Should have ordered from *www.onlyssd.com/buy/crucial-mx500-2-5-250gb-sata-iii-3d-ssd-ct250mx500ssd1/ amazon prices are almost always more & many times the seller on amazon is one of the 4 big pc component shop sellers in India(primeabgb--onlyssd is their ssd selling division,mdcomputers,vedantcomputers,theitdepot). Better cancel it & order from onlyssd.
cancelled... but onlyssd does not have COD or POD....how reliable is this site?

Very reliable,in fact more reliable than many sellers on amazon/flipkart.Primeabgb is the official distributor of many pc component brands in India. For future reference save primeabgb(use https as using http may redirect to their sister site selling pre-built pc)/onlyssd,mdcomputers.in,vedantcomputers.com & theitdepot.com

Since they are one shop so obviously their IT capabilities are lacking so no sms etc but you should get your product within 3-4 days in any big/major city(their order status page also don't get refreshed so it may show order processing/shipped even a few hours after delivery to your address).

Only ssd is a branch of primeabgb. They have good customer support, I have ordered things worth around 1lakh from them and they have always given me a swift resolution whenever I needed to know status of my order.

i know primeabgb long before when i bought NZXT PHANTOM from MD COMPUTERS and regularly mailed Mr Gulbir Singh. But am not aware of their onlyssd part that has developed now. But with no communication from their end it is a little difficult to receive the product for me.....

i have regular connection with Palash & Randhir also. ITDEPOT os also in my bookmark since 2009.

What is "packing charge" taken by them?

You will get the product,as for packing charges its because they pack accordingly & if item is large/heavy/delicate then they will put multiple layers of packing.

which SSD is better PCIe, NVME, SATA ?
Depends on your usage & model.A good ssd like 860 evo is better than cheap NVMe ssd like adata SX6000 or kingston A1000 for overall system performance but if you are looking especially for sequential read/write speeds(important for video editing etc) then a cheap NVMe may be better than a good sata ssd. Also PCIe is not some separate ssd type,NVMe ssd are classified as pcie x2/x4 as they connect via pcie lanes(even if the slot is same m2). Currently intel 660p 512MB NVMe ssd sells for 5k at onlyssd which is a very good option.
UserBenchmark: Intel 660p NVMe PCIe M.2 vs Samsung 860 Evo
Only issue is long transfers(80GB plus in one go) can cause drive speed to drop to fast hdd levels. Intel SSD 660p review: Quad Level Cell (QLC/4-bit) NAND makes its debut

Ok. So PCI Gen3x4 NVME also uses same M.2 slot.
How is Adata ? Since onlyssd is flooded with lots of Adata SSD

Yes,M2 slot is physical standard,connection lanes standard is different.e.g.m2 with only sata lanes can support only m2 sata while m2 slot with pcie lanes can support m2 NVMe. Only good option from ADATA NVMe is SX8200 series which is much costlier compared to intel 660p. As for usual sata ssd,prefer samsung evo followed by crucial mx500 but nowdays when 512gb intel 660p is available for only 5k,it doesn't make much sense to recommend anything else unless budget is limited to ~3k(in which case one can get crucial MX500 250gb ssd).

OK, so the Intel 660p is recommended in NVME than Adata

Don't be so tensed.You should get it today or at most tomorrow.It is not like flipkart/amazon delivery is always good in all the places(I failed to get different delivery persons to bring a card swapping machine(for an offer) after coming 4 times in a week).
