It just works. I didn't actually need to install any drivers for my system to read it as an NVMe drive and achieve NVMe performance. This may vary depending on your system, but for me, with 2 of these puppies on an ASRock Z370 Pro4 using an 8700K, the install was utterly painless. You'll still want to install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers to be sure, but benchmarking it before and after installing the drivers showed zero performance increase for me.
Additionally, this works excellently in RAID 0, which is good because the 1TB drive is not available yet. Sequential reads and writes show a big performance bump in RAID 0, while random reads and writes are largely unchanged.
Review benchmarks show this product will get considerably slower as you fill it up, even more so than SSDs typically do - so plan to have more capacity than you need. Benchmarking these RAID 0 drives at 2% and 37% full shows considerable drops in random read and write performance already. I am not planning to fill up this drive, but if you are, this could be a dealbreaker.
This is an excellent drive for the price. But be aware of how much slower it will get when full. If you're planning on using the full space available on the drive, your performance gains over a cheaper SATA drive will start to disappear.

Dead in less than a year, with major ramifications to my PC.
I would not by again.

| Features | Empowered by Intel's innovative Intel's 3D NAND QLC technology, this SSD offers higher capacities at a lower cost than TLC-based storages. With PCIe, the new Intel SSD 660p skips SATA and its limitations. The future of storage is built on PCIe, NVMe and QLC technologies, so choose the Intel SSD 660p, ideal for Laptops and Desktops running everyday computing applications. Compared to TLC's capacity, Intel 3D NAND QLC technology stores more bits per cell, allowing for higher capacity, faster read performance and lower power consumption per drive. This technology makes the most of small spaces by expanding capacities up to 2TB of storage on small M.2 form factor. |
