NVME M.2 PCIE 3.0X4 2400mb/s 2280mm SSD

Our NVME M.2 PCIE 3.0X4 2400mb/s 2280mm SSD is currently an entry-level high-speed solid-state drive, belonging to the mainstream entry-level NVMe products of the PCIe 3.0 era. It balances cost-effectiveness and speed, making it ideal for gamers on a budget, upgrading older platforms, or using as a storage drive for games on a console. Measuring 22mm wide and 80mm long, it's the most universal M.2 SSD size, perfectly compatible with almost all desktop motherboards and laptop M.2 slots.

Product Parameter

Performance

For gamers, the performance of our NVME M.2 PCIE 3.0X4 2400mb/s 2280mm SSD

 is more than enough, even better than you might imagine:

1. Game Loading: Game loading speed mainly depends on 4K random read/write speeds. This entry-level NVMe SSD's 4K random read/write speeds far surpass those of SATA SSDs. Compared to high-end PCIe 4.0 SSDs, the difference in game loading time is only 1-3 seconds, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and it can easily meet the loading requirements of all AAA titles.

2. Large File Copying: Copying a 10GB game installation package takes only about 4 seconds, which is 3 times faster than a SATA SSD and more than 10 times faster than a mechanical hard drive.

3. New Game Compatibility: It also supports Microsoft's Direct Storage technology, which can accelerate the dynamic loading of new engine games like Cyberpunk 2077, reducing stuttering and loading times in games.

Who should buy this SSD?

1. Users upgrading older platforms: For example, older platforms like Intel 10th generation and earlier, and AMD AM4, many only have PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots. Our NVME M.2 PCIE 3.0X4 2400mb/s 2280mm SSD is perfect for these platforms, without wasting the performance of a PCIe 4.0 SSD.

2. Entry-level users with limited budgets: If your budget is tight for a new PC build, this is a great option as both a system drive and a game drive. It offers excellent value.

3. Game storage users: High-end users can use it as a game storage drive to store large amounts of AAA games. It's much faster than a mechanical hard drive, and game loading is also faster. Its cost-effectiveness is much higher than a large-capacity PCIe 4.0 SSD.

Beginner's Guide

1. Pay attention to the NAND flash type and avoid the QLC pitfall: Some entry-level SSDs use QLC NAND flash. While they can reach 2400MB/s for small files, when copying large files, the cache runs out, and the speed drops to around 100MB/s, similar to a mechanical hard drive. If you frequently copy large files, prioritize TLC NAND flash models, such as our NVME M.2 PCIE 3.0X4 2400mb/s 2280mm SSD, which offers higher speeds and greater stability outside of cache

2. Confirm your motherboard's bandwidth: Some very old motherboards share bandwidth with the SATA interface for the M.2 slot, or only have x2 bandwidth, leading to insufficient speed. However, motherboards from 2020 onwards generally don't have this problem, and newer DDR5 platform motherboards fully support it.

3. Make sure to enable AHCI/NVMe drivers: When installing the system, you need to enable AHCI mode and install the NVMe driver, otherwise the speed will not be fully utilized. However, most new systems now support it automatically, so beginners don't need to worry too much.

FAQ

Q: Will it work with my old motherboard?

A: As long as your motherboard has an M.2 slot and supports PCIe 3.0, it will work! Motherboards from Intel 6th generation and later, and AMD AM4 platforms are all supported, so buy with confidence!

Q: Can I install an operating system on this?

A: Absolutely! We also include a system installation tutorial, so even beginners can follow along. It only takes 5 minutes to install, and booting up takes only a few seconds after installation!

Q: How much faster will game loading be?

A: It's 5-10 seconds faster than a mechanical hard drive and 2-3 seconds faster than a SATA SSD. For example, in "Cyberpunk 2077," a mechanical hard drive takes 1 minute, while this only takes 15 seconds! 

Q: Will there be a speed drop when the cache runs out?

A: We use TLC NAND flash memory, not QLC. Even outside the cache, the speed is over 500MB/s, so it won't drop to the speed of a mechanical hard drive. Large file copying is also stable!
