The drawback of using the Samsung drive I am using is shorter battery life but it does not kill my battery life using this storage drive. Product details: Item Number: 033700235979 Brand: Apple Model Number: A1466 Model Name: Macbook Air 2012 Colour: Silver RAM: 4GB - Mac OS 10.15 Catalina - Intel i5 4250U 1. Even though your computer is working normally when you are using it, it does not like going to sleep with this storage drive installed in your laptop and you end up with this waking up issue.

I suspect that there may be some compatibility issues regarding the chipset on your NVMe storage drive and the Air logic board. I have yet to get this dialog when waking up my laptop “Your computer restarted because of a problem press a key or wait a few seconds mac”. I have no experience using the Sandisk Ultra 3D 500GB NVMe M.2 storage drive but I can say using the Samsung 970 PRO 500GB NVMe M.2 storage drive does not give me any issues when I place my 2015 11inch MacBook Air into sleep mode and then waking it up several hours later.
