MP 6,1 Macpro 2013 6,1 Internal SSD Upgrade 2020

Hey Guys I really need help to choose a new SSD nvme hard drive for my 6,1 Macpro. I saw on Amazon the EVO 970 1To at 189€ but also Sabrent Rocket 2TB for 299€. Is Sabrent as good as Evo 970 ? What SSD do you recommend for 6,1 Macpro ? and what Heatsink model should I buy ? thanks a lot !!

No one tried the Sabrent Rocket 2TB ?

Go for Samsung. I have the 970EVO 1tb in my 6.1 Macpro without heathsink for 1 year now.

Ok I'll do that, it would be cool to have a 2TB SSD instead of 1TB though . Here is the one I'm talking about:
Sabrent Rocket 2TB SSD

I upgraded my 6,1 with a 2TB Intel 660p SSD that I purchased from Micro Center for $199 USD. Performance has been great at around 1,300 MB/s. Comes with a 5yr warranty from Intel. Here are links to the 660p and the heatsink that I installed:

Today I installed the HP EX950 2TB SSD in my Trashcan Mac Pro.
I am in the process of benchmarking the speed, temp and boot times of the original Apple 256 GB SSD, OWC Aura 1TB, and the HP EX950.

I will post results in a new thread.
