I recently bought a ThinkPad P70 (it has two m.2 nvme ports.) I have a 960 EVO, decided to order the WD Black 250G nvme for Windoze so they have their separate space. The WD Black is supposed to be slower than the EVO but I don't use Windows all that often anymore. The price was quite a bit cheaper than the EVO. I did install the EVO and the kernel I compiled already had support, so I didn't have to do anything special. It did see it no problem, I think I went to partition it but stopped - I am still waiting for the other one to arrive so I can reconfigure my laptop and fiddle with them a bit. Dan
