Timetec 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

This Timetec drive is a 256GB internal solid-state drive built on 3D NAND flash with an NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 2100 MB/s and write speeds up to 1600 MB/s using SLC cache technology. The M.2 2280 form factor suits desktops, laptops and compact PCs needing fast, reliable storage.

Verify M.2 NVMe slot and OS support

Confirm your motherboard or laptop has an M.2 slot keyed for NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 operation and that it accepts 2280-length modules. The drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 2 and Gen 1 slots. Supported operating systems include Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 and Linux kernel 2.6.33 or later. No cables, screws or brackets are included in the package.

Fits M.2 NVMe builds with low power draw

The SSD installs directly into an M.2 2280 NVMe slot, freeing 2.5-inch drive bays and SATA cables for other uses. It supports NVMe 1.3, S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, garbage collection, wear-leveling, APST/ASPM power management, LDPC error correction and ONFi 2.3 through 4.0 interfaces. An MTTF of 1,500,000 hours and low power consumption suit long-term, always-on systems.

Questions about this item

Does the Timetec 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD come with a mounting screw or bracket?

The box contains only the M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD itself; all screws, cables and brackets must be sourced separately.

Why does the headline show 2,000 MB/s read but the spec table lists 2,100 MB/s?

The supplier title quotes up to 2,000 MB/s sequential read while the detailed specifications table states up to 2,100 MB/s; both refer to the same PCIe 3.0 x4 interface limit.

Will I see the full 2,100 MB/s read speed in my laptop?

Real-world throughput depends on the host PCIe 3.0 x4 lane, thermal throttling and workload; the 2,100 MB/s figure is the controller maximum under ideal conditions.
