Thanks Camie but all my Sata ports are full. I have a crucial MX200 already. Have my eye on a Corsair NVMe MP510 1tb with 1,800,000 MTBF and 1700 TBW @ £104 from Ebuyer. I know I wont get the speed but the endurance and 5 year warranty are very attractive. I need to sleep on it.

One thing. Many mobos have a limit to what can all be used at the same time. For example, my mobo has two M.2 slots, but one is only capable of SATA 3 speeds, and if used, some of the SATA ports are not available.

Perhaps check mobo manual for any sharing between already used ports, and the planned M.2 slot.

Already done Camie, if I use an M2.Sata I lose a port but if I use M2.Nvme in the M2 slot 4 ports remain useable. I spotted that when I first got the manual.

Ok took the plunge and ordered the MP510 from Ebuyer, due tomorrow.

I don't know how many PCI-E slots you have populated on your board, but check that one do not conflict with the NVMe connector.


ii am happy with my corsairs,, if i went for a larger capacity NvME then I would get a case to convert my old one into a USB drive.

LOL, you as bad as me, take ages to decide, but once decided just go for it. I got my monitor and video card from Ebuyer, they are ok, the only thing I don't like about them is that they still use usless Yodel

Good point. There are one video x16 and 2 x1 slots one of which is occupied with an adapter. The other is spare and covered by the video heatsink so one would presume the nmve should have enough lanes.
