Been after an m.2 ssd for my laptop for a while and saw this as a new-in item on scan, really ace deal considering the write/read speeds. M.2 SSDs are more expensive than the standard 2.5" ones, so be aware before voting cold.

As usual in m.2 threads, the OP was forgotten to mention the number #1 spec: the physical size.
This is 2280 so won't fit in a laptop with only 2242 or 2260.

Important to point out: this is SATA III 6Gb/s, 1.5 mm, Read 540MB/s, Write 520MB/s
If you're looking for M.2 PCIe (up to 2100MB/s read/1400MB/s write on Samsung 950 pro) look... well at the samsung 950 pro :wink:
Decent deal for anyone with an M.2 2280 SATA slot in their mobo or laptop
If Novatech still do their free delivery over £50 this could be around the same price after you add Scans delivery fees? Apologies if I'm wrong I don't have time to check :smiley: if it is I would be going with them over Scan personally.
EDIT: Looks like you will save about £2 at Scan and get next day delivery too, so maybe worth it.
this is a sata controller chucked on a m.2 interface, which is kinda pointless

Not really, m.2 natively supports sata 3. It's useful for devices that only have m.2 because it means you don't have to shell out double the price for an NVMe ssd with the same amount of storage.

The point of M.2 is that it supports both pcie and SATA for flexibility which is useful.

Sandisk Z400s Solid state drives specification
Heat added as its still a great SSD and you won't notice the small decrease in speed in use..
It's "slower" because Scan's speeds are wrong. They're showing specs for the X400, not the Z400s.
