Capacity and interface

The KingSpec XG7000-512 2242 is a 512GB internal SSD built on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 support. It uses 3D NAND flash and includes a heatsink for thermal management. Sequential speeds reach up to 7000 MB/s read and 4200 MB/s write. Random performance hits 630,000 IOPS read and 570,000 IOPS write.

Installation notes

The drive fits an M.2 2242 slot with M-key and measures 42.0mm by 22.0mm by 3.5mm. It runs on DC 3.3V ±5% and draws 0.63W idle or 3.50W active. The 2242 length is shorter than the common 2280 form factor, so verify your motherboard or laptop has a dedicated 2242 standoff or a combo slot. Without the correct standoff the screw will not reach.

Compatibility checks

Confirm your system provides an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 and accepts 2242-length modules. Supported operating systems include Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2012 R2, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu and Linux. The drive operates from 0°C to 70°C and stores from -20°C to 75°C. Certifications cover CE, RoHS, FCC and REACH.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the KingSpec XG7000-512 2242 is delivering its rated 7000 MBps read speed after installation?

Run a synthetic benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on Windows 10 or 11; the sequential read result should approach 7000 MBps and write near 4200 MBps when the drive is connected to a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot.

What is included with the KingSpec XG7000-512 2242 and what must be sourced separately?

The package contains the M.2 2242 SSD with a pre-fitted heatsink; you must supply a compatible M-key motherboard slot, a mounting screw, and an operating system such as Windows 10, 11, Linux or Windows Server 2012 R2.

Which capacity from the KingSpec XG7000 2242 series should I choose for a primary OS drive?

The 512 GB model provides 512 GB of 3D NAND storage and up to 7000 MBps read speed, making it suitable for a boot drive; 1 TB and 2 TB versions exist if you need more space for applications and files.
