Integral500GB M3+SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 R-5000MB/s W-2600MB/s TLC M2 Solid State Drive

Bought this for the legion Go as the “official” drives just aren’t available, at least for a decent price (and I don’t consider £350 for 2tb a decent price!!)At the time of buying this was £180 and another £6 for the adapter to make it fit in the Legion Go.Had this in for a few days now and it’s been a breeze. 1.9tb of space instead of 400gb with the original drive.This drive does seem to be higher performing as well with better read and write speed over the original.Cloning was an easy and so was installing it. Not encountered any issues or crashing thus far. Time will tell though as 3-4 weeks seems to be the questionable time. If you make it past that your golden. Thankfully it came from Amazon so any issues can be quickly resolvedAll told it was (thus far) worth the price, and I don’t expect any issues. I’ve also got a 1tb integral micro ssd in the Go to give me 3rb of space!

Unlike the Steamdeck and the Asus ROG Ally, the Lenovo Legion Go uses a slightly longer and more unusual 2242 SSD rather than the 2230 size the others use. It is possible to use a 2230 drive in the Legion Go with an extender but I preferred to use a 2242 drive as is however in the UK that's not easy with a very limited choice of 2TB 2242 drives.The Integral was about the only one I could find (Sabrent was the other) and although it's only a Gen3 drive I wasn't too bothered. It installed fine in the Legion Go, performance seems as good as I'd expect from an SSD and I've not had any heat issues with it either with the drive still running perfectly.

I purchased my Surface Pro 8 with its measly 256GB hard drive some time ago. At that time, it was not feasible to upgrade the drive as there were hardly any m2. 2230 SSDs available, and the one or two that could be found were extortionately expensive. Although still more expensive than SSDs with more widely used form factors, these are now more reasonably priced and affordable, and I accordingly decided to make the upgrade. Upon conducting some prior research on this subject, I was aghast to come across so many reports of heat problems, incompatibilities, malfunctions, etc. which obviously raised concerns about my proceeding with the upgrade. However, I did notice that all the reported issues related to Gen4 SSDs, and reasoned that Gen3 SSDs could conceivably be less likely to have compatibility issues. I therefore decided to take the plunge with the Gen3 version of this Integral SSD. This arrived the next day, and, in my impatience to get things going, I installed the new SSD just as it was, without the cradle that came with the original drive, nor with any thermal paste or pads, reasoning that I could always utilise these later if required. Replacement took less than 2 minutes. Installation of Windows 11 with a recovery drive took a bit longer, but everything proceeded remarkably smoothly without any issues whatsoever. I have now been using the Surface Pro almost constantly for three days since the upgrade, and am delighted to report that I have had no heat or malfunction issues whatsoever. This little Integral gem has been performing brilliantly, and the Surface Pro is no warmer than it was with the old drive. It would seem that Gen3 is the way to go for those wishing to upgrade older Surface Pros. Using a Gen3 SSD instead of Gen4 meant sacrificing some performance, but losing some speed which I doubt that I would even notice, is well worth the price to pay for hassle-free performance ... and I didn't even need to go back for thermal paste.

The media could not be loaded. Added this to an NVME hat on a Raspberry Pi 5.Recognised straight away, easy to install the Pi OS onto this (boot from a microSD first, then use Imager in Raspberry Pi OS to image onto this SSD, and change primary boot device to be the SSD).Boot time is really fast (see video). Everything runs quicker than I've ever seen on a Pi, so very happy with this SSD for about £23, from a manufacturer I've actually heard of.

Good drive works well but capacity is quite small for a 1tb drive with only 916gb compared to the Corsair in my Rog ally which has 964gb

Easy install and recognisers by windows nicely once assigned and formatted.Son says it seems very fast and as fast as the system SSD drive he already has.Note: no mounting screws come with this drive so check you have one in your motherboard already.This was an additional drive for us and not replacing the system drive.

This 256GB Integral M.2 NVMe drive is the best value I found for my Raspberry Pi 5. It's super fast, reliable (running 24/7 for weeks with no issues), and perfect for my home server needs. Highly recommend it if you're looking for an affordable, high-performance storage upgrade.

nabbed a refurbished Surface Laptop 3 and checked the disk it came with - it appeared healthy but was maxing out at 800MB/s read and 380MB/s write, and hitting temperatures of 72C which is really poor for an NVME disk. Swapped this in, restored the device with a recovery image in about 20 minutes, and its showing reads of nearly 3000MB/s and writes up to 2200MB/s. Laptop is now super quick, more storage and runs cooler. Brilliant.

È veramente veloce ( un po' meno come descritto) però anche in situazioni calde non ha mai superato i 30c.Purtroppo ho dovuto darlo in dietro perché nel PC non mio non aveva lo spazio ( ha un dissipatore vero in alluminio)Purtroppo ho avuto troppe spese , me l'ho sarei tenuto io😢

Realmente se nota la diferencia, lo recomiendo totalmente el pc tarda en encender nada. Ya no puedo volver a los ssd antiguos para el arranque.
