OEM Samsun PM9B1 256GB M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD Internal Solid State Drive 30mm 2230 Form Factor M Key Steam Deck

Just like title said, everything worked perfectly fine!! 30$ for the drive 15$-ish for the hat and 20$ for the entire enclosure and off to the races with a super fast raspberry pi 5 8gb!! Confirmed the drive was brand new and had no previous writes on it, formatted easily, uploaded Linux OS for my pi with my small Keychain 2230 enclosure, hooked it up to the pi hat and installed it all in the case with 2 fans, and bam! Mini pc that's perfectly suitable for surfing the web, light coding/scripts, kali Linux pentesting with it and my flipper zero.. storage capacity was right and the boot time is incredible!!Before putting in the pi, with my semi-cheap 2230 enclosure I saw speeds around 1500+read and 1000+ write but with a better enclosure I'm sure those go up!

For that price can’t be beat

Ppl buy these bulk-bagged modules "OEM" not sure if it's compatible, then here they are around -50% off. I grab those, to make $35 total for free shipping. Likewise, SK, Konoxia(Toshiba) are good too.

Works great. Followed the HAT's instructions. Flashed RPi 5 64-bit bookworm desktop to drive and modified boot order. And viola! Raised the overall performance of the Raspberry Pi 5 significantly. I use it for YouTube, light LibreOffice work, and programming in VS Code with Python 3.12.5 (compiled from source). I am running a local open source LLM on it. It fits perfectly in the Geekworm PCIe Metal Case P579-V2 for Raspberry Pi 5 with a NVMe HAT and M.2 SSD. If you haven't tried adding an SSD NVMe or a SATA III drive to an RPi 4 or 5, you don't know what you are missing. The difference is profound. For about $35 for this 256GB NVMe and $15 for the HAT I turned my Pi 5 into a computer I can use for everyday use.

Very fast, very inexpensive. I haven't had any problems in the month that I've been using it

The reviews on this battery were mixed but I took a chance. Seems to work OK. Came raw, no partitioning or formatting. Supposed to be Samsung chip but unable to verify. Used it in a portable drive. Cost effective. So far no complaints...

Not really sure about this seller or their products. The first package arrived and the chip was missing (meaning the chip was not in the shipping package that was delivered). I called Amazon and they sent out a replacement chip chip for next day delivery at no extra cost. The chip arrives and I am glad because I need to clone my drive in order to make a backup image. I put the chip into the SSD enclosure, plug it into my PC and nothing. At first I thought I had not pushed the chip into its slot so I disconnect and reseat the chip. I plug it back in and nothing again. I'm thinking maybe the SSD enclosure went bad so I put a chip in it that I know is good and sure enough the PC detects it right away. So the chip I just bought for some reason is not being detected. Don't know what happened, so I'm not really sure about this seller or their products, not a positive experience.

I found these bits once I plugged it in. Mine was apparently taken from a Dell laptop.This is irritating, but mainly on a philosophical level. It's not _that_ used, and it was a good deal. If it passes my tests I'll keep it...
