## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work to back up (time machine etc) a 2020 Mac Mini?**
A: Not sure but it should do. It works perfectly well in my iMac.

**Q: Will this work for this pc: 4 cores 8th intel core i5-8259u 3.8ghz beelink mini pc windows 10 16gb ram 512gb nvme m.2 ssd sei8 micro pc**
A: Short answer: No.

You need to purchase the NVMe version of this drive.

**Q: Has anyone used this in a desktop/laptop? my 256gb samsung is filling up fast on my workhorse desktop and tempted to upgraded with a 1tb or 500gb. tia**
A: I have this installed on my desktop. Primarily for quietness against the noisy hard drives, I still use the hard drives for some data needs. I have had the 500gb version since March, split into system and data. System is still less than half full, even though things like Office 365 reside in there. However, it is the cost that should make you purchase this. Incidentally, never had an issue since installation and the computer remains on, for no real reason.

**Q: Does this fit macbook pro mid 2012?**
A: Yes it does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2TB NAS rated m2 SSD

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile SSD for NAS
*by M***N on 23 September 2025*

Had to replace a failed seagate rotational HDD in a 4 disk NAS but wanted to increase reliability after repeated disk failures. I was concerned that mixing the SSD replacement would be a problem with the RAID array. I needn’t have worried as the new drive was quickly installed, straight in to the disk carrier and quietly and quickly rebuilt the array - saving precious data in the process. It should massively improve durability of the array and remaining disks will be updated to these as they fail so the whole array will be more resilient.
