I have a Dell 7320 Detachable and the Kioxia Drive in it is painfully slow 1,900 Read 900 Write. So looked around for replacement. (These drives fit Steam Deck and also MS Surface devices BUT please double check)
I looked at Samsung PN991a which is rubbish speed wise.
Then Found this WD SN740 please be CAREFULL and don't order the SN530 which is slower.
This drive from WD website claim 5,400 Read and 4,900 Write.

I chose the 1TB because it is the fastest of the range withe the 2tb much more expensive and slower and the 256Gb and 512Gb considerably slower.
I got the deal from Aliexpress with guaranteed 11 day delivery (All thou it very wooly when the clock starts) i usually get things between 9 and 15 days and its free.
It has ?? 5 year warranty with Western Digital and I have claimed successfully before from WD on another object couple of years ago from Aliexpress no problem as you can use things like DiskCrystal to get all the specs like build date.
I use a Credit Card like Amex for added protection.
The Price also includes UK VAT so no issues there.

I checked my installation, everything was fine, no pinched wires, or thermal sleeve inserted wrong, etc and still it ran hot AF. Soon as I put my old stock back in, heat was back to normal. Baffled to say the least, unless it's a dodgy drive to begin with.
Now, I've tried to get them to refund me and they want me to send it via FedEx or UPS back to them, and they'll give me a voucher for the cost of shipping!
This has to be one of the biggest nightmares I've had recently buying anything. I know ymmv, but for me, it's been anything but a "bargain".
Anyone want a WD paperweight? Good price, won't burn a hole in your pocket... Maybe
My fan runs on high all the time but I'm using it as. Windows desktop now and it's been a while since I used it before that so I don't have anything to compare it to.
I'd like to see if I'm in a bad situation now...
Does this mean I can just shove it into my Sony Alpha camera which takes "CF Cards", or even use it in my iPod Mini Gen2 which is currently using a CF Card?
Had paid under £50, so if you're not on rush keep checking their listings and every often you find it at lower price than this.

The only slight concern is WD warranty check using the serial number looks like it should be 512GB rather than 1TB? But is reporting as 1TB and the RMPrepUSB test ran fine. WD site says following description:
"SDDPTQD-1T00,PCIe NVMe 1T00,Polaris+, BiCS5 512Gb eX3 2P,M.2 2230,16D,Vulcan PC SN740,non-SED,Generic" (edited)
