I've never seen anyone using this KingSpec SSD with Monterey. It's really not worth saving the 10 or more Euros to buy one of these when you can get a proven name brand drive for a little more money. Cheap no name drives like this have a controller with no DRAM and use low quality NAND Flash chips, too. In real world performance, they don't do any better than a SATA SSD. You'll get low to average 1000-2000 sequential read/write numbers in testing but that's about it.M.2 SSDs which are proven to work correct with Monterey? I want to buy a cheap one to play around with on aliexpress
Go with a WD SN550 instead. I've seen those on sale at really low prices. At least you've then got warranty support from WD. If your only objective is getting the lowest price possible ,then try one of the Inland Professional drives. Cost about the same as a SATA based SSD. The controller has DRAM too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KZS8N8Y/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
