What this drive is

The Dogfish 2280-512GB is a 512GB internal SSD built in the M.2 2280 form factor for consumer PCs. It uses 3D NAND flash and a SATA interface rated at 6 Gb/s. The drive weighs 20g and measures 80mm by 22mm by 3.2mm.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive fits desktops and laptops that have an M.2 slot wired for SATA and need a 512GB boot or storage volume. Sequential reads reach up to 550 MB/s and writes up to 400 MB/s. Systems requiring PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds of 1500 MB/s read or 1000 MB/s write should choose a different model.

Build fit and what it frees up

The SATA M.2 module slots directly into a compatible motherboard or notebook connector without cables, saving space inside compact chassis. With no moving parts it runs silently and produces less heat than a mechanical drive. MTBF is rated at 1,000,000 hours and the operating range spans 0°C to 75°C.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with SATA support for this drive?

Yes, the drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and requires a SATA interface on the motherboard to operate.

Will this 512GB SATA SSD work in a laptop that currently has a 2.5-inch SATA drive?

Only if the laptop also has a free M.2 2280 slot wired for SATA; the drive does not fit a 2.5-inch bay.

How can I confirm the drive is delivering the advertised 550 MB/s read speed after installation?

Run a sequential read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark and compare the result to the 550 MB/s specification.
