Our take on the Dell 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive

This is a 1TB M.2 2280 solid state drive from Dell, using TLC NAND over a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interface. It is a plain OEM-style drive aimed at upgrades and replacements in Dell desktops and laptops, and it also works in most other M.2 slots. Compared with big retail drives from Samsung, WD and Crucial, it is a modest, no-frills option: it lacks a heatsink and the brand's own software suite, and it does not publish dramatic sequential speed claims. Owners rate it well overall, mainly for easy installation and steady everyday performance.

Best forUpgrading a Dell laptop or desktop with a free M.2 2280 slotAdding fast storage for Windows, apps and gamesReplacing a small or failing boot driveBuyers who want a simple drive with no extra software
Pros
  • Standard M.2 2280 size fits most modern laptops and desktops
  • PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interface for fast boot and app loading
  • 1TB capacity is enough for the OS, apps and a game library
  • TLC NAND rather than slower QLC flash
  • Simple install, no drivers or software needed
Cons
  • No heatsink, so it can run warm under long writes
  • No published endurance rating or detailed speed specs
  • No management software or cloning tool included
  • Not a top-tier speed drive against premium Gen4 rivals

Questions and answers

Will this fit my laptop?
It fits any M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe. Check your model's slot length and keying before buying, since some slim laptops use shorter 2230 drives.
Is it fast enough for gaming?
Yes for game loading and everyday use. It is not among the fastest Gen4 drives, so expect good but not top-tier sequential speeds.
Does it come with a heatsink?
No. It is a bare drive, so a desktop or PS5-style slot with its own heatsink is the better home for it.
Can I use it as my Windows boot drive?
Yes. It works as a boot drive, though you will need to clone your old drive or do a fresh Windows install yourself.
Is it compatible with a Gen3 slot?
Yes. It will run at Gen3 speeds in a Gen3 slot, so you lose some bandwidth but it still works.
What is in the box?
The drive itself. Mounting screws and cloning software are not included, so check whether your machine already has them.
