KingSpec XF 2280 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD

The KingSpec XF 2280 is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built for consumers who need fast storage in a standard M.2 2280 slot. It uses 3D NAND flash and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 support. Sequential reads reach up to 4900 MBps and writes up to 4600 MBps. Random performance hits 715,000 read IOPS and 890,000 write IOPS.

Installation and common issues

The drive fits any M.2 2280 key-M socket in desktops, laptops or compatible consoles. No heatsink is included, so add one if your platform runs warm. The supplier notes PS5 compatibility when a heatsink is fitted. Active power draw is 6.75 W; ensure your motherboard or adapter can supply it. Thermal throttling may appear above 70 °C.

Deciding specification: 1200 TBW endurance

The 1200 terabytes written rating is the single figure that tells you whether this drive matches your workload. It reflects the total host data the NAND can absorb over its warranted life. Compare that number to your expected daily writes to confirm suitability. MTBF is quoted at 1,000,000 hours.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the XF 2280 1TB is hitting its rated 4900 MB/s read and 4600 MB/s write after installation?

Run a benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on the NVMe drive; sequential results should approach 4900 MB/s read and 4600 MB/s write on a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, while 4K random scores near 715000 read and 890000 write IOPS confirm the controller is operating correctly.

What ships with the XF 2280 1TB and what must I supply myself?

The package contains the M.2 2280 SSD only; no heatsink or mounting screw is included, so you must provide a motherboard standoff screw and, for PS5 use, a compatible heatsink.

Which capacity of the XF series should I choose for a PS5 that needs sustained 4800 MB/s reads?

The 1 TB model delivers up to 4800 MB/s sequential read and 4600 MB/s write with 1200 TBW endurance, meeting Sony's speed requirement while fitting the console's M.2 2280 slot.
