How about this one?

Absolutely don't recommend the P1 unless you really need to save money as it is a QLC drive. These drives have poor random speeds which decline as you fill them up. However, more importantly, the endurance is quite less compared to TLC drives.

WD Blue SN550 is any day better compared to the P1 and is cheaper too in some cases.

Little confused here, isnt this one M.2?

M.2 is the connector which is the same in both cases. The best comparison is actually between SATA and PCI Express as bus interfaces since PCI Express has significantly more bandwidth than SATA and makes the most difference in terms of speed. At the same time, NVMe is a protocol developed specifically for SSD to interact with the PCI Express bus and has a lot less overhead than the SATA protocol developed mainly for hard disks.

Thanks for the explanation. by the way aren't NVME and M.2 different slots and its possible that NVME drives might not be compatible with old m.2 slot motherboards? I wonder if my asrock x99e will take newer nvme drives.
 
Tbf, it also depends upon your use case. I am buying a pretty bottom tier Barracuda 960gb SATA SSD (saying buying because Amazon has bungled my order twice sending 480gb once and 240gb the other time, but I am tenacious and am going to keep pestering them till they get me the thing), but it is only going to be used as a game dump. I don't care much about super high read and write speeds, nor do I care if the drive fails unexpectedly as I can just download the games again!

If it is this board, then you are okay with buying a NVMe drive as the M.2 connector supports both apparently.

Acer Nitro XV272U 1440p 144Hz 400nits IPS monitor for 21k. A very good price as far as this category of monitors go, only concern is the poor QC. Still worth a gamble imo, can always get it replaced if there's any issues

Price has dropped to 19k. I just cancelled at 21K and reordered for 19K. Thankfully it was not delivered yet

Damn. I have ordered a 21.5" VA 1080p75hz monitor at 7.05k which is due for delivery today, now I'm thinking of refusing delivery and going for this at 19k. It's almost too good to not go for it at this price.

Any idea if something similar applies for flipkart?

Never tried with fk, they are pretty crappy just like the corner grocery wala.

I have never needed to return stuff on amzn more than once tbh, this was told to me y their executive last month but the rider he added was coz i have been a longtime prime member and my track record is impeccable hence this will be fine for you, although they took my item back for a refund on the first attempt itself.
