M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 1TB SSD

The Apacer AS2280Q4U is an internal solid-state drive built on 3D NAND with a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface. It delivers sequential reads up to 7400 MBps and writes up to 7000 MBps for gaming and content creation workloads. A bundled metal heatsink is included to manage thermals.

Suits PS5 expansion and PC builds with M.2 2280

This drive meets the dimensional and performance requirements for PlayStation 5 storage expansion when the heatsink is fitted. It also fits standard desktop and laptop M.2 2280 sockets that support PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or SATA interfaces will not reach the rated speeds.

Heatsink lowers operating temperature by up to 35%

The supplied metal heat spreader uses natural convection to draw heat away from the controller and NAND packages. Cooler sustained operation helps maintain peak throughput during long sessions. No additional software or drivers are required for the thermal solution to function.
