fischeleI could see this being useful in a build where there are two M.2 slots but only one is NVMe. There are a few boards like that. In that case though I'd much rather have a 1TB model for faster storage and a smaller NVMe for boot. SO yeah, this drop is pretty boring.
The specifications for random performance should be IOP/S, not MB/S, and appears similar to this for the 256 MB: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=234-0053-00001.
The math: 331 MB/S random read. 199 MB/S random write (theoretical maximum random performance).
Still good, but at $76 for the direct purchase price of a faster version (399 MB/S random read, 299 MB/S random write), this drop is not good at all unless you want the slower 128 MB version for roughly the same cost as the faster 256 MB one from NewEgg.
