DogfishSSD SATA M.2 2242 120GB Ngff Internal Solid State Drive High Performance Hard Drive for Desktop Laptop SATA III 6Gb/s SSD (120GB, M.2-2242)

Bought this for a mining computer, and it works just fine. It’s not the fanciest SSD out there, but it does the job. Decent value for the price if you need something simple and functional.

I installed the hard-drive and the bios recognized it right away. Windows will recognize it, but then you have to create a partition using Disk Management. This was the step that I had to google. If you are rusty in your computer skills, make sure you know how to mount the drive in Windows, as it will not show up with a drive letter until you do this important step. This will prevent many returns. Reach out to support first if you have issues, as this drive does work.

I used this SSD drive to replace the failed, wore out, old, SATADOM in an older server platform. I was using the SATADOM as the boot drive for the server and after several years of use and OS changes to the SATADOM, it finally crashed. I was RESCUED by this SSD simply by using it to replace the old DOM with a SSD to run the OS for my TrueNAS drive array in the server. I reinstalled the OS, re-imported my config backup, and then was up and running again in minutes on new and better hardware than I had before. Excellent!

Got an old potato IBM thinkpad up and running worked liked it should.

This met the short form factor I needed for older Lenova Yoga laptops. It took some research and measurements to decide it might work, and I was pleased to find that it worked perfectly under Fedora Linux v34, both as a ext2 formatted drive and later as part of a btfs group. If you have the laptop taken apart for other service, this is a decent and inexpensive upgrade.

Used this to replace the cellular modem in an Evolve III Maestro. Because the slot was intended for a modem, not a SSD, it was B-keyed instead of M-keyed; this SSD is a dual B+M key and so it fits. Moreover, the Maestro doesn't do NVME; note that this is a SATA SSD, which is able to function in this laptop.Works fine, allows dual boot of Linux and the original Windows install on the soldered-in SSD.

Replaced a failed ssd in a mini Terryza computer. Very easy to install in the unit and mxLinux os. Worked very fast. Would recommend.

At first the laptop didn’t recognize the SSD. I talked with Amazon support who put me in contact via email with the vendor and they sent me procedure over night. It fixed my problem you couldn’t ask for better support. Highly recommend this vendor and this product.
