Afaik the durability tests (read / writes) showed that actually the Corsair SSDs are taking a lot more writes than guaranteed. (Also, wasn't there a test forum here on guru3d too where they tested Neutrons? Or were those OCZ SSDs?)

Given that is installed on a pci-e card but has less storage than the Samsung pro/evo 960 equivalent i think its a pretty good price and given that my Samsung pro 960 500gb has suggested read speed of 3200 on m.2 pci-3.0 x4 but real world speed is around 2400 populated with 100gb free space i`d guess this is just behind the Samsung pro 960 or on par with the evo 960, so its down to a preference between Samsung or Corsair and whether the pci card actually servers as cooling.

Thats about the same or cheaper than Intels comparable drives, and 3GB/s is insanely fast.
