Not that it makes any real impact for most people ITT using desktops, because even a power-hungry nvme drive uses a trivial amount of power by desktop standards. But in a laptop every watt counts for battery life.

Would less power also translate to less heat, and thus less chance of throttling under heavy use? That might still be useful for a desktop if so.

Samsung costs more generally, but they do have the smaller 250GB option while most of the others start at 500.

I have a 970 evo and I hate that I need to think about that fucker rather than only worrying about reading up on bugs/firmware for the devices in my workplace

What, are 970 Evos failing too? Magician says mine has the latest firmware.

Newegg is selling Intel 670p drives for $80 for 2TB, is there anything wrong with those?
