Maybe I missed it in the review, but how much does it cost?

The Z340 series carries a slightly high price tag though, MSRP is 512GB/1TB $94.99 and $164.99, so that is 16 cents per GB for the 1TB model.

Hilbert, do the Real World Benchmarks have any value? It seems to be 3 pages of charts that all say "yep, this is an SSD" when it could be covered by a sentence or two explaining that there is no perceptible difference between SSDs on application loading/performance.

I am currently running 2x SATA SSDs (2x 1TB Crucial MX500) in a Raid0 config using AMD Raid (the bios stuff), and I literally can't tell the difference to my Samsung 960 512GB NVMe drive.
(swapped to the RAID solution for capacity, as a 2TB NVMe drive is still prohibitively expensive, and I had those drives anyway...)

And it's not like I'm not doing heavy stuff... my PC is both my workstation and battlestation. I use it to earn a living and entertain myself too.
After a certain level, any SSD will do fine for most people.
I think that only very specialized workloads like 4K/6K video scrubbing can really stress the storage subsystem to the level where NVMe solutions are noticeably faster than SATA.
For anything else, the differences are "academic".
