$150 for 500GB. o.O According to AT the 1 TB version of the SN850 is $230 and the 2 TB is $450. With memory prices steadily falling and no meaningful performance improvement over SATA, let alone PCIe3 drives, this is pretty much exactly twice as much as I'm willing to pay. OTOH WD is competing directly with Samsung here, when it comes to being detached from reality that is. :P

But on most motherboards won't you drop your other x16 slot to x8? If RTX IO is anything to go by this is not a great buy if you start dropping your PCIe v3 lanes on new graphics cards.
