Title: This M.2 2230 NVMe SSD is unlike most others; costs far too much for what it is
Post by: Redaktion on June 06, 2026, 18:24:00
An A/E-key M.2 slot, normally occupied with a combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card, is something most laptops, mini-PCs and desktop PCs released after 2013 have. This clever storage solution here lets you make use of that slot to add extra storage space, faster than any SATA III SSD. Naturally, there are several drawbacks to this approach.

This article completely misses the point. This is a unique product that is great for certain niches. Prior to that, you would have to get a funky M2 A+E adapter to NVMe adapter, if you even had room available. With this new drive, many niche use-cases are now opened. It's a great product that will probably be as reliable as any other SSDs.
