Compact 2TB M.2 2242 SSD

The KingSpec NT-2TB-2242 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2242 form factor. It connects via a SATA interface and uses 3D NAND flash memory. This drive suits desktops, laptops and ultrabooks that require the shorter 2242 module length for storage upgrades.

Thermals noise and power draw

The drive draws 0.58W at idle and 1.5W during active operation. It operates between 0°C and 70°C without a heatsink and produces no audible noise. Low heat generation and fast heat dissipation keep temperatures stable during typical workloads.

SATA sequential speed ceiling

Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps over the SATA 6Gbps link. These figures represent the practical throughput limit of the interface and determine whether the drive meets the performance needs of a SATA-based system.

Questions about this item

Will this 22 mm by 42 mm M.2 module fit my laptop slot?

The drive measures 22 mm wide by 42 mm long, so it fits any M.2 2242 slot that accepts SATA devices.

Does my motherboard need to support the SATA 6 Gbps protocol?

Yes, the drive uses the SATA III 6 Gbps interface, so the host must provide a SATA‑wired M.2 connector.

How much power will the SSD draw from my ultrabook battery?

Idle draw is 0.58 W and active draw is 1.5 W, keeping heat and battery impact low.
