Considering how close in performance this is to the Crucial MX500 1tb and that the 960 Evo 1tb is 100€ more expensive i think ill be going for the former.

Not close at all. 900 series are NVMe. MX500 is a contender to 800 SATA series.

Great hard-disk replacement for smaller laptops which support single 2.5" drive (1 or 2TB version)
NVMe drives are nice and everything, but they are still very pricey for the size, and games are HUGE these days, meaning I'd have to use the 2nd drive in a laptop, which is usually a crappy HDD, killing all my loading times.

Glad to see 4TB is finally reaching mainstream, a bit expensive but eh, it will come down, slowly but surely.
