I have found this drive only runs about $20 or so more than a competing 2.5" SSD.
A word on the speed of these NVMe drives. Yes, they are fast. And benchmarks will show nearly 3 times as fast as a good 2.5 SATA SSD.
However, I have seen multiple tests that show that this doesn't mean that games and large programs are going to run any faster. The only time you might really notice the boost in read/write speed is when you are transferring large files.
The best advantage of this form factor of SSD is the lack of cables! Just plug into the board, turn in the screw that holds it in place, and you are done. No power cable, no SATA cable to go bad on you.
I would and probably will buy another 600p drive.
And may I offer a bit of advice buying an SSD? DO NOT buy cheap. They go bad rather quickly. Buy a make that is known for making great SSD's and has a track record of doing so. Intel, Samsung, Crucial, Sandisk. Maybe Kingston. I have not had good luck with ADATA drives. EVERY ADATA drive I purchased failed within 6 months. Not the case from the other brands listed, I have purchased at least one of each.
After filling up the partition I ran my standard suite of random-read tests. The 600P hardware supports 8 queues, so 16 threads runs a queue depth of 4. I also ran selected tests at 64 threads (queue depth of 8) but performance did not improve, so I didn't include those numbers.
I usually don't bother with a single-thread sequential read test but the part gave such shockingly bad results that I did that too as a one-off, and got around 186MBytes/sec @ 32KB block size. Also ridiculously bad. For example, the same simple sequential read test with a Samsung 960 EVO yields 1200 MBytes/sec. And honestly, this is probably the #1 reason why I'm giving the Intel 600P a failing score. They shouldn't even be selling this piece of junk. The last time I was shocked this badly was with the Intel 750 (the big PCIe card), which completely falls over when I/Os use block sizes 64KB or higher.
Sure, this baby is cheap, only $110 or so. But both the Samsung and Toshiba offerings are only just slightly more expensive and have far, FAR higher performance.

In addition, during a longer multi-threaded read test the 600P hit its temperature limit and auto-throttled. To be fair, this is a good thing.. it hit 75C, flagged it, and throttled to keep it from over-heating (this is the 600P firmware doing this, not the machine or the BIOS). Overheated flash parts can lead to early failures. However, this was a read test and honestly these devices should not over-temp during a read-test. I should note that in all my tests, the only NVMe SSD that got hotter than the Intel was the Toshiba at 80C, and it didn't flag the critical temperature or throttle (insofar as I can tell). Even though Intel is doing the right thing here, I still can't recommend it due to the enormous number of other performance issues with the device.
This SSD literally has a 5 second or less boot up time with windows 10 pro.
TL;DR │ Most practical NVMe drive you can buy.

This is a TLC SSD. TLC is a type of SSD which is inferior to MLC SSDs' (like the 950 PRO and 960 PRO from Samsung). However, for the price, this is a winner. Another competitor for this is the upcoming (as of this writing) 960 EVO from Samsung, which also uses TLC NAND. That however, will be more expensive at launch. Plus Intel already has you covered, right now.
I personally think that if you are doing a regular, non-enthusiast, non-"bragging rights" build, this is more than enough. Why? A jump from HDD to SSD is significant. But a jump from SATA to NVMe (PCIe x4) is epic. It won't really matter if you're rocking a top-of-the-line NVMe SSD, as this is still superior in every way to a SATA SSD. The real world difference between this, and a more enthusiast MLC SSD is almost negligible, whereas the difference between this and a SATA SSD is remarkable — that is if you are doing demanding work. A lot of people do not even notice the difference between a SATA SSD and a PCIe/NVMe SSD, because of the tasks they are perform in their PCs. I have all sorts of SSDs in machines, and I hardly notice any "significant" gains.
WHAT I LIKE │ + │
+ Very much worth the price tag.
+ M.2 form factor. No bulky U.2 or PCIe card.
+ Still super fast.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE │ × │
× Looks plain old green board.
× Being TLC, it has a shorter lifespan.
× It did came in an outer brown box that looks "shady".
