sorted byOnly thing I can think is that it is 4 years old now and controllers have moved on a bit maybe?
(With that in mind and £55 being about the new standard low price for the last month, I would say stock is generally being shifted until it is no longer easily available.)
The cache is only 12GB which is low by more modern standards for your sequential writes. Often others are at up to 150GB before you get the drop off in speed. But even after the drop off with this drive it will consistently give reasonably good speeds and be less affected as the drive fills up compared to cheaper drives which sometimes drop to lower than SATA speeds after the cache is exhausted..
It is a quality drive, that is designed for heavier work loads and was top of its game when released. (edited)
i have 4 nvme's very close together and 3 have heatsinks on them except for this one and if im writing heavy amounts to it, it'll spike to 80 degrees
i thnk the most i've seen from it reading was 70 or so
you will see an approx 10 degree drop if you buy a heatsink for it, but bear in mind also that if temps are too low you run a greater risk of it dying, nand prefers to stay warm.
