  235$ is actually really cheap for a 1TB high performance M2 drive, color me impressed.

  Agreed, also for the other capacities.

  And the endurance is really good too.

  Wow, higher throughput, more IOPS, and cheaper then the Samsung 970 EVO?
  
  (looking at the 1TB 970 vs. this Corsair 960GB)
  
  Seems super impressive to me.

  Real world will probably not top Samsung, as they are incredibly well balanced. But at these prices it doesn't have to, "pretty close but significantly cheaper" is certainly good enough.

  Yup... Its really hard to tell the difference in real world usage on drives with a much bigger gap than this.

  Will it be available in U.2 form as well?

  Unlikely. I haven't seen Phison showing much in the way of U.2 reference designs, and there really doesn't seem to be much demand or use for it on the client/consumer side.

  Too bad.
  U.2 makes much more sense for Desktop Computers as it should be much less thermal limited and should allow better performance due that.

  Interesting... the 2TB (ok 1920GB) model seems to be past the sweet spot for what the E12 controller can handle - at least at current NAND densities.

  when this will be available on amazon ?

  Not sure. However, I recently purchased it directly from Corsair's own website. They offered a 15% off coupon that I used to purchase the 2TB version for my laptop. Drive performs as advertised.
