I will use for gaming, so largest file would be 60gb. Will this drive slow down after I fill it up to 700gb of games? I have 20mbps internet

It isn't a significant upgrade going from sata ssd to nvme unless you often edit big videos. The 660p is slow when writing data in its native QLC mode so it begins by writing in SLC-cache mode. Once this cache runs out it's then as slow as a hard drive and as the drive fills up it will reach that limit ever more quickly and then you will regret it. It's better just to get a premium SATA SSD like a Western Digital Blue or Samsung 860 EVO. One 660p user: "I got the 1tb 660p and i am not happy with it. slc cache is way smaller than advertised. My drive is around 50% full and after ~10-11gb write boom 100mb/s." Another: "I own a 1TB 660P. I do not like the SLOW sequential writes. I find the Adata SX8200 PRO a great middle ground. It is very nearly as fast as a Sammy NVME ssd." Another: "DO NOT BUY THIS SSD in my opinion. Id say Im your typical PC user and Ive bought it brand new a month ago and sold it now after a month. It was 1TB version. Your PC will feel fast, however you will face its limitations once in a while and they are extremely annoying. I had just built a brand new PC and had to copy some big files more than once, so I encountered these problems too many times. Its sustained writes are unaceptepbly slow! Whenever you'll need to transfer bigger files, games etc. its speed drops to 100MB/s. In theory the speed drops depending how full it is, but you are buying 1TB so that you could use it and not for keeping half of it empty so it would work fast. I dont know if it is because of drivers or because of the technology but I believe it may be a little more complicated than just keeping some free space in it. Its sustained writes speed could be low in my experience even when its almost empty. I had the pleasure of formating this 1TB SSD at 100MB/s before selling it, so I know. And I tried formating piece by piece and other methods. From my experience it gets slow when you use it a lot and not necessarily when it is getting more full. Probably both of these things affect the speed. You can clear the cache in Intel software but it often helped only temporarily and 10GB into copying you get 100MB/s again." "Not the fastest, but bang for the buck except when it comes to thermals. It runs so hot I had to pull it from my work station. So be advised, if you use this chip it could even double the temperature of your system board." Mr Intel, what is a 5-year warranty? Zero years, sir, and that's a cast-iron fist-pumpin' guarantee.

I would like to build a Linux machine. What motherboards are compatiable wih this drive?

Please check the manual of your computer. For example, I use a computer HP Elitebook 850 G3, I read the manual from HP, it can support NVMe PCIe drives - [M.2 (2280) 256 GB PCIe-3×4 SS NVMe]. So I bought this disk and it has worked well. I have installed with Fedora 30 Linux and MS Windows 10 Pro.
