Intel 660p 512GB M.2 SSD

Intel's 660p NVMe solid state drives are their first models to use dense QLC flash memory, greatly increasing capacity and lowering the price per GB to the level of good quality SATA-based SSDs. The trade-off comes with performance and endurance: these drives are not as fast as models using less dense types of flash memory, especially with extended writing and as the drive fills up. The vast majority of the time, though, the 660p will be much faster than SATA based drives - while also taking up less space inside a computer, thanks to the compact M.2 form factor.

This particular model has 512GB of capacity with up to 1500MB/s read and 1000MB/s write speeds - and is rated for 100TB of data writes over the course of its life.
