Key Specifications & Features
Capacity: 1 TB.
Form factor: M.2 2280 (standard length for many desktops/laptops).
Interface: PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 (NVMe).
Sequential Read Speed: Up to 3,200 MB/s (for the 1 TB m
Sequential Write Speed: Up to 2,500 MB/s (for the 1 TB model)
Endurance (Total Bytes Written, TBW): Rated at 100 TBW for the 1 TB capacity.
Warranty: 3 year limited warranty.
Compatibility & form-fit: Designed to install easily into systems with an M.2 2280 slot supporting PCIe.
Performance advantage: Marketed as about “5× faster than traditional SATA SSDs” when using compatible hardw
Being NVMe + PCIe 3.0 means this drive offers significantly higher performance than many basic SATA SSDs—great for faster boot times, quicker file transfers, and improved responsiveness.
The high sequential speeds (3,200 MB/s read) are very good for a 1 TB drive in the mainstream category.
The endurance rating (100 TBW) is decent for general consumer use—meaning for typical desktop/laptop usage it should hold up well.
The 3-year warranty gives a solid baseline of support.
Although PCIe Gen 3.0 is fast, newer drives with PCIe Gen 4.0 can offer even higher speeds—so if your system supports Gen 4 and you want “bleeding edge”, one might consider that.
The actual performance will depend on your system’s slot (M.2 key, lanes, cooling) and firmware, so you may not always reach the “up to” numbers. The manufacturer also notes this.
Cooling/thermals: High-speed NVMe drives can heat up under sustained loads, so system cooling and slot location matter.
Ensure your system’s BIOS/UEFI supports NVMe M.2 drives if installing into an older laptop/desktop.
