Take a look at the read/write specs on this hot mama:

At 2,500MB/s read and 1,500MB/s write, that is 5x and 3x (respectively) faster than the average SSD.
Dammit. I had a nice 1TB SSD around $275 that I figured will be sufficient in my next build (probably at the end of the month). Now that I've looked up what M.2 drives are, I want one.

Looks like a cheap M.2 drive like the Intel 600p series goes for $250 for 500 GB. Not bad at all..but half the storage I was planning on.
