2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 M.2 2280 SSD

The Mushkin Enhanced Vortex MKNSSDVT2TB-D8 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built on the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface running the NVMe 1.4 protocol and uses 3D NAND memory managed by an InnoGrit IG5236 controller. Sequential reads reach up to 7415 MBps and writes up to 6800 MBps.

PS5 Gamer Compatible and consumer workloads

The drive is marked as PS5 Gamer Compatible and targets consumer use cases such as gaming, content creation and general high-speed storage. It suits systems that provide a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 M.2 slot. Builds limited to PCIe Gen3 x4 or older interfaces will not achieve the rated throughput and should consider a drive matched to that link speed.

1000TB TBW endurance rating

The Terabytes Written specification is 1000TB, backed by an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours. Features include MEDS data-protection suite, 4th generation LDPC ECC, end-to-end data path protection, SLC caching, a DRAM cache buffer, global wear-levelling and L1.2 low-power mode support. This endurance figure is the primary metric for deciding whether the drive meets a given write-intensive workload.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the Mushkin Vortex series should I choose for my build?

The Vortex model MKNSSDVT2TB-D8 is offered in a single 2TB capacity with 3D NAND and the InnoGrit IG5236 controller, so there is no smaller or larger version of this specific model to select.

What does the 7415 MBps sequential read figure mean once the drive is installed in my system?

That figure represents the maximum sequential read throughput the controller can deliver over a PCIe Gen4 x4 link; actual speeds depend on your motherboard's PCIe generation, workload type, queue depth and thermal conditions.

The drive uses a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface — what does that cap in practice?

The Gen4 x4 electrical interface caps the theoretical bandwidth at 8 GBps; the drive's rated 7415 MBps read and 6800 MBps write sit within that ceiling, while random performance reaches 730000 IOPS read and 1500000 IOPS write.
