Ofcourse.. 10 min after I order from Newegg.. Anyways Newegg is 10 bucks cheaper with the coupon. Otherwise would have preferred amazon due to their return policy.

This is a faster drive. So better to make it the boot or the system driveMatthewG566 wrote: ↑Thanks got one for my new razer blade. Should I use this as a boot drive or leave the m. 2 that's already there?

I'm not sure....looking to put together a new build in the next while, and in the other thread someone posted this: https://www.maketecheasier.com/does-nvm ... -heatsink/ Seems to indicate that yes, you really should have a heatsink on them. Anyone have any experience with this?saberon2016 wrote: ↑ I use mine in a desktop and I’ve never seen the temperature get anywhere near thermal throttling levels even when copying 100GB+

Getting a heatsink for a PCIe 3x4 M.2 SSD? Not necessary whatsoever. Only PCIe 4x4 is necessary. The SSD will always heat up... Heat dissipation is taken care of or not necessary...period. You won't kill the SSD or hurt it in any way and you would have to be doing extremely unusual to get it to throttle. No conflicting info. SSDs are sold to simply put them in M.2 slots of present 3x4 systems..or laptops.

Tried all this and still didn't work probably due to router ad filtering. Went to mobile hot-spot and it finally came up in a different private browser.shoppingsheep wrote: ↑ I had to use incognito mode (or clear the browser cookies) and use an email address that never subscribe to it before to get the second email with the promote code. You would probably need to use the same email for your order.

You should have a heatsink, with high load usage it would get hot and without heatsink the controller will clock things down to reduce temperature aka thermal throttling.Happy13178 wrote: ↑ I'm not sure....looking to put together a new build in the next while, and in the other thread someone posted this: https://www.maketecheasier.com/does-nvm ... -heatsink/ Seems to indicate that yes, you really should have a heatsink on them.

I will post it later tonight.

I have this version. On a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot on my old motherboard with heat sink. 500GB. Currently 87.8 Deg F on idle. It is my data drive, and read/write is used less. Copying a 6GB iso from a mechanical HDD 1TB took 60 seconds. Averaged 150MB/sec

Did you run any benchmark on it? On paper pcie 2.0 x4 has 2000MB/s bandwidth
