Review: Best bang for your buck - Prior to this SSD drive, I had a SanDisk 960 GB SATA SSD M.2 drive. I am transferring files at ~200-400 MB/s with that drive, but this Intel M.2 NVMe SSD blows it out of the water. I would personally say this is in between the speeds of SATA SSDs and high-end NVMe SSDs since I was getting benchmark speeds of ~ 1.4 GB/s. It was super easy to install on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit OS on an Alienware 17 R3 laptop, and I plan on transferring this drive to a new laptop in the future once the 9th gen Intel processors release to retain data. Keep in mind that this isn't a glorified Samsung Pro series NVMe SSD, but it definitely raises brows amongst the tech community in terms of value and performance. At a rated 200 TB TBW, this NVMe drive will go a long way. Let's say I transferred 10GB of data daily... That means I would be writing 3.65 TB of files a year making this theoretically capable of lasting about 55 years. Realistically, I plan to replace this drive after 5 years of use due to the exponential advancement in tech... In the meantime, this is the best deal you can get from a reliable company in regards to speed, reliability, endurance, and value. Overall, this makes a perfect storage drive for content creators, gamers, or tech enthusiasts looking for value and performance. Review: A great replacement for the cheap HDD in your Gaming Laptop - So I had this SSD for about 2 months now, and I can tell you this... Once you switch from an HDD to an SSD, there's no turning back. This SSD isn't the fastest or most reliable, but if you're looking for something to replace a laptop HDD or just want fast "cheap" storage, this is the best bang for the buck (unless you wait for the 2TB one to drop in price). This suited my needs of just replacing the HDD in my laptop and making it feel tons faster. The difference is insane, as I just wait 5-10 seconds for my PC to boot, rather than the 5-10 minutes it used to take to have Steam, Discord and the other applications ready to be used. For gaming, its great. Games are notably faster in load times, such as Final Fantasy taking less time to load worlds and such. I use to have issues where my HDD would be capped out in how fast it can work, now the SSD barely gets to 30% usage when installing games. However, I do have to say to not install this on any PC, because it depends on your CPU to make the most of it. Since I have a laptop i5, it's not the smartest choice as my CPU at times can't keep up with the speeds. Other than that, its a solid SSD. ## Features - 512GB Storage Capacity - M2. 2280 Form Factor - PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 Interface - 1500 MB/s Sequential Read Speeds. 1000 Sequential Write Speeds.

Will this drive slow down after I fill it up to 700gb of games? I have 20mbps internet** A: It isn't a significant upgrade going from sata ssd to nvme unless you often edit big videos. The 660p is slow when writing data in its native QLC mode so it begins by writing in SLC-cache mode. Once this cache runs out it's then as slow as a hard drive and as the drive fills up it will reach that limit ever more quickly and then you will regret it. It's better just to get a premium SATA SSD like a Western Digital Blue or Samsung 860 EVO. One 660p user: "I got the 1tb 660p and i am not happy with it. slc cache is way smaller than advertised. My drive is around 50% full and after ~10-11gb write boom 100mb/s." Another: "I own a 1TB 660P. I do not like the SLOW sequential writes. I find the Adata SX8200 PRO a great middle ground. It is very nearly as fast as a Sammy NVME ssd." Another: "DO NOT BUY THIS SSD in my opinion. Id say Im your typical PC user and Ive bought it brand new a month ago and sold it now after a month. It was 1TB version. Your PC will feel fast, however you will face its limitations once in a while and they are extremely annoying. I had just built a brand new PC and had to copy some big files more than once, so I encountered these problems too many times. Its sustained writes are unaceptepbly slow! Whenever you'll need to transfer bigger files, games etc. its speed drops to 100MB/s. In theory the speed drops depending how full it is, but you are buying 1TB so that you could use it and not for keeping half of it empty so it would work fast. I dont know if it is because of drivers or because of the technology but I believe it may be a little more complicated than just keeping some free space in it. Its sustained writes speed could be low in my experience even when its almost empty. I had the pleasure of formating this 1TB SSD at 100MB/s before selling it, so I know. And I tried formating piece by piece and other methods. From my experience it gets slow when you use it a lot and not necessarily when it is getting more full. Probably both of these things affect the speed. You can clear the cache in Intel software but it often helped only temporarily and 10GB into copying you get 100MB/s again." "Not the fastest, but bang for the buck except when it comes to thermals. It runs so hot I had to pull it from my work station. So be advised, if you use this chip it could even double the temperature of your system board." Mr Intel, what is a 5-year warranty? Zero years, sir, and that's a cast-iron fist-pumpin' guarantee. **Q: Es compatible con la board b450 aorus pro wifi?** A: Yes **Q: I would like to build a Linux machine. What motherboards are compatiable wih this drive?** A: Please check the manual of your computer. For example, I use a computer HP Elitebook 850 G3, I read the manual from HP, it can support NVMe PCIe drives - [M.2 (2280) 256 GB PCIe-3×4 SS NVMe]. So I bought this disk and it has worked well. I have installed with Fedora 30 Linux and MS Windows 10 Pro. **Q: Do it work in gigabyte aero 15 oled ?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bang for your buck *by T***D on April 30, 2019* Prior to this SSD drive, I had a SanDisk 960 GB SATA SSD M.2 drive.

Once you switch from an HDD to an SSD, there's no turning back. This SSD isn't the fastest or most reliable, but if you're looking for something to replace a laptop HDD or just want fast "cheap" storage, this is the best bang for the buck (unless you wait for the 2TB one to drop in price).

Not the fastest, but still reasonably fast *by J***E on February 7, 2020* This drive is outstanding for general everyday use. I use it to store my Steam library, movie collection, photos, and a lot of archival backups and that sort of thing so it has worked great for me for the past 3 months. I bought this drive because my new laptop doesn't have slot for big 2.5" mechanical drives and instead only has 2 NVMe slots. I chose a fast SLC NVMe SSD (Samsung 970 Evo) as my primary boot drive to get stupid-fast speeds for my operating system + apps and then chose this Intel 660p SSD as my storage drive where I keep the rest of my bigger files that don't necessarily need to be accessed ludicrously-fast. Don't get me wrong, this is still a very speedy drive and it's served me very well and I have no complaints, but remember that you're buying this to get a huge amount of storage at a really good price (for NVMe SSDs anyways). Other 2TB NVMe SSDs can be twice as expensive. The value is the amount of storage, not the performance or longevity. That's the benefit of this drive. You will get pretty good read and write speeds, especially with relatively smaller files (a couple GB) but once the SLC cache fills up performance will dip substantially (see screenshots). Writing files that are several hundred MB or a couple GB usually goes very fast, but bigger files will slow down after the initial burst. This drive can be great, but just consider how you'll be using this. You can probably use it as your boot drive and install Windows just fine, but that's not the ideal use case of this drive in my opinion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D2 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW512G8X1 - GIGABYTE Z790 UD AC (LGA 1700/ Intel Z790/ ATX/ DDR5/ Triple M.2/ PCIe 5.0/ USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C/Intel Wi-Fi/ 2.5GbE LAN/PCIe EZ-Latch/Multi-Key/Motherboard) - Antec Performance 1 FT, Full Tower, RTX40 Fully Compatible, Temp Display, 4 x Storm T3 PWM Fans, Type-C, Dual TG Side Panels, Removable Top Bracket, High Airflow Mesh Front Panel, E-ATX PC Gaming Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/87048545-intel-660p-series-m-2-2280-512gb-pcie-3-0](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/87048545-intel-660p-series-m-2-2280-512gb-pcie-3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
