Right I got my money back from a previous M.2 that I tried to order. Apparently it is the supplier. The one I got was DOA and confirmed by the shop itself. But since this store wants R1.7k for a M.2 I decided I would rather order it online.
It’ll work, but it’s not a great drive, or even an OK drive. Rogueware is pretty horrible. The last straw for me was a DOA monitor that the distributor wanted to REPAIR using parts from one of the 50+ dead units they had an hand.

Your board has PCIe 3.0 so you’ll be limited to around 3,500 MB/s max, but that’s still double the write speed of the Rogueware, and the warranty is two years longer.

It might work, but will one have a place to secure it?
One gets different sizes, 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and even 22110. The part after the 22 refers to the length of the NMVe.
2280 is the common one and most desktop motherboards will support at least that, but might not have space to secure a 2230. Some laptops only has space for a 2230

I would only buy a Samsung Evo Plus or Pro, or WD Black. But the WD woule be my 3rd option. The Samsung are the go to standard because theyre fast and reliable.
Looking at stats which is difficult to find for the rogue, its half the speed of the Samsung Evo Plus 970 which can be bought for 1999 from takealot. The Pro is much better the 980 as you still only run nvme 3.0.
The Samsung 970 Evo Plus is the fastest NVME 3.0 drive that was made.
Oh, most of the worlds memory chips are made by Samsung because they are so good. Same with NVME drives. Everything else is just crap.

They were. These days, they have failure rates on the higher end of the spectrum. The 990 Pro has one of the highest RMA rates because of the health dropping extremely quickly. Not ALL are affected, but you can lose 5-10% health just by installing Windows, and a further 2-5% per week from normal use. This was supposed to be fixed with firmware, but Samsung's forums as well as my experience dealing with returns show that the firmware hasn't fixed all drives.
The 970 was the last GOOD SSD Samsung made. Back in 2017-ish, your choices were Samsung, or whatever other garbage is on the market. That is no longer the case by any means. Limiting info to drives where I've got sales and returns history on 50 or more, the Kingston KC3000 is approximately 3.2x less likely to be returned under warranty than the 980 Pro, and around 8x less likely than the 990 Pro.

Those drives are both far more expensive than the HikSemi I linked above, while also being slower. In reality, performance will be the same between the two as OP will be limited by the PCIe 3.0 bus, but the Samsung costs nearly 3x as much.
His board doesn't have an integrated heatsink for an M.2 drive, but at PCIe 3.0 speeds the controller is going to be pretty relaxed and won't get warm enough to matter. If/when OP upgrades board to something that supports PCIe 4.0, it will almost certainly have a heatsink for the M.2 slot, and the drive will be faster than either you've linked. Not just on paper, but real-world performance too. I've seen several people getting write speeds slightly exceeding the claimed write speed, although the best I've seen myself is within about 2% of the claimed speed.
The Samsung has higher 4K IOPS, but other than that is worse in every way. Even looking at endurance, the Samsung 980 Pro is only rated at 600 TBW vs 1,800 TBW.
