Against the roughly 550 MB\/s ceiling of a SATA drive that is a genuine step change, and it is the upgrade that makes an older machine with a spare M.2 slot feel current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a compact stick with low power draw — 2.07W under full load and 0.37W idle — which helps laptop battery life rather than hurting it. At 512GB it works well as an entry build's main drive or as the fast operating system drive alongside bulk storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 1,700 MB\/s read and 1,100 MB\/s write, on a current Gen3 x4 controller rather than a narrower x2 part.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong random figures:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 290K IOPS 4K random read and 260K IOPS random write — the numbers behind how quickly the system responds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM.2 2280 form factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e the standard 80mm M.2 stick, one screw to fit.
