GUDGA 256GB M.2 SATA SSD

This 256GB internal solid-state drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III 6Gb/s interface. It delivers maximum sequential read speeds of 550 MB/s and write speeds of 480 MB/s. Sustained reads reach 510 MB/s while sustained writes reach 430 MB/s. Random 4KB performance is rated at 75K IOPS read and 65K IOPS write.

Suits SATA M.2 slots only.

The drive fits laptops and desktops with an M.2 2280 slot wired for SATA. It will not work in slots that accept only PCIe modules. Physical dimensions are 80 x 22 x 3.5 mm and it operates from 0 to 70 °C on a 5 V ±5 % supply. Access time is 0.07 ms.

256GB capacity — formatted space about 230.4 GB

The labelled capacity is 256 GB using decimal counting, while the operating system reports roughly 230.4 GB because it uses binary units. This is normal for every SSD. The drive contains no moving parts so it runs silently.

Questions about this item

Will this 256 GB M.2 2280 drive fit my laptop that only accepts SATA M.2 modules?

Yes. The module uses the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, so it fits any slot wired for SATA M.2.

What usable capacity should I expect after formatting?

About 230.4 GB. The supplier notes that operating systems count in binary units, so the visible space is roughly 90 % of the labelled 256 GB.

How fast are real-world sequential transfers on this drive?

Sustained sequential read reaches 510 MB/s and sustained sequential write reaches 430 MB/s under typical workloads.
