Is this a good M.2 SSD?

Is this SSD good and reliable and will it be compatible with an Alienware 13 R3 laptop? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/RKhj4D/crucial-mx300-11tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ct1050mx300ssd4

yes

Yes, it's good. Just be aware that it's a SATA M.2 SSD. It won't be any faster than a regular old 2.5" SATA SSD.

It is the only type of SSD that fits in my laptop. Before I go and order will it be compatible with an alienware 13 r3 laptop?

As long as it's a 2280 M.2 stick and you're certain your M.2 slot is at least B keyed (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:M2_Edge_Connector_Keying.svg), then you should be good to go.

you can see with your own eyes

see the pin separator it has left, right  or both

left = sata only

right = nvme only

both = both

coz i dont have such a razer product to burn my bank accounts
