  • Power-loss protection and RAIN technology guard data integrity

Micron 3500 512 GB NVMe SSD

The Micron 3500 is a 512 GB internal solid-state drive built for desktops and laptops that accept an M.2 2280 module. It uses 3D TLC NAND and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to deliver fast sequential throughput for operating systems, applications and active project files.

M.2 2280 form factor and onboard protection

The single-sided M.2 2280 card fits standard motherboard slots without blocking adjacent headers or requiring a heatsink. Onboard features include TCG Pyrite 2.02 encryption, power-loss data protection, RAIN technology, dynamic write acceleration and digitally signed firmware for supply-chain integrity.

PCIe 4.0 x4 lane limit

The drive operates at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds, so platforms limited to PCIe 3.0 or x2 lane configurations will not reach the rated sequential performance. Workloads that exceed the 512 GB capacity or demand sustained write throughput beyond the TLC NAND and dynamic acceleration envelope will see reduced speeds.

Questions about this item

What does PCIe 4.0 x4 (NVMe) cap in practice for this Micron 3500 drive?

The interface supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth with NVMe 2.0c, and the controller uses dynamic write acceleration to sustain throughput during heavy workloads.

What physical slot and form factor does the M.2 2280 Micron 3500 require?

It fits a standard M.2 2280 slot measuring 0.9 in wide by 3.1 in long and 0.1 in high, weighing 0.35 oz.

How is the Micron 3500 installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 socket, press down, and secure with the motherboard screw; many forget to enable Host Controlled Thermal Management in BIOS for proper thermal throttling.
