The E7470 is a nice, well built laptop only held back from Win11 because of the 6th gen processor, so adding this drive and giving it an unsupported install may give it an extended life. It can be used as a boot drive on this machine in this configuration. It is no speed demon, but it's faster than the stock SATA drive the laptop comes with and is just fine for day to day office use. The B+M keying combined with NVMe on this drive is relatively rare. There are other wonky solutions with adapters, but for only a few extra bucks over those solutions, this is the way to go to use on those often open B-Keyed WWAN ports. Do a few minutes of research on your specific laptop to make sure this will work, however, as capabilities and formats of the "WWAN" port are not standardized. I use the BIOS to switch between booting off the two drives. Other than some Bitlocker issues that were easily addressed, it's been just fine. If you have an E7470 and are pursuing this path, don't forget that there is a firmware upgrade to TPM 2.0 that is available on the Dell site that you should run before installing Win11. Updates: After doing some research, it looks like this drive is based on a Silicon Motion 2263XT controller, which is fine older tech (circa 2017/18) in line with its capabilities. The SM site says it supports x4, but that may not be implemented here. It is a DRAM-less drive, which works for low speed/low end applications, but it will never compete with more modern or with high end drives. Also, the LED on the E7470 doesn't seem to respond to drive usage--no surprise given the WWAN port usage. Review: Excellent NVMe drive! - This is installed in a workhorse Raspberry Pi5 setup and it has been flawlessly reliable. It was an excellent price and we would not hesitate to purchase another one. The read and write speeds are more than adequate and we've never experienced any issues. Even after hours of usage the drive does not overheat. Perfect for our application. ## Features - Blazing Sequential Speeds & Instant Boot-Up: Experience sequential read/write speeds up to 1200/1000MB/s via PCIe Gen3x2. Boot your OS in seconds, load games faster, and enjoy zero-lag workflow. Perfect for upgrading old laptops or adding a high-speed second drive - Superior Stability & 3D NAND Durability: Built with 3D NAND flash and no moving parts, this 2242 SSD resists shock and vibration, runs silently, and safeguards your data. The ultra-slim, single-sided design fits effortlessly into ultrabooks, mini PCs, and tight motherboard slots - Advanced Controller for Long-Term Reliability: Supports S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, LDPC ECC, Wear-Leveling, and Over-Provision. These technologies work together to prolong lifespan, maintain peak performance, and ensure data integrity even under heavy gaming, streaming, or editing workloads - Broad Compatibility with Laptops & Mini PCs: Works with Windows 7/8/10/11, Windows Server, Linux, and CentOS. Compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad T/X series (T470, T480s, X1 Carbon), Dell Latitude, Alienware, and Huawei MateBook X.
