So uh how do you cool your m.2 drives? I have a 500gb 960 evo on Asus maximus x hero, in the 1st m.2 slot between gpu and cpu. That doesn't seem to be a good place, temps are over 40 while idling and 60C while gaming.

You don't worry about it because those temperatures are not an issue.

Amazon has the MX300 in 2.5" 1TB for $235; tough to really say that an 850 is worth an extra $60 over that assuming you were looking at that capacity

Where did you find that out? Is that included under the SATAe header on the spec sheet?

e: is 1/2 speed nvme even faster than a normal sata drive?

2x of gen2 is 10Gbps, SATA is 6Gbps, so yes
