Oct 1, 2018 at 6:16 comment added YCor Let me copy the relevant comment to Qiaochu's linked post: "For finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring, no such examples exist. A student of Huneke proved this around 2004, but I don't think he ever published it. (It's possible it was already known at that time, but I never found a reference.) – Graham Leuschke Sep 21 '11 at 0:23"
Oct 1, 2018 at 5:42 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn This is easy when $M^{**}$ is reflexive (e.g. if $R$ is a product of domains [Tag 0AV3]). Indeed, if $\phi \colon M \stackrel\sim\to M^{**}$ is any isomorphism, we get a commutative diagram $$\begin{array}{ccc}M & \stackrel{\operatorname{ev}}\to & M^{**}\\ \downarrow & & \downarrow \\ M^{**} & \stackrel{\operatorname{ev}}\to & M^{****},\!\end{array}$$ where the vertical arrows $\phi$ and $\phi^{**}$ are isomorphisms. Since the bottom arrow is also an isomorphism, we conclude that the top is as well.
