The problem I see is the WD Blue SN550 1TB is only $4 more, and blows the 660p out of the water, per TH.

And I have to say, as the owner of a 660p, it's not a bad drive, its only major flaw is that once the cache is full the write speed crashes hard, something the SN550 doesn't do, so I'd definitely spend $4 more on it.

I have a 1TB 660p.
$79 as a sale price is good, but not spectacular.
I got mine from Newegg, in June 2019, for $88...😉
