Bolton Technical 256 GB M.2 2230 NVMe 30 mm internal SSD

SKU CH-TBTT-VXGY4

256 GB M.2 2230 NVMe drive with 2200 MB/s sequential read and 330K IOPS random read for compatible ultrabooks and handhelds

  • Up to 2200 MB/s sequential read for fast boot and load times
  • Up to 1400 MB/s sequential write for quick file saves and installs
  • 330K random read IOPS for responsive multitasking and app launches
  • 190K random write IOPS for smooth background writes and caching
  • 5 million hours MTBF for long-term reliability in daily use

Compact 256 GB NVMe drive

This 256 GB NVMe solid state drive uses the M.2 2230 form factor and measures 30 mm in length. It fits thin ultrabooks, tablets and handheld consoles that cannot accept longer modules. The PCIe Gen3 x4 interface provides a direct upgrade path for compatible devices.

Replaces shorter or slower modules

The drive replaces existing M.2 2230 storage that is lower in capacity or limited to slower interfaces. Sequential read and write speeds reach 2200 and 1400 MB/s while random read and write hit 330K and 190K IOPS. The jump is worth it when the system supports NVMe and needs more responsive application loading.

Sustained workload behaviour

An MTBF rating of 1.5 million hours indicates reliability during extended use. The controller maintains performance across long file transfers and background indexing without thermal throttling in typical ultrabook chassis. Buyers who need higher endurance for continuous heavy writes should consider drives with a larger capacity or higher TBW rating.

Questions about this item

What M.2 slot length does the 256 GB Bolton Technical drive require?

The drive uses the 2230 form factor, so it fits a 30 mm M.2 slot.

Which step is often missed when installing this NVMe module in a Steam Deck or Surface Pro?

After inserting the drive at an angle, you must press it flat and secure it with the single retention screw before reassembling the device.

When should I plan to replace this SSD based on its endurance rating?

The manufacturer rates it at 1.5 million hours MTBF, which typically translates to several years of daily use before a preventive swap is sensible.
