i hadn't seen those.... that's not bad at all to be honest.

anyone know how the "unique “instant restore” function - after continuous ssd use, data transfer performance remains “new” despite being in a “dirty state”, overcoming the problem of slower performance after prolonged usage." performs? if these have some trick up their sleeve to avoid write magnification (which the blurb seems to hint at) due to dirty blocks they'd rapidly become the choice of drive for raid-0. considering a pair of these comes in at just over £200. 512gb of ~900mb read/600 write would actually be pretty hard to beat.

i can't seem to find much info on them though, only on the m3 which seems to be the "big brother" version.

hmmm:

That looks to cover it. The version being reviewed had prior use too so a little more "real world". While, yes, it holds it's speed fairly well, if i'm interpretting that correctly it's still not really anything to write home about... am I reading it right?
