Intel SSD 660P 1TB drives can already be found under £ 100 in the UK and will likely be under £ 100 shortly.
Above all, this year the prices of SSDs and RAM have dropped. Who has fallen the most in price are SSDs, being able to find 1TB units for less than 100 euros. Some drops that allow users to mount higher quality systems for a fairly reasonable price. A price drop that is also affecting the Intel 660P units. Intel's drive in the 1TB version is already under £ 100 in the UK. In Spain you can find this same unit for about 120-130 euros.
Intel SSD 660P 1TB price drops
The 660TB 1P drive is of very good quality and has NVMe SSD technology. The memory chips in this unit are QLC type. This unit offers us 1MB / s of reading and also 800MB / s of writing. They are quite good transfer speeds for a unit of these characteristics. SLC memories have been used as a cache so that the impact on drive performance is minimal. A cache that has a capacity of about 1GB, to prevent the user from noticing performance problems.
An Intel unit that in Spain is still above 120 euros and that should start to fall shortly. It is certainly a great solution for users looking for the best for their system at a reasonable price.
We must bear in mind, by the way, always in M.2 drives, that in order not to lose performance, a heatsink must be put. The problem with these units is that when they raise the temperature the performance drops. So, if your motherboard does not have a passive heatsink for these units, we must add it, to avoid performance drops.
