Dogfish Msata 512GB Internal Solid State Drive Mini Sata SSD Disk Drive High Performance Hard Drive for Desktop Laptop Notebook (MSATA, 512GB)

Worked great in an old first-gen NUC

I bought this Dogfish 512GB SSD to replace the LITE-ON IT 256GB SSD originally installed in my Dell E7240. I had run out of storage space on the original LITE-ON IT 256GB SSD. I used the free version of Macrium's Reflect cloning software to move all the files, OS and software onto the new drive. The advantage of using Macrium Reflect is that you don't have to manually partition the new, larger drive. Macrium Reflect has an option (look for it) to maximize the usable available partition on the new, larger SSD (twice the size, in my case) automatically - all 512GB. Not all cloning software packages can do that, including the one I originally downloaded. I also ordered the ELUTENG mSATA to USB 3.0 Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VP2WH73?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details ) to connect the Dogfish 512GB SSD to a USB port on the Dell E7240, in order to create the clone of the installed LITE-ON IT 256GB SSD. Once the Macrium Reflect software created the cloned SSD, I opened up the laptop (easy - 2 screws), removed the LITE-ON IT 256GB SSD and replaced it with the new Dogfish 512GB SSD. Closed it all up and it booted up perfectly with the new SSD. Now twice the storage available, due to the upgrade. BTW, I then re-opened the laptop and installed the old LITE-ON IT 256GB SSD into the open WWAN slot on the opposite of the motherboard. I used one of the screws that came with the new drive/USB adapter to hold it in place in the WWAN slot. Closed up the laptop, re-booted and I now had an extra 256GB of storage from the old SSD available - showing up as two separate partitions/external drives. It all worked out to be an easy upgrade, using the above-described parts.

The price was great and so far the performance has been all I expected . Definitely would buy again .

Was delivered fast and packaged well. Installed in a few minutes and runs Windows 11 quite fast. I think it is faster than the 2.5 SSD I had in it. Definitely worth the money as it is New and Unused so it took Windows 11 less than ten minutes to fully run.

This card was purchased for the sole purpose of installation as an accelerator card in a Drobo 5N NAS device. The function is to enhance (improve) the data transfer rate to/from the NAS. It has to be in the mSATA form. I have no capability to format an unformatted card (there is at least one available here). I installed this card and my NAS instantly recognized it. This card has functioned perfectly 24x7 since it was first installed. I do not have the testing device to confirm the performance.I was unable to register this card with Dogfish. I wish to express my appreciation to Dogfish Customer Service for their professional response to my question. They affirmed their commitment to replace the card if it failed within the three year warranty period.It is my plan to purchase one additional card for my other NAS.

I had never heard of this brand, but I took a chance and I’m very satisfied. Product performed better than expected. Very fast read and write times. I will be purchasing again!

Easy to install, perfect fit. This was an unique, Dell XPS 12 (12 yrs old) SSD hard-drive replacement for the original 240GB drive that failed. Works great!

You need find a way to format it before your laptop can recognise it.
