Pros
I've attempted to buy an nvme before and tried two Adata ones that were highly recommended due to speed and price but both the initial purchase and replacement refused to work in my B450 MSI motherboard despite updating the bios.
I figured the port was probably damaged and got a standard ssd instead but I recently started running out of room and figured I'd try again with a different, better brand. Ultimately I figured I could just return it if it didn't work and get another ssd.
It worked straight out of the box, no issues at all and no bios changes.
Since it worked, I decided to put my windows 10 on it and start again. I didn't think there would be much difference but regardless, its now my fastest drive so why not?
I've never been one for straight up numbers test and prefer real life values. Well.... My pc boots up faster (3.5 seconds vs 6 seconds) and I tested some notoriously long load games with it too. GTA 5 is much faster than ssd in particular, Forza 5 Horizon is also much faster.
Weirdly enough as well... League of Legends ping has gone down.... This obviously shouldn't happen off a hard drive but I've had a longstanding issue between my test ping being 18ms and my actual ping in game going all the way up to 45ms. It was annoying the hell out of me to the point I reinstalled my entire pc before to try and fix it after trying everything else and it still didn't help. Then I play on nvme and suddenly it's half the ping at 26ms... I don't get it. Drivers, installs etc all the same... Sure its not 18ms like it should be but its much better than it was.
In terms of heat, I don't know quite honestly. My motherboard has the nvme slot underneath my graphics card so it's hard to check but it does mean I can't get a heatsink on it.
Cons
I'm hopping mad because I got this to replace another crummy M2 drive with bad write speed, but this one was even worse. Installed it and it wouldn't show up on my BIOS at all. I tried three times to remount it hoping there was just some sort of user error, but after no luck I reinstalled the previous drive which immediately showed up in the BIOS. Don't know what's wrong with it, but it's completely kaput and I'm going to have to send it back.
