I found this one, for example but I don't know the brand. The only 2240 SSD of a company I know on Amazon Italy is Kingston, but has the wrong screw placements.

I'd recommend this one by Corsair

It's faster and more power efficient than the stock one, name brand, cheaper than most, and I haven't heard any failure reports about it.

The Sabrent Rocket one you linked I have seen a lot of reports of it dying and complaints that Sabrent didn't honor the warranty, but it's hard to know how widespread issues like that actually are. The corsair one hasn't been out as long, so it's possible there's just been less time for negative reports to show up.

Just installed this one. Works great.

Fwiw, my Sabrent 512 died on me a few weeks ago. I think it was running hot so this energy efficient Corsair might be a good replacement.

That's honestly true, in my country the €114 Corsair is asking is in the low end for this type of ssds. But I will have to check shipping.
