  • Faster loads with sequential reads up to 2400MB/s
  • Quicker saves with sequential writes up to 1800MB/s
  • Fits Steam Deck, Surface and other M.2 2230 slots
  • Data integrity protected by built-in ECC error correction
  • Cooler, quieter operation extends laptop battery life

256GB NVMe 2230 SSD

This 256GB NVMe 2230 SSD uses 3D NAND technology to deliver sequential read speeds up to 2400MB/s and write speeds up to 1800MB/s. It connects via a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface and includes error correction code for data integrity. The compact M.2 2230 form factor fits Steam Deck, Surface devices, laptops and desktops running Windows or Mac OS.

Suits Steam Deck and compact laptops

This drive suits owners of Steam Deck, Surface or other devices that accept only the shorter 2230 length. Builders whose motherboards or laptops require the standard 2280 length cannot use this module. Users needing capacities beyond 256GB should look at larger drives.

M.2 2230 physical length

The decisive specification is the 2230 form factor, meaning the circuit board is 30mm long. Verify that your device explicitly supports M.2 2230 NVMe before purchase, as many slots only accept the longer 2280 size.

Questions about this item

What does the 2400 MB/s read speed mean for everyday use?

The 2400 MB/s read peak lets the drive load game levels, large files and the operating system noticeably faster than older drives, though real-world throughput will vary with the host system and workload.

What does the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface limit in practice?

The PCIe 3.0 x4 link caps sequential throughput at the stated 2400 MB/s read and 1800 MB/s write, so the drive cannot exceed those figures even on a faster host slot.

Will the 2230 form factor fit my Steam Deck or Surface?

Yes, the M.2 2230 size matches the slot in Steam Deck, Microsoft Surface and other laptops that accept 2230 PCIe 3.0 drives.
