Small rectangular M.2 2230 SSD with silver aluminum heatsink covering the circuit board

DATO

DATO ARS330 512GB M.2 2230 NVMe internal SSD with heatsink

SKU CH-RE09-2P88H

Compact M.2 2230 NVMe drive with an aluminum heatsink delivering up to 2500 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write for handhelds and mini PCs

  • Total capacity512 GB
  • Sequential read speedUp to 2,500 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUp to 1,700 MB/s
  • Interface typePCI-Express 3.0 x4
  • Form factorM.2 2230
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 512GB

  • Aluminum alloy heatsink improves heat dissipation for stable performance
  • PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe delivers up to 2500 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write speeds
  • M.2 2230 single-sided design fits compact devices like handhelds and mini PCs
  • Low power consumption extends battery life in portable systems
  • High reliability NAND flash ensures durable data storage

Form Factor & Compatibility

The drive uses the M.2 2230 form factor, measuring 3.0 cm by 2.2 cm by .31 cm and weighing 10 g. Its single-sided layout fits tight spaces in handheld consoles, ultra-thin laptops and mini PCs that accept a 2230-length module. Verify the slot length before ordering because longer modules will not fit.

PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe Performance

Sequential reads reach 2500 MB/s and writes reach 1700 MB/s over a PCIe 3.0 x4 link using the NVMe 1.4 protocol. An integrated aluminum alloy heatsink spreads heat during sustained transfers to help maintain consistent throughput. The drive targets users who need responsive storage in compact devices without active cooling.

Capacity & Power Profile

The 512 GB capacity suits operating systems, applications and a moderate game library in space-constrained hardware. Low power consumption extends battery life in portable gear and reduces thermal load in fanless designs. Buyers needing multi-terabyte storage or PCIe 4.0 speeds should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What does the 2500 MB/s read speed mean for everyday use on this DATO ARS330?

The 2500 MB/s read speed is the peak sequential rate over PCIe 3.0 x4; real-world loading times for games and apps will be lower and depend on the host device.

What does the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface cap at for this drive?

The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface limits the DATO ARS330 to a maximum of 2500 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write, matching its rated speeds.

What physical space does the 2230 single-sided design with heatsink need?

The module is 2.2 cm wide, 3.0 cm long and 0.31 cm thick including the aluminum heatsink, weighing 10 g; it fits M.2 2230 slots.
