Anything that slots into a PCI slot becomes instantly desirable. Don't know why.

Yeah, once they are able to better compete on price it will certainly be a competitor ....

That's far too pricey for the performance, pretty bad that it's much slower than a 960 pro and more expensive.

For anyone looking for the best bang for your buck, the MyDigitalSSD BPX has performance similar to the 960 evo at $200 for 480GB. Not to mention, it even has MLC flash and a 5 year warranty.

That drive is PCI Express, not M.2 like those "faster and cheaper" Samsung ones.

So review is comparing apples to oranges.

@Steve - can't the end user attach a heat sink to an M.2? (or is it not presenting the heat to the surface available)

This is one fad I won't be jumping on any time soon...
