Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW010T8X1

Very satisfied with this product and the benchmarks one sees on Youtube are spot on. As with any Intel product, compatibility wasnt even a question. Also, the support pages for this on their website is the whole reason to buy this name brand but if that isnt enough the price point was lower than the competition. And personally, I dont even like them as a company because they are too arrogant. LOL But they make a great product and this one shows.

I have been using the Intel 660p M.2, as a storage medium for editing videos (4k), meaning I dump the raw footage onto the 660P using either or even both Resolve and PrPro/AE to edit, without any lag or having to wait hours for footage to load. I will admit some of the more intense graphics may take a tad longer but I suspect that is more due to limitations of the CPU/GPU.

I have this one since 2019 (Time of review 01-11-2022), and it works great. Speeds are as you see in the picture. Kudos to Intel to making a good affordable M2 SSD.

Updeat - 2 yeas of use and not one problem. Moved to external device and then to a new computer and it still works perfectly. Works well so far. Write and read speeds are good for such an inexpensive NVME. Speed drops after the first few GBs to a steady 600 MBS. Tested on old 990FX with FX8370 cpu in a Pcie 2.0x4 slot. If I remember to update this rating and it is still working in six months it will get all five stars. Compared to regular SSDs this is a great bargain.

Item was for my son

Much improved gaming experiences since the M.2 works best with my MSI chipset and 2081Ti video card.

I installed the 2 TB SSD in place of the OEM 128 GB original to my laptop using a Sintech adapter. I initialized this to APFS and created 2 volumes in a single container. One volume currently runs Mojave 10.14.6 and the other runs Catalina 10.15.1. I have had no problem with either MacOS in this configuration for two months of use. I can now clone my Catalina running desktop to my laptop for travel. And as a benefit I can also boot Mojave to run some older software I still currently need to access. An inexpensive way to breed new life into my older laptop.

I bought this to replace a smaller evo m.2 that housed my OS. I downloaded the Intel Data Migration Tool off of the Intel site and it was great. Fastest, easiest, cleanest transfer Ive ever done. Plus the software is free as long as you have an Intel drive. If youre worried about the performance of the drive compared to other ssds, dont. It is just as fast as my evo was and because of the extra space, my system is speeding along. I used my second M.2 slot on my MoBo and the whole transfer of my boot drive and files around 220GB barely took 2 minutes. The longest part of switching drives, was turning off my pc to install and uninstall ssds. After I used my pc all day for some work, I transferred all 92GB fallout 4 to it from a much slower sata drive in 2 minutes, watched the read and write speeds and the 660p wasnt breaking a sweat, just waiting for the poor sata SSD to read the files. So I played Fallout 4 for an hour just so I could give the for gaming 5 stars. I forsee no issues with the drive and I will give an update later on down the road as to longevity. I also recommend getting the Intel SSD toolbox to keep the drive trimmed and firmware updated, its another free program on the Intel site. TLDR; Get the drive its fast and big, use free Intel Data Migration Tool to upgrade to this huge M.2.

I purchased this little gem to replace the SSD in my Predator Helios 300. The 256 GB drive was just a little too small for my liking and I was constantly swapping games to and from the mechanical storage so Id have fast loading for whatever I was playing at the time. I needed more storage on my SSD. Enter the Crucial MX500. Good speed, good reliability, and at a reasonable price. I was ready to hit buy, then I saw the Intel 660p was on sale for the same price. A faster drive, with 12 GB more storage. I figured, why not... and have been happy since. I think this is a great product for a great price. If you can nab it on sale, go for it. Youll be happy with it.

I just came to buy another 2TB drive as this one has had zero issues since I bought it in April of 2019. Dont need the extra storage yet, but I dont want to get caught short by the chip production issues.
