This M.2 SSD appears to be in very nice condition. It was removed from a laptop, which had recently stopped powering on. It will most likely need to be formatted. The pictures are of the actual item you will receive. I have no way to actually test it, but I am confident that it will work properly, and it is guaranteed for 30 days with free return shipping if you have any issues. Note: serial numbers are carefully recorded. The SSD be shipped in a small box carefully wrapped in bubble wrap for protection.
