2-power M.2 PCIe NVMe 2280 NEW (2P-00UP436)

Give your system an immediate speed boost with the 2-Power 2P-00UP436 M.2 PCIe NVMe 2280 internal solid state drive. A system builder upgrading a workstation or a gamer loading massive open-world titles will notice the difference: this drive leverages PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth and the NVMe protocol to deliver sequential reads up to 3500 MB/s and writes up to 3000 MB/s. Boot times shrink, file transfers finish in seconds, and applications launch without the lag of traditional SATA SSDs.

Why choose it

This drive is built for reliability and performance. The 3D TLC NAND offers a strong balance of endurance and speed, while the NVMe interface reduces latency and CPU overhead compared to SATA. With a 1.5 million hour MTBF and robust shock and vibration resistance, it is a dependable choice for both desktop and mobile systems. It is also compatible with the PlayStation 5 when used with an appropriate heatsink.

Ideal use cases

• Upgrading a desktop or laptop for faster boot and load times
• Building a high-performance gaming PC or console storage expansion
• Professional workloads such as video editing, 3D rendering, and data analysis
• Replacing an older SATA SSD or HDD to extend system life

Good to know

The M.2 2280 form factor fits most modern motherboards and laptops. Ensure your system has an available M.2 slot with PCIe Gen3 x4 support for full performance. The drive supports TRIM for sustained performance over time and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring for proactive health checks. Power consumption is typically 3–5W under active use, helping to preserve battery life in portable devices.
