Great upgrade!
Used this to repurpose an old 30 GB IPod now I have an IPod that's 256 GB with endless options for music and movies works well.

Didn't fit into my Dell's WWAN slot because it's not flat bottomed
I was hoping to add a second SSD to my Dell Latitude 7390 2-in-1 but unfortunately it would not plug in because the bottom of this SSD has components and is not flat. So the SSD doesn't slide into the slot. The description nor the pictures show it not being flat. I saw some 42mm NVMe SSD's for around $80 that seem like they're flat, but unfortunately cost twice as much. Then it would probably be cheaper just to upgrade my existing 256GB SSD to a 512GB SSD for less.

Used it in a Minisforum PC
Tossed this into a little Minisforum micro PC that I'm using as an Ubuntu server for DNS, controlling my wifi access points, and a RustDesk server. I can't attest to how well this would work in a more write intensive environment - all of my logging is to memory and only written once a day. This drive hasn't caused me any problems thus far though.

Died after 7 months in a Lenovo ThinkPad X270.
What can I say? I installed it in the SATA radio slot to serve as my Lenovo ThinkPad X270's main SSD. Installed it on August 30, 2021, and my ThinkPad failed to boot past the Lenovo logo on March 17, 2022. I tried several different methods to get past the logo, but I also knew that Lenovos can be finicky about drives that fail...drive fails and you can't even get to the BIOS screen. I removed the main battery, removed the KingShark card, and tried to boot again. I immediately got to the BIOS screen. I know this SSD is supposed to have a four-year warranty, but I'm not going to go through a bunch of hassle for $40. I just ordered a Transcend unit to replace it. UPDATE: I borrowed an external reader and the unit was not recognized at all on two other computers. It seems completely inert now. Fortunately, I had imaged it a couple weeks prior and was able to restore virtually everything to the new Transcend unit, which is working perfectly.

Performance appears to be good.
Just installed so I have not been able to evaluate longevity. Also, the head of the included screw was not really large enough in the PC that I installed the M.2 in

Inexpensive upgrade
I purchased this for use in an HP Chromebox G1 J5N52UT, to replace the stock 16GB SSD. It installed easily and works great! Quick shipment, arrived on time.
