The SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB 2280 was acquired in AliExpress TopBrand Aliexpress Store, for use on my PC after a upgrade what should i do soon. In Brazil the same product costs more than twice the price. A garantia de 5 years of Sandisk is valid in Brazil for products purchased abroad, so it’s really worth buying directly from China.
Motivation
As I already told there in the article about AMD Ryzen processor 9 3900X and the article about memory modules Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB, I'm about to update my PC, involving motherboard, processor and memory.
At first I would continue to use my current SSD Sandisk Ultra 2.5″ de 1TB, and leave the upgrade to an SSD m.2 for the future, preferably when 2TB models are more accessible. But, my laptop, at Dell Latitude E6530, still has an HDD, so that an upgrade on it would come in handy. The other day I needed to use it and noticed how much the HDD is being a bottleneck in it. Although it is already quite old (model 2013), it has third generation i7 processor and 16GB of RAM.
I then took advantage of a promotion to purchase the SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB 2280, and already migrate with my PC update. So his current SSD goes to the upgrade from the laptop.
Choice of SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB 2280
I have purchased SSDs and SD cards from the line Sandisk Ultra for quite some time. It is an intermediate line between the basic and the top (Sandisk Extreme). It usually costs little more than the basic, but much less than Extreme.
I prefer the brand Sandisk because the warranty is usually relatively long and works well. I've used the warranty Sandisk twice, with a Sandisk Extreme de 240GB it's common Sandisk Ultra de 480GB. In both cases I sent the defective equipment to an address in São Paulo and received superior models, Extreme Pro, of the same capacity, straight from the USA, by the UPS carrier, with all the abusive Brazilian taxes already paid, and arriving in less than a week.
On the other hand, I've had SSDs from Kingston in my work that gave a problem in a short time. I even managed to guarantee a direct with the store, but the others went down after the short guarantee (2 years if I'm not mistaken).
A Samsung have some SSDs that sell a lot and perform well, but I don’t trust the brand very much due to previous problems with cellphone and monitor. Furthermore, it seems to me that they do not guarantee in Brazil for products purchased abroad.
Chinese brands, I have a KingSpec since February that so far is working perfectly. I chose it because I didn't find it Sandisk no formato 2242, that was what I needed for the MSI Cubes 2. But when there is an alternative that offers a guarantee in Brazil I prefer.
So, beyond SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB, I considered only the Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe de 1TB, similarly priced, because Western Digital also guarantees in Brazil for products purchased abroad.
Apparently SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB and the Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe de 1TB are the same product. A Western Digital bought the Sandisk in 2015, so it seems normal for them to manufacture the same product under both brands, enjoying the greater popularity of one or the other, depending on the market. In both cases, 5 year warranty. They offer reading up to 2400 Mb / s and recording up to 1950 Mb/s.
The SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB cost me R$ 813,35, with free shipping and installments in 6 times. No Brasil, the same device is being sold for R $ 1.764,59 in a well-known store (the store “exploding”), and there's still more freight. Brutal difference, you can buy two in China for the price of one here and you still have a lot of money.

Final Considerations
So far I am very satisfied with the purchase of SSD Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB 2280. It was a great savings compared to a purchase in Brazil, that would have cost more than twice the price. I just hope it works perfectly.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this SSD yet, because I'm still waiting for the arrival of my next motherboard. My current one has no m.2 slot. Because of this, this article is just one unboxing. I'll do the tests when the motherboard arrives.

Vale a pena demais comprar SSD na China quando tem garantia global sem precisar de invoice ou nota fiscal. Agora fiquei com inveja, my SSD has been since the day 24/08 on a CDD close to home, I went there but the employee was unable to deliver, and all the postmen are on strike, 4th state of my hate.
We are more or less in the same boat. My SSD arrived but I can't use it. My motherboard has had tax and postage paid for more than a week and does not move.
Complicated, I hope this strike does not take long, because I made a purchase on AliExpress today to take advantage of the coupon and the drop in the dollar in the last days.
