I know it's in the title and description but it's worth highlighting - this is a SATA M.2 drive, not an NVME drive! Will not work in NVME-only slots.
Actually, this is a B+M key, so it will physically work in either socket.

Most motherboards should address it with no problems, but you should definitely check your specific motherboard for support.

With that said, it's not going to be anywhere near as fast as a normal NGFF drive, as it will use the SATA bus.

Luckily, it's only 128GB, so I suspect people would only buy it for very limited use cases.
I run Home Assistant on an older SFF PC. It only supports M.2 SATA, and doesn't need much storage. SD cards and flash drive are often bottom of the barrel quality, and are not usually designed for constant read/writes of an OS.

I burned through several SD cards while running Home Assistant before I got wise and switched to an SSD. So, these are perfect for that.

You can buy better quality refurbished drives off eBay with double storage for about 14-15$ all day long. Toshiba nvme drive is a good one

Not that cheap unless you really need 128GB. It's just enough space for you to regret not getting a bigger drive in about 6 months time in most cases.

very slow, 500MB/s only
Thats because this is a SATA drive, not pcie nvme. Should only buy this if you need a cheap boot drive for an older motherboard that only has sata m.2 slots.

I suspect a pair of these would be good mirrored boot drives for the updated TrueNAS Scale server I am going to build.

Do I pull the trigger now and save $10-$20 or do I wait until I have my MB decided on? Get in on a slickdeal or wait until you are actually sure you need it? I almost always go for the former. :-)

All I can see when I hear Orico are the forums filled with posts complaining about failed drives within a few months. These drives are about $5 in Shezhen china for a reason.

If you get this drive, don't expect to install windows on it.

I installed Windows 10 Pro on a 120GB drive recently, strictly for troubleshooting an ailing PC. The drive was full before the updates completed.

I imagine Win LTSC might fare a little better.

Or Linux distros would probably be more reasonable.

*edit* Wow, you people are brutal.

If anyone has a hint on what I did wrong, I'd love to hear it, instead of just downvoting my personal experience that happened literally 2 weeks ago. It was just a straight install of Win 10 Pro on a 120GB SSD.
