Get the Intel SSD 670p Series 1TB for £58.84 (RRP £125)
The Intel 670p Series isn’t one that I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing, but Intel’s drives tend to be good quality for their price point and reviews suggest that this one is no exception. This drive uses QLC 3D NAND, which allows Intel to achieve very high capacities while using relatively few chips, a strategy that allows this 3500MB/s read and 3000MB/s write card to cost less than many SATA drives that are limited to 550MB/s. Random I/O isn’t competitive with higher-grade TLC NVMe SSDs, but it’s still decent at 220K IOPS for reads and 330K IOPS for writes. This drive uses the familiar M.2 form factor and the NVMe interface, so almost any laptop or desktop made in the last few years should be compatible with it. If you want to add this drive to an existing laptop or desktop, make sure you have a free M.2 NVMe slot, otherwise you’ll need to use a PCIe to M.2 adapter, replace an existing NVMe drive or connect this drive via an M.2 to USB adapter. Anyway, thanks for joining me and let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! We’ll see you again soon with another deal.
