I actually only installed M.2 a few years back when I went serious on my PC. I’m aware of the issues, although it’s still running good. I wonder how long it will last. I still have a few IDE drives, and some no longer can be read. Not because they’ve lost the data, but it just doesn’t spin up correctly. It will be interesting to see how it works out, at the moment I’m keeping an eye out on the health using CrystalDiskInfo. There’s certainly been cases of M.2 sticks with shitty firmware, but so far I seem to have avoided them. I’m also trying out a RAIDed M.2 mini NAS, it will be fun to see how that works out compared to the traditional NAS.
