Hello, dear forum mates
I have a question about m.2 NVME SSD`s list cause i see for example Kingston listed as supported 240 and 960 GB versions but not 480GB.
More specific: after 3 Samsung EVO 850/860 250 GB, and 2 Pro 250GB failure, i`ve decided next SSD to be 500GB version not Samsung, and NVME M.2 if it`s possible.
My current config is:
Asrock Z170 Extreme 4 https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Extreme4/
Intel 6700 NON K
32 GB RAM
Nvidia GT1070 Gaming X
Can i use one of following SSD, which i have access to, as a OS/Boot ones:
1. SKC2000M8/500G Kingston 500GB KC2000 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD up to 3,000/2,000MB/s EAN: 740617293647
2. SA2000M8/500G KINGSTON A2000 500G SSD, M.2 2280, NVMe, Read/Write: 2200 / 2000 MB/s, Random Read/Write IOPS 180K/200K
3. CT500P1SSD8 CRUCIAL P1 500GB SSD, M.2 2280, NVMe, Read/Write: 1900 / 950 MB/s, Random Read/Write IOPS 90K/220K
4. SSDPEKNW512G8X1 Intel SSD 660p Series (512GB, M.2 80mm PCIe 3.0 x4, 3D2, QLC) Retail Box Single Pack
Mostly of all i`m interested in second and third position mostly because of the cost. Thanks in front for any help.
Sincerely Alex.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I`ve spend the day checking reviews and etc. about intel 660p, and i still have thoughts.
Can you tell me is this link reliable from crucial official web page:
https://www.crucial.in/ind/en/z170-extreme4-/CT13073025
According them this ssd CT500P1SSD8 CRUCIAL P1 500GB SSD, M.2 2280, NVME, Read/Write: 1900 / 950 MB/s, Random Read/Write IOPS 90K/220K is suitable.
And sorry i know what you said in your post still prefer better NVME SSD for my boot/OS drive.
And still have the question about new Kingston consumer series SA2000M8/500G KINGSTON A2000 500G SSD, M.2 2280, NVMe, Read/Write: 2200 / 2000 MB/s, Random Read/Write IOPS 180K/200K is it possible someone tested it ...
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
Sincerely Hakki

Dear Alex,
Due to we don?™t have SA2000M8 and A2000 at our lab, may not test for you.
According to Crucial web page, P1 also compatible with Z170 Extreme4.
Thank you!
Yours truly,
ASRock TSD
