This WD SN740 256GB NVMe SSD was originally pulled from a working laptop and used in an external enclosure for a Steam Deck. It has been fully formatted and tested healthy with zero bad or weak sectors.

Note: The original paper manufacturer label was cleanly removed to install a heatsink. This does not affect performance as long as you install a heatsink and thermal pad to prevent the drive from overheating and throttling (which is general advice for all high-speed NVMe SSDs).
