Nice. $100/TB on a highly performant drive.

Getting harder to justify now that Gen 4.0 is coming on Intel.

it feels like it has been $100 per TB for way too long. I know this is a performance drive but I was getting used to SSD capacity halving in cost each year from 2005 to 2016

I've had 2 of these used daily since November 2019. No problems whatsoever.

There was a destructive firmware update leaked that supposedly fixes some slowdown issues with stock firmware.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NewMaxx/..._firmware/

I updated one of my drives about 6-months ago. Didn't notice much difference, but no issues either. No official non-destructive firmware update has ever been released, so if you buy this and want the update, you might consider doing it before cloning your old drive or installing fresh OS to it.

Yeah, just saying that Gen 4 is the future. But the best Gen 4 drives do bench considerably faster.

Obviously they are both very fast but yeah you probably won't notice a difference unless you are swapping HUGE files between drives that are each on independent PCIe lanes. Most programs can't load quick enough to make any difference. My Optane 900P boot drive is about 3x faster in 4K random, which I feel helps slightly in windows responsiveness, reading and writing small files. The new Optane P5800X Gen 4.0 is a beast.
