SKU CH-9CQZ-589E4 MPN MKNSSDEV2TB-D8

A 2 TB internal SSD with NVMe interface for faster boots and application launches

  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • Faster boot and application launch with NVMe performance
  • Low idle power draw of .1W extends battery life
  • High-reliability 3D NAND flash ensures data durability
  • SLC caching accelerates burst workload performance
  • M.2 2280 form factor fits compact system builds

Mushkin Element 2TB NVMe SSD

The Mushkin Element M.2 2280 drive delivers 2TB of NVMe storage for desktops and laptops that need faster boot times and quicker application launches. It uses high-reliability 3D NAND flash with no moving parts, making it durable enough for extreme environments. Low power consumption keeps the system cool and quiet during everyday use.

Sustained workload behaviour

SLC caching accelerates burst performance before the drive settles to its native flash speed during long writes. L1.2 power mode support drops idle draw to 0.1W, while active consumption reaches up to 8W under heavy load. A built-in temperature sensor and S.M.A.R.T. reporting let the system monitor thermal status continuously.

Installation and common issues

The single-sided M.2 2280 form factor fits standard slots without cable routing. User-upgradeable firmware and NVMe Security Erase support simplify maintenance and secure disposal. Missing motherboard NVMe boot support or an outdated BIOS are the typical reasons the drive is not detected on first power-up.

Questions about this item

How hot or loud does the MKNSSDEV2TB-D8 get during all-day use?

Idle power is 0.1 W and active power peaks at 8 W, so heat output stays low and there are no moving parts to create noise.

What must my motherboard provide for this 2280 drive to work?

An M.2 slot wired for PCIe Gen3 x4 with NVMe support is required.

Will the MKNSSDEV2TB-D8 slow down when paired with an older PCIe Gen2 slot?

It will operate at the slot's Gen2 x4 bandwidth, reducing peak sequential speed but keeping all NVMe features functional.
