I have a Dell Latitude E6540 laptop from 2013. This is a 'thick and heavy' monster as opposed to the 'thin and light' machines that are currently in fashion. Dell never advertised it but you can stick an mSata SSD into the WLAN slot on this machine and the computer will recognize it as an ssd. So I now have this SSD running Ubuntu Linux 22.04 as my main OS. It's been running for about two months so far without any problems. The normal SSD or hard drive bay can boot Ubuntu 20.04 and the removable DVD drive interface can be used to access a SATA ssd or hard drive with data. or play a DVD

Took install of Ubuntu quite easily and quickly. Boot time went from 1 min to 10 seconds. My I5 gen 7 laptop had a mechanical drive.


Fits wonderfully in my Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced Mini ITX PC Supports SSDs Cheap Not ugly on the eyes


Solid performance for value




The drive is fast. Even a year later and 90% filled when running speed tests I get around 7148mb read 6650mb write speeds. In my legion go it stays much cooler than the stock drive and have had nothing but good experience with it.

Fast Backups using with Time machine

Cheap small gut I put it in a caddy and I am using it as a USB drive for my phone for travel using OTG storage, It works perfectly and is fast enough for streaming media. Transfer from the computer is easy so it has made a nice little drive for very little money!

B + M Keying, 1TB at a great price. Dead simple to use. Don't know much about the manufacturer but their product works as advertised. Photos: #1: shows stacking of hardware and USB bridge. The bottom board is the 862 and holds the 2280 drive. #2: No SD card though not easy to see - because it's booting off of the 1TB 2280!!!! #3: Mounting of this drive hardware. #4: The nifty little USB 3.x hub that is nearly same size as the Pi - that hub is worth the buy for sure (New Egg p/n in the overall review)

Works as expected. Actually read speeds are slightly quicker that expected.

-least expensive latest gen NVMe SSD; almost same price as PCIe 3.0 models -plug-and-play -works as advertised

- Working exceptionally better than expected - Amazing customer service - Relatively easy to set up - Worth the money


Loads into windows under 10 seconds Quick speeds

Works well.
