SX6000 Lite 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe drive

This XPG SX6000 Lite is a 256GB internal solid state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface and uses 3D NAND flash with NVMe 1.3 support. The drive is built for consumer desktops, notebooks and ultrabooks that have a compatible M.2 slot. Sequential read reaches up to 1800 MBps and sequential write up to 900 MBps.

Upgrade from SATA SSD to PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe

Replacing a SATA SSD with this PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drive raises sequential read to 1800 MBps and write to 900 MBps. Random read reaches 100,000 IOPS and random write 170,000 IOPS. Endurance is rated at 120TB written and MTBF at 1,800,000 hours. The jump is worthwhile when the system can boot from NVMe and the workload benefits from lower latency and higher throughput.

Check M.2 slot key, PCIe generation

Verify the motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 and that the BIOS or UEFI can boot from an NVMe device. Confirm the operating system includes an NVMe driver or can load one during installation. The drive operates from 0°C to 70°C and draws 0.33W active and 0.14W idle.

Questions about this item

What size M.2 slot does the 2280 form factor need?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, which requires a motherboard slot that accepts 80 mm long modules.

Which step is often missed when installing the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe drive?

Many builders forget to enable the NVMe 1.3 option in the BIOS before cloning or installing the operating system.

When should the drive be replaced based on its 120 TBW endurance rating?

Plan a replacement once the host writes approach 120 terabytes, which the SMART attributes will report as the drive nears its rated endurance.
