M.2 2280 NVMe Internal SSD – PCIe 3.0 x4, 250GB–2TB
$168.47
Description
Choose internal storage around the way you use your computer. This M.2 2280 NVMe SSD combines a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with 3D NAND flash in a slim module for a compatible host. Four capacity options, 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB, let you plan space for an operating system, applications, project folders or a larger local file library.
Start with compatibility, then capacity: check that your computer supports an NVMe PCIe drive in the 2280 format and has the required physical clearance. Performance varies by capacity and system. The reference table below uses the specification graphic's capacity-specific figures rather than presenting a benchmark screenshot as a speed guarantee.
Why Choose This Internal SSD
- Four capacity choices. Match the selected drive to a focused system installation or a more expansive application and file collection without treating every workload as identical.
- A defined connection standard. The PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface and M.2 2280 format give you specific requirements to compare with your host documentation.
- Compact module dimensions. At a listed 22 × 80 × 2.9 mm, the drive calls for a clear fit check inside the computer rather than an assumption based on the M.2 name alone.
- Listed flash and cache features. The imagery describes 3D NAND, LDPC error correction, host memory buffer support and SLC cache. These features do not replace backups or establish identical performance in every task.
- Capacity-specific reference figures. Compare the table before choosing, particularly if write-heavy work matters to your project. Larger capacity is not the only difference between the listed versions.
What Is It For & How to Choose
Consider this drive for a compatible computer build, replacement installation or additional internal storage project. Before buying, check the host's supported storage protocol, module length, available slot and installation instructions. Do not assume that an M.2 connector alone establishes NVMe support or that a SATA-only slot will accept this drive's interface.
Choose capacity by the files you intend to keep locally, the applications you install and the growth you expect. A focused system may need less space than a collection of video projects or games. Count your current data and leave planned room for updates and new work rather than selecting solely from the headline speed.
The gallery benchmark results differ from the specification table and are labelled as platform-dependent references. Use the published specification figures below for comparison, not as a promise of real-world transfer speed, application launch time or sustained write performance.

Dimensions & Fit Guide
Check the available space and mounting position against the computer's service guide. All four capacity options share the listed form factor; capacity selection does not remove the need to check slot and clearance requirements.
| Format | Width (cm) | Length (cm) | Thickness (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| M.2 2280 | 2.2 | 8 | 0.29 |

Tips & Suggestions
Plan a system-drive replacement
Before replacing an existing drive, make a backup and decide how you will reinstall or migrate the operating system. Keep recovery information available and confirm the host can boot from the selected storage type. Do not erase the old drive until the new installation and copied data have been checked.
Organise a photo library
Estimate the space required for original images, working copies and exported files rather than counting only the current folder. Keep an independent backup outside the working drive. A capacity choice should reflect the whole library workflow, not a claim that this SSD replaces an archive strategy.
Separate active video projects
For a compatible editing computer, plan space for source media, project files and temporary outputs. Compare the selected capacity's write reference and your application's storage requirements. Do not assume a brief benchmark represents uninterrupted speed throughout a long editing session.
Size a game collection realistically
Add up the titles you actually want installed and allow space for updates and other software. Check the intended computer's interface before treating the module as a gaming upgrade. This listing does not establish compatibility with a particular console or guarantee frame-rate improvements.
Prepare a study or home-office computer
Consider documents, applications, offline resources and personal files together when choosing capacity. Set up a clear folder structure and a separate backup routine from the beginning. Storage is one part of the computer; it does not establish that every application will run faster or that other hardware limits disappear.
Check a compact computer build
Compare the 22 × 80 × 2.9 mm dimensions with the motherboard's supported slot, mounting point and clearance. Follow the computer's thermal and installation guidance rather than selecting a module from appearance alone. Keep any existing cooling arrangement consistent with the host instructions.
Use a careful installation workflow
Power down and disconnect the system, follow its service instructions and handle the module by the edges with appropriate static precautions. Confirm drive recognition before formatting or migrating data, and check the destination carefully before any erase operation. If unfamiliar with internal installation, use qualified assistance.
Not Ideal For
Not a direct replacement for a SATA-only drive connection or a host that cannot support NVMe M.2 2280 storage. Do not choose it on the assumption of universal laptop, console or enclosure compatibility. It is also not a substitute for an independent backup, nor a guarantee of a particular application speed or continuous write rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which capacities can I choose?
The current options are 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB. Select the required capacity; usable space after formatting and system allocation is less than nominal capacity.
What interface and physical format does it use?
This is an internal NVMe SSD with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and M.2 2280 form factor. Listed dimensions are 22 × 80 × 2.9 mm. Check your host's protocol, slot, mounting and clearance requirements before ordering.
Are the speed figures the same for every capacity?
No. The specification graphic lists sequential read/write references of 3000/1400 MB/s for 250GB, 3100/2100 MB/s for 500GB and 1TB, and 3300/2900 MB/s for 2TB. Actual results vary by system and workload; benchmark screenshots are not guaranteed speeds.
Is an M.2 slot alone enough to confirm compatibility?
No. Verify NVMe PCIe support, the 2280 module format and the host's installation requirements. Do not assume a SATA-only slot or an unspecified computer, console or enclosure is compatible.
Should I back up files before installation?
Yes. Keep an independent backup before replacing, formatting or migrating a drive. Check the destination before erasing data and verify the new installation before retiring the previous drive.
Important Notices & Handling
This is an internal electronic component. Follow the host's service instructions, disconnect power before installation and use appropriate static precautions. Do not force the connector or mount the module where it lacks proper support or clearance.
Capacity and performance differ by selected version. The specification and benchmark graphics show different figures; the written comparison uses the specification table. Neither test imagery nor listed endurance establishes identical results on every host or protection against data loss.
Keep a separate backup of important data. Formatting, cloning and operating-system installation can affect existing files, so confirm the destination and follow the relevant software instructions. Product and software illustrations are references, not a bundle of the pictured applications or computer hardware.
