In 2016 I bought a 512gb 950pro for £200, not only is it still my boot drive it still has the same windows 10 installation, even though it's on a completely different motherboard.
Since that new motherboard has three more M.2 slots than the 2016 platform, I just picked up one of the 970 evos in the OP for £43. It can fill in for my current SATA SSD steam cache, which can in turn take the place of my one remaining HDD and I'll be free of spinning iron.
Although... Now I look at it, the 2tb version is less than twice the price...
Oh, and that 2tb of iron was £87 over ten years ago
