I'm dealing with a "2100: Detection Error on Storage Device (M.2)" issue when I try to boot my computer. After some troubleshooting, it seems like my SSD might be dead and needs to be replaced. Prices for SSDs have gone up recently, but since I rely on this machine daily, I need a quick and budget-friendly replacement. I don't do any gaming or heavy performance tasks, so a basic SSD would definitely suffice. Ideally, I'm looking for a 256 GB drive or higher, but I could make do with a 128 GB if necessary. I'm specifically searching for an M.2 2280 drive.

If you're near a Walmart, check their electronics cabinet. Sometimes they have great price drops on SSDs. You might snag a good deal!
What country are you in? That might help narrow down options for you.
I have a 500GB WD Blue SSD that I'm planning to sell for around $35. It might be just what you need! Let me know if you're interested.
You can find some 128GB Innodisk drives on eBay. They’re pretty cheap and suitable for basic use!
Make sure to check with the manufacturer of your old SSD first. It might still be under warranty if it’s a recent purchase!
