It's only PCI-E 3.0 x 4 but my son's 2nd m.2 mobo slot is PCI-E 3.0 anyway unlike the main one that is PCI-E 4.0 x 4 which is currently the boot drive and where the games are.

this is a SATA m.2 not PCIe

I know a few PCs (desktops and laptops) with Intel Skylake 6th gen Core CPUs that have M.2 SATA-only slots, while others have M.2 PCI-e/NVMe slots (or M.2 slot wired for both PCI-e and SATA), at least per their spec sheets or available data online. 7th gen Core and later systems pretty much switched over to M.2 PCi-e (or PCI-e + SATA) slots. Some low end mini PCs with two M.2 SSD slots have one M.2 PCI-e/NVMe and one M.2 SATA due to the CPU's lack of PCI-e lanes (Intel N100, for instance). Some HP and Wyse thin clients used M.2 SATA. Otherwise there's little point in getting M.2 SATA SSDs.
There are dirt cheap adapters that convert these M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5" SATA drives to plug into a standard SATA port (on a desktop motherboard, typically), so I guess these are a little more flexible than getting a 2.5" SATA SSD.
I do keep two M.2 SATA SSDs on hand for repairs and diagnostics of old and odd systems.

Yeah, I know. The link I provided is for the PCIe one.
I'm adding context because not all m.2 slots support both. If you have a SATA only (M+B) slot, you would need this type. If you have a PCIe (M) slot, yes, looking at an NVMe would make the most sense. I'm hoping whoever is considering this drive knows the distinction.

Otherwise, SLC isn't exactly DRAM. Nothing impressive here to be sure.
Good luck!
