Core details for your build

Match the interface before choosing

This drive uses SATA, not NVMe. That distinction matters because M.2 slots can support different drive interfaces. Check that your computer supports an M.2 SATA SSD before ordering.

The drive is designed for PCs and laptops, and supports Windows and Linux. It also supports TRIM and S.M.A.R.T., which help your operating system maintain and monitor the SSD.

Storage for everyday workloads

With 256 GB of capacity, the drive can provide storage for an operating system, applications and frequently used files. Its rated speeds reach 550 MB/s for reads and 500 MB/s for writes, subject to the system and workload.

The 3D TLC memory is rated for 100 TBW. This gives you a useful endurance figure when assessing whether the drive suits your expected workload.

Check the physical fit and installation

The M.2 80 mm format must fit your computer’s available mounting position. The drive is not hot-swappable, so plan to install it while the system is powered off.

No screws or storage drive adapter are included. Check that you have the appropriate mounting screw and that your system accepts this drive directly.

Check compatibility before ordering

• Confirm your PC or laptop supports an M.2 SATA drive, rather than NVMe only.
• Check that its M.2 mounting position accepts an 80 mm drive.
• Confirm your operating system is Windows or Linux.
• Check that you have a suitable M.2 retaining screw for installation.
