Review: Excellent M.2 SATA drive - I've been using this in an Asus CN62 Chromebox running Windows 10. This is one of the few M.2 2242 SATA SSDs available (most are the superior NVMe type) and none of the big brands (Samsung, Crucial, etc) make them. So far (3 months in) it's been working very well, with typical fast SSD performance, although the machine isn't doing anything too taxing. If you need a SATA M.2 42mm drive, this is a great choice, from a reputable brand. Update: This has been running for over a year and a half now. It is in a low usage machine but is on 24/7. The drive was running very hot (60-70 C), but this is within the manufacturers limits (75 C) and it has had no ill effects yet. I purchased a small metal heatsink on ebay a few months ago, and with this fitted it's running at 50-58 C. Update (2023): This has just been semi-retired as I've replaced the system it was in with a newer one. The drive has been running at 50-70C for 4 years and has 37,615 hours of uptime. Crystal disk info reports health at 98% due to 5.3 TB reads and 7.6 TB writes (3.8 TB NAND writes) with all erase/error counts at 100% health. Would definitely buy Transcend again, this has outlasted some Crucials and Samsungs for me!
Review: Performance feels similar to 860EVO (500GB) - High performance drive. I've had this installed for three months and it is going strong. It reads photos fast when scrolling through file explorer (extra large thumbnails) and when using the image viewer it loads incredibly well. My laptop boots in seconds. It's an Acer (c720-2844 4gb) Chromebook conversion, running win 10. Now I have a lightweight powerhouse with big battery life!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it compatible with a asus chromebook flip c101**
A: Yes, this will replace the stock SSD which comes installed in your Chromebook. Make sure you have a full PC or a Macbook in order to create a Chrome recovery drive on a USB stick. You could also clone the boot drive, too. The point is, you need an OS on your replacement SSD. Otherwise your Chromebook won't function.

**Q: Will this work on dell latitude 5480 wwan slot?**
A: Yes, the dell latitude 5480 will support an M.2 SSD in that slot.

**Q: Is this a nggf ssd?**
A: "Next-Gen-Form-Factor" (vintage phase like "information superhighway") outline, yes. Many of those, keyed differently by function. This on is an SSD card. This is AHCI protocol, connected by Serial-ATA, so it has the notch cut at "B key".

**Q: Is this compatible with hp elitebook folio 9480m?**
A: Not internally, you can get an external USB drive housing for it though.
