Know before you buy
This drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, which is the standard size for most modern laptops and desktop motherboards. Ensure your device has an available M.2 slot that supports NVMe PCIe drives before purchasing.
Yes, the RGB lighting is compatible with most major motherboard lighting control software. You can customize the effects and colors to match your existing build aesthetic.
Yes, the drive is compatible with both operating systems. However, if you are using it in a Mac, ensure your specific model supports internal M.2 NVMe upgrades, as many newer Macs have soldered storage.
With sequential read and write speeds of up to 3000MB/s, this drive significantly reduces game load times and speeds up large file transfers. It is well-suited for demanding tasks like video editing and high-end gaming.
This is a bare drive, meaning it does not include mounting screws or additional heat sinks. You will need to use the M.2 screw provided with your motherboard or laptop to secure it in place.
The PCIe Gen3x4 interface provides a high-bandwidth connection that is much faster than traditional SATA SSDs. While it is not the absolute fastest interface available today, it offers an excellent balance of speed and reliability for most high-performance computing needs.
