FN203 M.2 SATA SSD - SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 NGFF Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 550MB/s, Compatible with Ultrabooks, Tablet Computers and Mini PCs (256GB)

This SSD external drive is holding up well. Fast transfer rates and fast acquisition by the PC - Windows or Linux. Plenty of space - but it still amazes me how quickly these fill up. That's okay. Use it as an additional storage medium, as a backup device, or something to use for long-term storage. The price is right and it does the job!

I liked the low price of this drive, it had great speed and it's true to its capacity. I had no problem connecting it to the motherboard and it works as advertised. I'm happy that this SSD was compatible with the motherboard.

I've had no problems with the drive so far. If you've installed the hardware and can't see the device in file explorer, be sure to initialize the drive first in (Windows 11) System > Storage > Disks & volumes. I ran into this initially and thought I'd got the wrong hardware.

Gonna give it 4 stars only because a couple devices wouldn't detect this NVME so there's some incompatibility with certain devices (like the official PI Poe+ NVME hat) Works great in other devices so just buy with a bit of caution.

These FIFWOT FN203 M.2 SATA disc are super fast. I use them in all 3 of my business laptops & for a backups that take only 8 minutes for a complete backup compared to other brand disc that take over 90 minutes per complete backup. I have 4 other major brands of M.2 SATA disc that do not even come close to these in speed & performance. I just think these are the best at what they are & do. I do not know how long these may last, but I hope for a long time, only time will tell.

This is excellent if you want it to save docs and videos. I used it as a secondary drive in my Mac computer and is great. I would definitely not use it for gaming as the speed is too slow, but for everything else, I'd definitely recommend it.

When looking to upgrade an old Lenovo Ideapad with a built-in 32GB storage it required an older technology M.2. The M/.2 would not accept the current NVME so I chose this and the 1TB NAND / NGFF fir perfectly and allowed me to replace the onboard storage with this as the primary device. I was unable to add this as a logical extension to the existing HDD, but that's a lenovo fault for soldering memory to the board instead of making it modular.With this unit installed, we are now able to boot from a 1 TB drive and able to install Windows updates that were required simply to operate the machine. by using this NAND M.2, it is breathing new life into a machine that had become unusable and out of the most basic storage capabilities.BOTTOM LINE: If you need an older NGFF to upgrade an older laptop - this has proven to be a great solution.Reviewed:Fikwot FN203 1TB M.2 SATA SSD - SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 NGFF Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 550MB/s, Compatible with Ultrabooks, Tablet Computers and Mini PCs
