Last week we had people calling the Kingston NV2 utter garbage and that has a higher 640TBW on the 2TB model. It's nice that everyone is calmer now about endurance rating. Even the low 440TBW on the P3 Plus will still allow it to write 1TB of data every week for over eight years before it runs out of Endurance.
To kill this drive before the 5-year warranty runs out you would have to write 2TB of data every week for over four years but who does that? (edited)
This one hot because it's Gen4?
Get the NV2 for less...
Better still, buy a TLC NAND DRAM-less drive for less?

£2 more gets you a MUCH better TLC drive with DRAM (gen3)-

QIVYNSRY M.2 Heatsink NVME 2280 SSD Heat Sink Support Single Double Sided M2 SSD Cooling with Thermal Silicone Pads Cooler for Computer PC PS5 PCIE NVME or NGFF SATA M.2 SSD Installation, Black amzn.eu/d/7…YYN
Will this one work with a Thinkpad P15s Gen2 (Intel)?? Or is the one that mentions (Sammy 2Tb) a better and more importantly a viable, compatible option
Some spec stuff from the Lenovo website...
Storage 512GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe® x4 NVMe® Opal 2.0 - This is the current SSD and is almost full.
Storage Support One drive, up to 2TB M.2 2280 SSD
Storage Slot One M.2 2280 PCIe® 3.0 x4 slot
Other considerations would be a) does the M,2 slot in your thinkPad provide any cooling for the SSD, or is there enough space for a slim heatsink, also b) Is battery life important? because some of these NVMe drives consume more power than others.. Also, c) if the price difference between gen3.0 and a gen4.0 drive isn't too much, you may consider buying a gen4.0 drive if you think you may upgrade your laptop in a year or two to a model with Gen4.0 support, then your old SSD would start working twice as fast.
Hopefully that information didn't twist your melon!
You have a gen3 NVMe capable M.2 slot (and a lesser used U.2 slot) but as it's an older board you may have to go into the BIOS to make sure it's set up to boot from it (usually easy enough).
It may very well be plug and play, I'd advise updating the BIOS first anyway if you're not already on the latest one, get it here -

Manuals etc are here, not sure if they'll help but you never know -

I feel it’s just Sony being overly cautious. Would love to see some real world tests but never bothered digging deeper.
