2 In One Laptop

M.2 very easy to install, 2TB great addition to laptop, its fast access

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as an additional drive since my laptop had 2 M.2 nvme slots. It has been exceeding my expectations for space, performance, etc. A major plus was its ease of installation and configuration in Windows 10.

SSD's make a laptop with a hard drive appear much faster. Some desktops and laptops are fitted with an M.2 SSD that is too small to be practical. Since SSD prices have come down so much over the years, upgrades are economical. When upgrading a laptop, you clone the existing drive onto the new M.2 SSD inserted in this enclosure and swap the two. Or you add the new M.2 SSD into a previously unoccupied slot. This enclosure makes it possible. And in the rare case the drive cloning did not succeed, nothing is lost. An essential part of your computer toolkit.

I have a recent Dell laptop that uses M.2 2230 SSD. The factory installed SSD didn't perform very well and didn't have the very good specifications for its price. I looked at the Sabrent Rocket 2230 and liked the much-improved specifications. It was worth the price. The laptop is noticeably faster in operation and seems to be more stable than it was with the factory SSD. I'd recommend the Sabrent to anyone looking to improve the performance of their device with a 2230 form factor SSD.

This is a good, no frills laptop. Dosen't come with a ton of storage, but it has ports for an M.2 and a SSD, which I've already utilized to add 2TB of storage. Plays high res games no issue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung’s 980 Pro is a PCIe 4 M.2 NVMe SSD. This is a high-end product; this is the fastest flash-based SSD I can purchase. From specification, the sequential read and write speed are 6900 Mbps / 5000 Mpbs. Though this quoted performance from Samsung is very exciting,, you will need a system which has PCIe 4 to reach this number. The installation is simple; you will a motherboard or laptop with a capable NVMe supported M.2 slot. You can need to remove laptop back cover; you will need to be careful about that. Samsung has also highlighted Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 technology which delivers 5 times the buffer size. That means under large workload will not decline the performance. This SSD is also built-in advanced thermal control solutions allow for the drive to perform well at cool temperatures. It is important for me, and I plan to use this SSD to build my AI training server system. Overall, this SSD is fastest SSD I can find from the market, and it has all-new Elpis controller, backwards-compatibility with PCIe 3.0, and NVMe 1.3 support. It is target for gaming user, but, it is also good for my AI training server.

Installed this as the master drive in a new entry level MSI gaming laptop that came with a 256MB M.2 SSD . I'm 60 years old and by no means a gamer. My games are flight simulators. And, being an old geek I prefer to see a hard drive in a box so to speak. The original M.2 drive is still in the laptop as a filing cabinet for my less used junk but I am very happy with the performance of this Crucial drive!

This laptop met all my requirements. I was even pleased to see an open slot for ram and M.2 which I easily added 16GB Crucial ram and 1TB Samsung M.2 SSD and are working great. I was a little disappointed to see that the available M.2 was missing the mounting screw which I had to take from another computer. Other than the missing mounting screw the memory upgrade was easy and smooth. Pros: Love the stable and accurate GPU and display, very nice keyboard, numeric keypad, quiet fans, sensible ports and built in SD reader. Cons: Missing M.2 set screw, and the speakers seem to vibrate against the housing at high volume.

I bought this over some of the no name ones as I was swapping M.2 NVME on my laptop XPS 13 I used macrium reflect and everything went fine. After all this I think I'll buy a 2TB to live in it! Good product from great seller.
