Know before you buy
To achieve the full PCIe Gen 4x4 performance of 5,000 MB/s, you must install this drive in a motherboard that supports PCIe 4.0. This typically includes AMD X570 or B550 chipsets, or Intel motherboards with native PCIe 4.0 support.
Yes, the US70 is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots. However, your read and write speeds will be capped at the limitations of the PCIe 3.0 interface rather than the drive's maximum potential.
The US70 features high endurance ratings, with the 1TB model offering 1800TBW and the 2TB model offering 3600TBW. These ratings are quite robust, making the drive a reliable choice for heavy gaming, content creation, and other demanding workloads.
The US70 does not come with an integrated heatsink. Given its high-performance Gen 4 nature, we recommend ensuring your motherboard has an M.2 heatsink or that your PC case has adequate airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
The US70 uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, which fits most modern laptops with an M.2 slot. Please verify that your laptop supports the PCIe NVMe interface and has enough physical clearance for a single-sided or double-sided drive before purchasing.
The drive utilizes SLC buffering to maintain consistent performance during sustained tasks. While speeds are fastest for initial bursts, this buffer helps keep file transfers stable even when moving large amounts of data.
