SSD SATA M.2 2242 500GB Dogfish Ngff Internal Solid State Drive High Performance Hard Drive for Desktop Laptop SATA III 6Gb/s (500GB, M.2-2242)

Wow, easy to install, perfect for expanding storage on this 10.1" windows tablet. Followed the Fusion5 user manual instructions. Now I can store my own files and use the cloud for backup, not the only source for storage. Lovin' it! Go for it! No comments on longevity for now; just got it today. It is wise to backup regardless how reliable the drive. (I once unintentionally dropped a tablet in a creek; couldn't save anything from it. Thankfully everything important was backed up to a cloud service.)

Performs well, no issues, and reasonable price.

Added this for a laptop. Works great.

Bought an inexpensive Evolve III laptop. Added this SSD to dual boot into Linux for some tethered photography and ham radio software. This is a perfect addition to any laptop with an M.2 slot such as is found in the Evolve III laptops.

Easy to install. I use Linux distro so installs are always easy for me. Overall product looks great and shipped fast.

I installed this into my Lenovo Thinkpad workstation class laptop, installed Ubuntu Budgie Linux with encrypted ZFS and started to put data on it. The laptop hung 1-2 times and I rebooted, but hoped that it was not a sign... I should have listened to my gut.2 days after installation, the laptop hung and I rebooted again. It came up to GRUB and hung, waiting for the drive to appear. It gave a detection error on another boot that I cannot remember (POST message from BIOS).Because I had a virtual machine file on it that was temporarily ONLY on this drive, I tried it in my other M.2 slot and it did the same thing. It detected in the BIOS originally as "Dogfish 2TB" if I recall correctly. Now, it detected as "SM2259AB-10-00811000". I put this same stick into my desktop PC with an mSATA adapter and it detected the same way, but this gave more detail - it was a 1.0 GB disk now!I requested a replacement from Amazon and received one yesterday, installed Linux on to it - or at least TRIED to... at about 95% into the installation, it hung. As I expanded the installation window to see the terminal output, I saw "Error sending ATA command..." on device sda. Thinking that this might be my USB stick (ok, hopeful thinking) I re-created a boot stick with the same ISO on it... I got to the point of starting to partition, and it told me there was not enough space to install Ubuntu!So, I checked... and this drive is now detecting as "SM2259AB-10-00811000" as well!! Another 2TB drive magically converted to a 1GB drive. All of this happened while the laptop was fully assembled with the back cover on and sitting securely on a table for installation. I cannot think of any possible way that I damaged these units.I will not be buying another Dogfish.

A great fit for the Evolve III laptop!

This was to replace a dead drive in my firewall. It works great.
