M2 NVME 128GB 2280MM SSD

An M.2 NVMe 128GB SSD offers high-speed storage. It suits modern computing needs. This 128GB SSD is available in Kenya.

Key Features

The M.2 form factor is slim. It fits laptops and desktops perfectly. Small-form-factor devices also benefit. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is its interface. It provides superior read/write speeds. These speeds surpass older SATA SSDs. The 128GB capacity is compact. It stores operating systems efficiently. Essential applications load quickly. Frequently used files fit well.

Performance Metrics

Sequential read speeds can reach 1,500 MB/s. Some models achieve up to 3,500 MB/s. Sequential write speeds range from 500 MB/s. They can go up to 2,000 MB/s. These SSDs excel as boot drives. They also handle light workloads effectively. They are ideal for system upgrades. Limited storage systems gain significant boosts.

Popular Brands

Several trusted brands offer these SSDs. Samsung provides its 980 or 970 EVO series. Kingston offers its NV1 series. Crucial features the P2 series. WD has the Blue SN570.

Pricing in Kenya

An M.2 NVMe 128GB SSD typically costs KES 2,000 to KES 4,000. Price depends on the brand. The supplier also influences cost. Takashi Limited can assist with sourcing. You can also inquire about installation. Compatibility details are available.

M.2 Standard Overview

M.2, previously Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification. It defines internal expansion cards. It also covers associated connectors. The 128GB SSD NVMe 2280 SSD replaces mSATA. It also supersedes mPCIe standards. This is why it’s called M.2. It boasts a flexible physical design. Different module widths and lengths are supported. This, with advanced interfacing, benefits devices. Ultrabooks and tablets particularly gain.

Integrated Functions

M.2 modules integrate various functions. These include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Satellite navigation is possible. Near field communication (NFC) is supported. Digital radio and WiGig are included. Wireless WAN (WWAN) also functions. Solid-state drives (SSDs) are a key component. The SATA revision 3.2 standard defines M.2 SSDs. It specifies their hardware layout. Exposed buses include PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0. Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 and USB 3.0 are also present. All these standards are backward compatible.

Storage Interfaces

Three logical device interfaces are available. Their use depends on the M.2 SSD type. Operating system support also plays a role.

Legacy SATA

This option uses SATA SSDs. It interfaces via the AHCI driver. A legacy SATA 3.0 (6 Gbit/s) port is exposed. This port connects through the NVMe 2280 SSD connector.

PCI Express using NVMe

This is for PCI Express SSDs. It interfaces through the NVMe driver. Provided PCI Express lanes are utilized. This is a high-performance interface. It is optimized for PCIe SSDs. The 128GB SSD NVMe was designed from scratch. It capitalizes on PCIe SSDs’ low latency. Enhanced parallelism is a key benefit. It complements contemporary CPUs. Host hardware and software parallelism benefit. Data transfers have fewer stages. Command queues are deeper. Interrupt processing is more efficient.

Form Factors and Keying

The standard builds on mSATA. mSATA uses the Mini PCIe form factor. It uses the existing connector. SSDs add larger printed circuit boards (PCBs). This allows longer modules. Double-sided component population is also possible.
