NVME - Intel 660P vs Samsung 970 EVO Plus

I am thinking to buy one of the two NVMEs. 2TB version. Samsung more than twice the price.

 

I will use the NVME as unassigned device with VMs on it (using 100% of the disk space for the VM vdisk). VMs are Windows for gaming.

 

Curious whether I can save some money here or better to spend on the Samsung?

Thanks. I'd done some reading on QLC and wasn't clear whether this is an issue for my use case.

 

One issue seems to be that I am planning to use 100% of the NVME capacity (as vdisks will use 100%). I actually need this space. While I didn't fully understand what the issue is, it seems from my reading that QLC does not work well if full capacity used?

 

Dropping to 100MB/s shouldn't be an issue for my use case (largely for gaming), isn't it?
