I was willing to give it a try for $42, but the device came and my system won't even boot with it installed. It boots with the older M.2 just fine.

I'm under the impression that all that is required is that I take out the old (working) M.2, replace it with the new one, then boot it up... I believe this is the procedure I followed the last time when I originally upgraded the 500GB M.2 to 1GB. No luck though.

Anyone know what might be going on here? The device is powered up but won't ask for an address using DHCP.
