The following images were taken at high-resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon DSLR shooting 24 MegaPixel photos. Right then, off we go.
 

The sample we have at hand is the 240 GB model. Performance is listed as 1600 MB/s for reads and 1050 MB/sec for writes with roughly 130K IOPS at 4k random 110K writes QD32 aligned disk access with our tested model.  The smallest 120 GB version is slower in writes (700 MB/s), please refer to that specs on page two on that for more information.
 

 
Above, the tested unit; you should easily be able to place the M.2 unit into a compatible motherboard. Most Z97/X99/Z170/Z270/Z370/X299 and for AMD X370 / X470 / X399 boards support it 100%. You should, however, check out with the motherboard manufacturer if you have an x2 lane PCIe 3.0 version with NVMe support so that you can benefit from the full available bandwidth and thus performance. 

The compact M.2 2242 form factor ensures compatibility with next-generation desktop and mobile platforms that support the M.2 PCIe slot and interface. Too bad the PCB color is well .. baby blue (needs to be black). And yes, no DRAM ICs, which normally make my neck hairs grow back inward. This round though, the SSD uses system memory as cache, and that works out fine. 

 
Toshiba offers a 3-year limited warranty, with a rated 120 Terabyte written for this 240 GB unit. Let's zoom in a bit more at the actual components slapped onto that PCB though.
