Micron 3500 2 TB NVMe SSD

The Micron 3500 is a 2 TB internal solid-state drive that uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol. It adopts the M.2 2280 form factor for direct motherboard installation. The drive includes power loss data protection, dynamic write acceleration and digitally signed firmware for data integrity.

Suits PCIe 4.0 systems needing 2 TB

This drive fits builds that have an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 and want 2 TB of NVMe storage. It is not suited for systems limited to PCIe 3.0 lanes or for buyers who need a higher capacity than 2 TB. Laptops or desktops without an M.2 2280 slot cannot use it.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface. The motherboard must provide an M.2 2280 key-M slot running PCIe 4.0 x4 to achieve the rated performance and to recognise the drive. Without that exact interface the drive will not function as intended.

Questions about this item

What does the 3500 MB/s sequential read speed mean once the drive is installed in a system?

The 3500 MB/s figure represents the maximum sequential read throughput over the PCIe 4.0 x4 link; real-world speeds depend on workload, controller firmware, and host thermal management.

How does the PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface limit performance in practice?

The four-lane PCIe 4.0 connection caps theoretical bandwidth at roughly 8 GB/s, so the drive’s 3500 MB/s read and write speeds operate well within that ceiling.

What physical slot and length does the M.2 2280 form factor require?

The drive fits a standard M.2 key-M slot and measures 80 mm long (the 2280 designation), so the motherboard must provide an 80 mm standoff and clearance for a single-sided module.
