    I thought I would post some info on my M600 256GB in case other users wanted a end user experience with this drive. I like it very much, 7.9 on Windows experience index (as expected). Also did a crystaldisk bench and a userbenchmark, took a screenshot and attached to this post. Not bad I think, for a 87$ drive. Seems to beat the 850 Pro end user scores on deep queue 4k only, but of course, results will vary.

    +1. M600 is definitely on my shopping list, but have to get a couple of other things out of the way before I get to the system that will host it...

    Am I missing something or is there a reason one would get M600 over MX200 considering they're identical? Is M600 cheaper than MX200 or something?

    No factory overprovision (256GB vs 250GB), available on the eBay market for about 20$ cheaper on average, so why not?

    Even 256GB has factory provision of 7%. It's the whole GiB vs GB conversion. It's really 256,000,000,000 bytes not 274877906944 in binary so that difference ~ 7%.

    I figured that would be it.
