Took the plunge and ordered one today.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were the one saying you'd gotten a Premium for $115, instead of $120. That was thebufenator that we're having troubles believing (or just want to know how they got the deal!), see below.
I am not seeing high temps on mine.
Not sure if budget friendly drives and Intel go hanh in hand
only issue to watch with heatsinks, the controller chip sits lower than the memory. The one I bought would not contact the controller.
sure thing! a japanese company called CFD also sells an nvme drive which uses the phison e12 controller, and they posted a firmware update tool on their site for their ssds. i downloaded that from here and used the setting "DLMC" for function, and "activated at the next reset" for parameter action within the program. once it was complete i just restarted and the firmware was updated. hope this helps!
E12 12.2 firmware update worked on Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVMe - lowered my drive temps!
As has been mentioned before, the Sabrent Rocket M.2 SSD series is Phison E12 based.. and it can be updated to 12.2 firmware if you get the old 12.1.
In for another one.. I already have two of these drives on my Ryzen desktop (which I bought for 149$ each from Amazon so 133$ + coupon is an awesome deal IMO). Will replace the one on my Hackintosh with this one - crossing my fingers, no issues. Opted for this one instead of the Inland Premium as the Sabrent Rocket has 5 year warranty when registered on Sabrent's site.
In another note, the Samsung EVO PLUS NVME has issues with Hackintosh's (I ran into the problem, alnog with a bunch of other people), kernel panics after using the drive for a bit.. No problems with the 970 EVO's or the 970 PRO's, just the 970 EVO PLUS - must be a firmware issue.
$105 now, LOL! Just in time to get $20 each back from my previous run, take the savings and buy some more.
If your local microcenter is out of drives...you probably live near me

Wait does microcenter refund price differences when a sale hits?
would this be faster than my evo 960 as a main OS drive
This drive at $105 is a win / win regardless.
Just got an ASUS Zephyrus M, picked this up to replace the 256gb Samsung m.2 that's in it. Anyone know an easy way to clone the drives if I only have 1 m.2 slot?
yes call :Wait does microcenter refund price differences when a sale hits?
Purchased online but i havent gotten the email confirmationThat is a fact. I'm getting more and more tempted to upgrade my 512GB Samsung 950 Pro. Don't really need a 1TB+ boot drive with my two 2TB SATA SSDs, but would be nice to have a little more breathing room regardless.
I was thinking about this post and how it could apply to your situation. You could possibly connect a SATA SSD to the laptop via a USB adapter, dump your Samsung's image to it, swap the m.2 drives out, then boot to the restore media and point it to the image on the SATA HDD.
When did you place your order Antok?Purchased online but i havent gotten the email confirmation

Couldn't you get some thermal pads to take care of that?
Well at the price these are now I just ordered two. Now my 4 port Dell NVME card will have all 4 slots with 1TB sticks (two HP EX920 and now two of these).
Nice! Does it just treat them as separate drives? Do you get full bandwidth out of each of them if you're copying between them?

I'd like to know too, just to validate how the setup should work. By design, each drive should have its own PCIe bus link, so as long as the CPU can shuttle the data back and forth, there should be no bottlenecks and full drive speeds should be achievable in any direction.
I doubt anyone is going to tie up a system or 20 doing that, and unless they tested 100 or more it would be a worthless data point.has anyone done any write testing to these to check for number of writes until failure etc? I would think they'd be cheap enough that someone out there would run a failure test on this.
