Gen4 speed in the 80mm stick your motherboard already has a slot for.
The Crucial E100 480GB is an M.2 2280 NVMe drive on a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, rated at up to 4,700 MB/s sequential read and 2,500 MB/s sequential write. At 480GB it makes a quick, responsive boot and applications drive for an entry build or a laptop refresh — pair it with a second drive if you keep a large game library, because one modern title can take a serious bite out of this capacity.
It is built on Micron Advanced G7 NAND and carries the housekeeping features you want a drive to handle quietly in the background: multistep data integrity checks, error correction code, adaptive thermal protection and integrated power loss immunity.
Key Features
- PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe: up to 4,700 MB/s read and 2,500 MB/s write, so Windows boots and large applications open without the wait.
- M.2 2280 form factor: the standard 80mm M.2 stick that most desktop motherboards and many laptops take. Check your system's M.2 slot length, keying and PCIe generation before ordering.
- Backward compatible with PCIe 3.0: it will run in a Gen3 slot, simply at Gen3 speed — useful if you plan to move it into a newer board later.
- Micron Advanced G7 NAND: the flash and the drive come from one supply chain rather than a mix of whatever was cheapest that month.
- Adaptive thermal protection: the drive manages its own temperature under sustained load instead of simply falling over.
- Data integrity built in: error correction code, a multistep data integrity algorithm and integrated power loss immunity.
- Maintenance handled for you: active garbage collection, TRIM support and SMART self-monitoring and reporting.

What's in the Box
- 1 x Crucial E100 480GB PCIe Gen4 2280 NVMe M.2 SSD
Backed by a 3 year warranty. Worth knowing before you buy: a 480GB drive formats to roughly 447GB usable, and capacities are quoted in decimal gigabytes while Windows reports binary — so the number in File Explorer will always look smaller than the one on the box. Best suited to a budget-conscious build, a single-drive office PC, or as the fast boot drive alongside bulk storage.

Questions
Before you buy
Will this drive fit my motherboard?
It connects over NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 in the M.2 2280 form factor. Check that your board has a free slot of that type - an M.2 drive needs an M.2 socket of the right length, a SATA drive needs a SATA port and a power lead from the supply. A drive will still work in a slower slot than it is rated for, it just will not reach its full speed.
How much will actually fit on it?
It is a 480GB drive. Formatted capacity always reads a little lower than the number on the box because drive makers count in decimal gigabytes and Windows reports binary ones - that is normal and not a fault. Leaving roughly ten percent free also helps an SSD hold its write speed over time.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
