Our take on the 1TB NVMe SSD M.2 PCIe 3.0 Gen 3x4 2280 Internal Solid State Drive

A 1TB M.2 2280 solid state drive using the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface and 3D TLC flash. It is rated at 3200 MB/s for both sequential reads and writes, which is near the ceiling of the Gen 3 bus. That makes it a sensible fit for older laptops and desktops, or as a secondary game and project drive, where a Gen 4 drive would run at Gen 3 speed anyway. Against Gen 4 rivals it gives up peak throughput, and against DRAM-less budget drives the 3D TLC and balanced read/write figures are the points to check.

Pros
  • Symmetric 3200 MB/s read and write ratings
  • 3D TLC flash rather than QLC
  • Standard 2280 M.2 fit for most slots
  • NVMe over PCIe 3.0 x4, a big step up from SATA
  • 1TB capacity leaves room for OS, apps and games
Cons
  • Capped by the Gen 3 interface; Gen 4 drives are faster
  • No DRAM cache stated, which can slow sustained writes
  • No heatsink, so check clearance and airflow
  • Sustained write speed may drop once the cache fills

Questions and answers

Will this fit my laptop or desktop?
It is a standard M.2 2280 drive, so it fits slots that accept 2280-length cards. Check that your slot supports PCIe NVMe rather than SATA-only M.2.
Is it worth it over a Gen 4 drive?
Only if your slot is Gen 3. On a Gen 3 slot a Gen 4 drive runs at the same speed, so this drive loses nothing. On a Gen 4 slot you would be leaving performance unused.
How fast is it in real use?
The rated 3200 MB/s read and write is close to the Gen 3 x4 limit. Real-world file transfers and game loads will be far quicker than a SATA SSD, though sustained large writes can slow once the cache is full.
Does it need a heatsink?
Not strictly, but M.2 drives can throttle under long sustained writes. If your board or laptop has a heatsink or thermal pad, use it.
What is in the box?
Typically just the drive. You may need a mounting screw if your board did not keep one, and cloning software is not usually included.
Is 1TB enough?
It comfortably holds an OS, apps and several large games. If you store big video projects or a large game library, consider a second drive.
Where is the 1TB NVMe SSD M.2 PCIe 3.0 Gen 3x4 2280 Internal Solid State Drive cheapest?
At Newegg, for $144.99, as of our latest check.
