write sequentially at 1,600MB/s (megabytes per second) and 1,350MB/s respectively based on PCIe 2.0. This performance level is approximately three times faster than that of the latest SSD with a SATA interface and about 30 percent faster than that of the Samsung XP941, its predecessor. In addition, the new SSD’s random read and write speeds reach up to 130,000 and 85,000 IOPS (inputs/outputs per second) respectively."

Sorry guys, just checked the model number and it isn't the NVMe one after all :disappointed: this is the MZHPV512HDGL. The NVMe drive has model number MZVPV512HDGL. Have edited the title.

I have one in my pc and even on an old motherboard surpasses my SSD in both read/write. Can't wait to see its performance once I change motherboard which properly supports it.
