Good price but not sure who would need it. It's a standard SSD speed M2 and anyone who has a slot for this will likely already have it filled with at least 256Gb. If using to upgrade an empty slot, most of those will be capable of PCIE speeds and so you'd be wasting the slot buying this. Given there is no speed improvement over a standard SSD, it's a bit of a niche purchase.

As far as I can tell the M.2 slot in that Dell does not support PCI-E (which is a crazy decision by Dell), so it seems like this type of SATA M.2 drive suits machines like that pretty well. You could install it and use it as a smaller boot/system drive and use your 1TB drive for other stuff.

Well I just got an inspiron 7559 with a 1tb sshd and my m.2 slot is free so I guess it's perfect for me? Or is that even a waste for me?

That's a good price - about the same as a 120GB Evo. I need to buy one of these to put in an Intel NUC so I can use the 2.5" slot for a 2TB conventional drive.
Nvme cards are so damn expensive & I'm not sure I would notice any difference in a HTPC.

The OP forgot the most important spec for laptop use: the size.
Anyway, this 80mm long, so form factor 2280. so there will be plenty of laptops and tablets which cannot fit this.

You can use one of these in laptops with an M.2 and 2.5" bay so you can use the 2.5" bay for a large capacity HDD like a 2TB Samsung spinpoint.

Sandforce aren't as bad as they used to be. If you treated the drive right and were extra cautious they didn't do any harm besides slow down compressed data transfer.

Still wouldn't touch them. I treated my SF drives right and they still panic locked. I've had Samsung, Intel and Marvell based drives and never had any failures, and yet with Sandforce it was a 100% failure rate.
