1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive

This internal SSD uses a 3D NAND TLC design and the PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface in an M.2 2280 form factor. It targets consumers who need fast storage for gaming or content creation workloads.

Sustained load behaviour

Sequential reads reach up to 7300 MBps and writes up to 6800 MBps, with random performance rated at 1.15M read and 1.44M write IOPs. A bundled heatsink helps maintain these speeds during extended sessions.

PS5 compatible heatsink

The included heatsink makes the drive ready for PlayStation 5 expansion without a separate purchase. Buyers who need a bare drive should select the non-heatsink variant instead.

Questions about this item

Does the 7300 MBps sequential read speed make the T500 run hot during all-day use?

The drive includes a heatsink designed to manage thermal output during sustained high-speed operation.

What motherboard slot is required for this M.2 2280 NVMe drive?

An M.2 2280 slot supporting PCIe 4.0 NVMe is needed for full performance.

Will the T500 work in a system limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds?

Yes, the NVMe interface is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe 3.0 speeds in older slots.
