P3 or WD Black SN770?

Does it come with mounting screws?

M.2 screws are usually supplied with the motherboard or laptop rather than the drive; check what you have before installing.

The P3 is the drive to buy when you need more NVMe capacity rather than the fastest NVMe capacity — a second M.2 stick for a games library, a project archive or a laptop that shipped with a small drive.

It installs the same way as any M.2 drive and delivers the load-time benefits NVMe is bought for. If the drive will hold the operating system on a gaming machine and you want the extra headroom, the WD Black SN770 is the performance-focused alternative.
