I am currently using a number of these drives in HP z1 and z2 computers, and they work well: very fast. Newer models are now available that are even faster. I don't do gaming, so it really doesn't matter. However, NVMe drives are way faster than the earlier SSD drives like EVO 850 and 870. So if your computer allows NVMe drives, then that is the way to go. They are now price competitive.
