KingSpec NT Seriese 128GB M.2 2242 SATA SSD,Sata3 6Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive, for Ultrabook & Laptop & Desktop

I used this little beauty to convert my old Acer C720 Chromebook to Linux Mint (Cinnamon). Works great and, I now have a ton of storage, especially compared to the 16GB that came with the C720. Great little drive at an outsanding price!

Absolute perfection, it worked and didn't light my laptop on fire.

I needed a somewhat large capacity NGFF drive for a upgrade limited Dell 3050 miniPC. There are not many 2242 NGFF M.2 SSD SATA drives out there to choose from and even fewer at 512GB capacity. This was half the cost of others I found and performance is excellent at this price point. I'm not sure the little Intel Celeron processor in the Dell 3050 miniPC would even take advantage of much faster. I highly recommend this and would definitely buy another if they are still available when/if needed.Update April 2019:I have purchase another one of these KingSpec 2242 NGFF 512GB M.2 SATA SSD drives as the first one works so well and performance is on par with other name brands I have purchased for a lot more money.I have two of these 512GB M.2 2242 SSD drives in an external M.2 sata raid enclosure and am amazed at the performance. KingSpec has definitely got me sold on their SSD products. If you are looking for a NGFF M.2 SATA drive as an upgrade or replacing a old SSD that is no longer functioning, you have got to give KingSpec a try. I am glad I found this product and anticipate purchasing more in the near future.Update June 5, 2020:Have purchased a few more of these since my April 2019 review update. I have to say that 2 of these SSD drives, in a internal dual M.2 sata drive enclosure running raid 0, on a older Gen3 i5 laptop has made me put off buying a new laptop for a couple more years. This is a laptop for working in a Win10, Office365, Internet, non-gaming environment. It keeps up with with my 8th Gen i5 Intel NUC mini PC where I really don’t see any difference! These are quality SSD drives with excellent performance. The first KingSpec 2242 NGFF 512GB SSDs I purchased still have a plenty of life in them and they are in a Dell E6430 laptop that runs 24/7. I have worked in IT for over 25 years and have gone through a lot of hardware in my days. I highly recommend these KingSpec SSD drives. Not a single issue with any of them yet while I have had SanDisk, Samsung, and G.Skill SSD drives wear out or flake out due to heat. I could not be happier, unless KingSpec wants to put these on sale for less! 😉

Worked perfectly, easy install.

Got 4 mini pc that were going to e-waste bin, decided to rescue them, all had 16GB storage and where 2240 size. These or the type that were compatible. They fit and work great. Speeds are great, design quality is very good, they produce very little heat, and the mini pc computer recognized the device on first boot, so I bought 4 and have no has any issues

Item works as advertised.

Quality of this SSD is awful, I bought 9, on different moments, 3 of them already failed and the 4th reporting problems. I've lost all my data. I use them as system disk for proxmox in Intel NUC 13, and suddenly Proxmox started to "freeze", eventually to fully fail the OS. After a *lot* of tests we realized that the problem is this SSD, the hard way after loosing the data. Changed SSD provider a no problems so far.Absolutely not recommended.

Initially, I was unable to format the memory, but it was unclear whether the issue was with the chip or the enclosure. I bought another USB enclosure. There was some debris on one of the memory pins, which I removed using rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. All went smoothly afterwards. I transferred my Windows 11 system using "Disk Genius". All was completed in about 15 minutes.
