Nice little drive for WWAN ports on old-ish laptops
Just picked one of the NE-2242 256GB drives for a Dell E7470 WWAN port, and it worked just fine for an unsupported dual boot install of Win11 (and a not long for this world Win10). The E7470 is a nice, well built laptop only held back from Win11 because of the 6th gen processor, so adding this drive and giving it an unsupported install may give it an extended life. It can be used as a boot drive on this machine in this configuration. It is no speed demon, but it's faster than the stock SATA drive the laptop comes with and is just fine for day to day office use. The B+M keying combined with NVMe on this drive is relatively rare. There are other wonky solutions with adapters, but for only a few extra bucks over those solutions, this is the way to go to use on those often open B-Keyed WWAN ports. Do a few minutes of research on your specific laptop to make sure this will work, however, as capabilities and formats of the "WWAN" port are not standardized. I use the BIOS to switch between booting off the two drives. Other than some Bitlocker issues that were easily addressed, it's been just fine. If you have an E7470 and are pursuing this path, don't forget that there is a firmware upgrade to TPM 2.0 that is available on the Dell site that you should run before installing Win11. Updates: After doing some research, it looks like this drive is based on a Silicon Motion 2263XT controller, which is fine older tech (circa 2017/18) in line with its capabilities. The SM site says it supports x4, but that may not be implemented here. It is a DRAM-less drive, which works for low speed/low end applications, but it will never compete with more modern or with high end drives. Also, the LED on the E7470 doesn't seem to respond to drive usage--no surprise given the WWAN port usage.

Excellent NVMe drive!
This is installed in a workhorse Raspberry Pi5 setup and it has been flawlessly reliable. It was an excellent price and we would not hesitate to purchase another one. The read and write speeds are more than adequate and we've never experienced any issues. Even after hours of usage the drive does not overheat. Perfect for our application.

Great added tool
Simple install process it fit right on home now on window side at first it will check and add the total storege but you have to formated first so it can appear a quick web search and now it is up and running an Lenovo t470 on the wwan port for the money a decent upgrade now I have to keep testing for heat level but till now it's super fast. passing 20gb in second good speed at least for me and my use adds a nice storege drive.

Works great
Works great and fast; was easy to install on my t470. Finding a dual booter though is another question…. But not the fault of the card; a fault of the bios instead.

Good choice if you don’t need the fastest. #RaspberryPi5
I bought this for my raspberry pi 5 M.2 hat. It is not the fastest or newest but it is as fast as the raspberry pi can manage. I booted my Pi from it months ago and have continuous uptime since.

Great for T480
Works great out of the box so far on a T480 running ubuntu. If you’re new to computer repair/installation, do be aware of the orientation of the drive when being installed the red spec sticker should point down when installing the drive. This is different from some other drives you’ll see in t480 tutorials. If in doubt, count the pins to see if it aligns with what you expect. Also be sure to plug it in at an angle, it won’t go in straight in. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone stuck in the installation process.

Works great in ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 AMD Laptop WWAN Slot
Works great in the WWAN slot of my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 AMD laptop. Label with the specifications down, KingSpec brand label up. It isn't real fast as it's only 2x PCI but it's about twice as fast as a SATA SSD so it's good for data strorage and backups.

M.2 form factor 2242, key B+M, NVMe - it's working well so far
It is working well. Not many SSD cards around that are: M.2, and form factor 2242 (smallest, not large like 2280), and key B+M (not M alone), and NVMe (not SATA) .

Buen disco por su tamaño y precio, pero no el más veloz.
El disco es formato 2242, lo que es ideal para mi Thinkpad E14 Gen 3 con procesador AMD. Queda perfecto. Es importante mencionar que es Gen3x2 lo que limita un poco la velocidad, pero funciona muy bien para la aplicación ya que lo utilizo como disco de datos y funcionan muy bien los juegos.

Funktioniert problemlos
Habe damit meinen Dell latitude Laptop aufgerüstet. Einfach an Stelle der WWAN-Karte in die PCIe-Schnittstelle und die SSD wurde problemlos erkannt. Mit wenig Aufwand 1TB mehr Speicherplatz. Auch stimmt hier das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, wie ich finde. Kann sie empfehlen und würde sie auch erneut kaufen.
