I'm looking to move from a traditional SSD to an m.2 for my new PC.

Already have my board, the Asus ROG Strix B550-E Gaming, since that comes with m.2 heatsinks i guess the heat isn't a concern anymore?

Heat was never really a concern. Heat is only a problem if you transfer hundreds of GB of data at once, which you rarely do at home.

I am a long time user of Crucial's MX300 and now the MX500.

I have an MX500 500 GB and the lifetime percent is only at 83 percent in one year, with only 4 TBW! Looks a lot like my MX500 will only withstand 20 TBW!

I don't even break 40 celsius on this drive.

I can confirm anyone wanting to buy this drive, don't bother with momentum cache, its basically junk. I did a 7-zip unzipping test of same files, momentum cache off and on, and when the cahce was on it was slower by about 7-10 seconds each time.

Leaving it off everything feels a bit snappier too. I already uninstalled the software, best to just use the p5 1tb drive plug n play.

I added a heatsink and some copper to mine, I don't break like 45 celsius now for 90% of things.
