Great. I bought my first WD NVMe 1TB over £100.
Is solidigm a reputable brand? I always look for Samsung, WD or Kingston

I think i've seen cheaper ones about that are 2TB already. But those tend to be QLC and/or DRAM-less drives. For storing just games i've no issue with those, but as a main OS drive or in frequent use i'd want something more robust, which is about £150+ still.

990 Pro 2TB is <£160, or was going by this morning's Google Now feed.
I would argue they are because it's mostly people from the old intel storage division(they know a thing or 2 about this stuff) and they are one of the only ones who actually makes a proper driver for their consumer drives. Wendell from levelonetech is very excited about it. I got both the p44 pro and the p41 plus and are very happy with the purchase.Is solidigm a reputable brand?

Great to see the old Intel guys on there, my Skulltrail SSD back in teh day far exceeded its rated spec and it was excellent. I would not say an SSD that has a dedicated driver is a selling point though. Windows has everything it needs out of the box to leverage NVMe bandwidth, it's all down to application and game devs to implement the technologies on offer, and all of these are possible without special drivers as it's a part of the OS.

I just purchased the intel/solidigm 670p 2tb for £80. That's cheaper than my current wd blue 3d nand 2tb m.2 sata ssd is new right now. even though the 670p only has 740tbw on the nand that still better than my wd blue at 600tbw. That's a win for the price 
Got a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB last week for £76, only a Gen3 drive but it has TLC NAND.Do you guys think NVME 2TB drive price will drop more? I mean will it come under £100 price mark
You mean ordered? Still a while to be delivered from abroad!

£89 last week for Netac NVME 2TB 7K SLC with cache is the cheapest I have seen for a gen4 with DRAM and heatsink

Agree. I'm using samsung 980 pro 2TB as boot drive and WD 850 1TB for storage.
That's a awesome drive. faster than Samsung 980 pro. But don't forget to do firmware update. Mostly that bug is already fixed. Who know really
Is it NVMe or SSD. I have crucial mx500 4tb and it's awesome.
Great I will watch this video.
That is funny. I guess Mechanical HDDs will be end soon.
What is the read write speed of this?I just purchased the intel/solidigm 670p 2tb for £80. That's cheaper than my current wd blue 3d nand 2tb m.2 sata ssd is new right now. even though the 670p only has 740tbw on the nand that still better than my wd blue at 600tbw. That's a win for the price

A little slow on the 4k but still the lowest not on sale 2tb nvme i have seen so far. I think the price maybe due to SK Hynix acquisition of intel SSD and forming Solidigm. They maybe trying to sell the left over intel SSD's to make way for Solidigm.

I would go with SN850x instead but SN770 isn't a bad deal if you can get it under £90.
