  • Fits ultra-thin laptops and mini PCs via single-sided M.2 2280

What it is

The Seagate BarraCuda 510 ZP250CM3A001 is a 250GB internal SSD built on 3D TLC NAND with a PCIe G3 x4, NVMe 1.3 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. It delivers sequential reads up to 3100 MBps and writes up to 1200 MBps for everyday consumer workloads.

Upgrade path

Moving from a slower PCIe Gen3 drive or a lower-capacity NVMe module brings immediate gains in random read and write IOPS of 210,000 and 280,000. The 250GB capacity suits OS and application installs where space is limited.

Who it suits

The single-sided M.2 2280 design fits ultra-thin laptops, mini PCs and desktops with tight clearance. Active power of 3.0W and idle draw of 16 mW help battery life. Users needing more than 250GB should consider the 1TB variant in the same series.
