AGI AI838 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with Heatsink

The AGI AI838 is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built on the M.2 2280 form factor. It uses 3D TLC NAND with an external DRAM buffer and a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface to deliver sequential reads up to 7400 MBps and writes up to 5500 MBps. The integrated heatsink helps maintain performance during sustained workloads on desktops or laptops. Rated for 750 TBW and 2,000,000 hours MTBF, it targets gamers and creators needing fast storage.

Installing the M.2 2280 drive

Insert the drive into a compatible M.2 slot at a slight angle and secure it with the motherboard screw. The heatsink adds 3.5 mm of height, so verify clearance under motherboard shields or laptop chassis before fitting. Common issues include forgetting to remove protective film from the thermal pads, over-tightening the retention screw, or using a slot limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds.

Check motherboard slot.

Confirm the motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 2280 slot keyed for PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe operation. Measure vertical space above the slot to accommodate the 80 mm long, 22 mm wide drive with its 3.5 mm heatsink. For PlayStation 5 installation, ensure the console bay accepts the 80 mm length and that the total thickness fits Sony's specified limit. Update firmware to support NVMe 1.4 features if required.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the drive is hitting its 7400 MBps read and 5500 MBps write speeds after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark using the NVMe 1.4 protocol; the results should show sequential read near 7400 MBps and write near 5500 MBps when the drive is connected to a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 slot with the heatsink attached.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package contains the M.2 2280 SSD with the integrated heatsink pre-installed; you only need to supply a compatible M.2 slot and, if your motherboard requires it, a mounting screw.

Which capacity should I choose between the available versions?

The AI838 series spans up to 4TB; the 1TB model provides 750TB TBW and the listed 7400/5500 MBps speeds, while higher capacities share the same interface and heatsink design but offer more space and proportionally higher endurance.
