That's amazing, that a 120GB drive is still alive. Some of those
die due to firmware issues.

it could be a SATA type NVME, rather than a PCIe.

The entry in /dev should help you identify what it is listed under.

As far as I know, Sandforce did compressing controllers for SATA,
and Kingston was their major customer. I could not tell you
whether Sandforce was still in business or not.
