Model XG 7000-2TB 2242

  • PCIe 4.0 x4 delivers up to 7200 MB/s reads for faster boot and load times
  • Sequential writes up to 6400 MB/s accelerate large file transfers and content creation
  • 700,000 random read IOPS and 650,000 write IOPS keep multitasking responsive
  • 1200 TBW and 1,000,000-hour MTBF indicate long-term endurance
  • Built-in heatsink maintains performance in compact M.2 2242 devices

Compact 2242 form factor

The KingSpec XG7000-2TB 2242 is a 2TB internal SSD built on PCIe 4.0 x4 and NVMe 1.4. It delivers sequential reads up to 7200 MB/s and writes up to 6400 MB/s with 3D NAND flash. A heatsink is included to manage thermals during sustained workloads.

Ideal for space-constrained upgrades

This drive suits laptops, ultrabooks and small-form-factor PCs that accept a 42.0 mm long M.2 module. The 0.96 W idle and 5.84 W active power draw help battery life. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or shorter M.2 slots will not realise the full performance or may not fit the drive.

Verify slot length and keying

Confirm your motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 2242 M-key slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 wiring. The drive measures 42.0 mm by 22.0 mm by 3.5 mm and requires a 3.3 V supply. Check BIOS for NVMe boot support and ensure adequate airflow around the heatsink.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2242 slot that supports PCIe 4.0 x4 for this drive?

Yes, the XG7000-2TB 2242 requires an M.2 2242 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 and NVMe 1.4 support to reach its rated speeds of up to 7200 MB/s read and 6400 MB/s write.

Will it fit in a laptop that currently uses a 2280-length drive?

No, this model is 42.0 mm long (2242 form factor) while a 2280 drive is 80 mm long; the mounting screw position and physical space are different.

How can I confirm the drive is healthy after installation?

Check the SMART attributes for total bytes written (rated up to 1200 TBW), media errors and temperature (0°C–70°C operating range), and run a sequential read/write benchmark to verify speeds near 7200/6400 MB/s.
