Nope. Teardown shows it's an integrated USB controller board with memory embedded, not an M.2 NVMe.

I think this is a great deal and reviews look good so ordered one. Why isnt this getting more traction? Is there something wrong with the drive? I ordered one - too good to pass.

Routine reminder that most USB4 laptops, including all USB4 Mac and iPad... Lack USB 3.2 Gen2x2.

As such they will throttle to 10 Gbps.

If you have USB4, you want a USB4 SSD. And you get PCIe timing and NVMe.

Good routine reminder.

It's a sad scenario on all drive purchases these days, but this seems like a solid deal for those in need.

Not the fastest ssd out there, but for most purposes....

(deleted by me). The AI scam has caused NVMe's prices to skyrocket, so I will stop here, instead of LONG RANT.

It's a long shot but is it shuckable?

It's not only overpriced but doesn't have dram. Lowend model . Useless.

I have a Dell Vostro desktop pc with usb 3.2 gen 1 ports.

The reviews for the 2TB model look good on Amazon.

Would the one here be a good deal for me, or should I wait?
I just would like a faster to do my monthly backup vs my portable HDD

I have not kept up with tech for a few years.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Knowing the prices will tighten up more on drives, and I want to get a decent sized small backup drive, this will be helpful.
Trust me - I hate the price increases on drives. But until this AI bubble bursts (maybe 3Q of next year for a short time), there is a huge shortage of all storage - both HDD (52 week lead time) and SSD. Even flash drives are climbing.
