Micron and Kioxia are huge enterprise SSD manufacturers, along with Solidigm, Memblaze etc.
Most enterprise M.2 drives are of a different, longer, form factor than that of consumer drives, and most laptops can’t accommodate them.
They’re also more power-hungry and hotter than consumer drives.
Stick to high-end consumer drives in laptops.

If I wanted to do the same kind of upgrade (more storage with enterprise spec. reliability) to my Dell Inspiron laptop PCIe, NVME, m.2 there's only Micron and Kioxia on Scan and I've never heard of those brands. Is there even any point doing that to a laptop or should I just continue backing stuff up and waiting for failure?
