Best PCIe 3.0 Intel SSDs
PCIe 3.0Intel
There are 10 PCIe 3.0 Intel SSDs in our database — each linked via an Amazon search on its part number. The fastest is the Intel INTEL® SSD 670P SERIES at 3500 MB/s read, and the highest-rated for endurance is the Intel INTEL® OPTANE™ 905P (27370 TBW). Sequential reads across the group span 1450–3500 MB/s.
Why this configuration
A PCIe 3.0 Intel SSD is an affordable NVMe step up from SATA. Gen3 is roughly six times SATA's throughput yet often costs little more, making it the easy default for a first NVMe drive or a laptop that only supports Gen3. Intel specifically tends to be chosen here for its firmware track record and warranty support.
Usually chosen for: budget builders, laptop upgraders and anyone leaving SATA behind.
Good fit: mainstream desktop and laptop builds.

Common questions
How do the links to Amazon work here?
0 of the 10 drives listed have a direct product link; for the rest we link an Amazon search on the manufacturer part number, which lands on the right listing. We deliberately don't display stock or prices on this page — check both on Amazon, they change constantly.
