KingSpec XG7000-1TB 2242 NVMe SSD

The KingSpec XG7000-1TB 2242 is a PCIe 4.0 x4 internal solid state drive built for consumer laptops and ultrabooks. Its M.2 2242 form factor measures 42.0mm by 22.0mm by 3.5mm and fits tight chassis where a full 2280 module cannot. The drive uses 3D NAND and supports the NVMe 1.4 protocol.

Upgrade from SATA or PCIe 3.0 drives

Replacing a SATA SSD or an older PCIe 3.0 NVMe unit with this model raises sequential throughput to 7200 MBps read and 6400 MBps write. Random performance reaches 680,000 IOPS read and 620,000 IOPS write. The jump is worth it when workloads involve large file transfers, heavy multitasking or OS drive responsiveness.

Check slot length and cooling clearance

Verify the motherboard or laptop provides an M-key M.2 slot that accepts a 2242-length module; some sockets only support 2280. The included heatsink adds height, so confirm 3.5mm vertical clearance above the PCB. Ensure the platform runs Windows 10, 11, Server 2012 R2 or a current Linux kernel for NVMe 1.4 support.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the 2242 form factor drive with the heatsink attached?

The drive measures 42.0mm in length, 22.0mm in width and 3.5mm in height including the integrated heatsink.

Which screw hole spacing on the motherboard matches the 42mm length for secure mounting?

Install the drive into an M.2 slot keyed for 2242 length; the common mistake is using the 2280 standoff position which leaves the drive unsupported at the rear.

How long is the drive rated to last under continuous operation before a likely failure?

The manufacturer rates the mean time between failures at 1,000,000 hours based on the 3D NAND components used.
