Great drive
Capacity: 2TB

Installed in Legion Go using 2230 to 2242 adapter, works great

Good enough
Capacity: 2TB
Style: M.2 2230 Gen4 (with Heatsink)
I got this as an upgrade storage for my claw 7 Ai+ a2vm. It never ran hotter past 54c, that was the highest recorded on HWinfo. The res and write speed are decent as I felt the system responsive enough but I didn’t test them out to get solid numbers, however, I ran the 3DMark storage benchmark and that took about 28 minutes from start till end. The benchmark loops 3 sets of 7 tests back to back of loading, recording, installing, save and move games. I have attached the benchmark results from my claw 7 Ai+ a2vm here. I also would assume it will keep its cool temperatures if not better in the claw 8 Ai+ a2vm since the cooling is much better on that one, which is a possibility. The only thing I’m worried about with this ssd nvme is that I don’t know the brand, or ever have heard about it. I haven’t no clue how they will handle any RMAs or the reliability of this drive on the long run with normal use. I hope that I don’t have to face any of these issues, and if I do the manufacturing company honors their warranty.

Great storage for my Steam Deck
Capacity: 2TB
Style: M.2 2230 Gen4 (with Heatsink)
Added storage needed for my Steam Deck and heat sink prevents overheating. The quality is great and can play all of my games without speed or lagging issues. The price for it is not bad compared to the other ssd that cost over $300.

I wish I had the opportunity to actually test and see how it preformed but I purchased this in a pinch when the orginal ssd I bought was not delivered. From what little I saw it worked right away as a Toughbook hard drive replacement. Sold my toughbook online immediately with it installed so my accomplished goal gets it 5 stars

Perfect for my steam deck

Installed into my steam deck without a hiccup. Runs perfectly fine and now I enjoy having quite a bit more storage on my handheld.

Dato 1 tb 2230 and pi5 use
Capacity: 1TB
Style: M.2 2230 Gen4 (with Heatsink)
Unit did not work period. Installed in place of a working m.2 ssd. No joy. Replaced original m.2 ssd and original unit performed ok. Dato also did not work in one other location. Users of pi5 cap and ussb units attached in pi5 systems should apply caution.

It's larger on the inside!
Capacity: 1TB
Style: M.2 2230 Gen4 (with Heatsink)
This is a quite diminutive SSD, being a 2230 size, but that doesn't translate into a lack of capacity - it's got as much storage space as any M.2 SSD I've dealt with. In my testing using an external case, I got speeds of up to 831 MB/s, which, while much less than advertised, is close enough to the 10 Gbps theoretical maximum of the case I was using to feel comfortable blaming the case for the slowdown. There is no reason to think I wouldn't get much better speeds when installed properly directly on the motherboard. A temperature readout on the case I was using got to 43ºC during a sustained write test. One thing to note: the motherboard in my server supports 2280 or 22110 sized M.2 drives, so this unit is actually *too small* to fit in my server (at least without some sort of adaptor?). Just something to be aware of. Overall, if you are looking for fast, large storage in a small space - and your device can handle the smallest sized M.2 drives - this unit is well worth considering.
