Kingston 128GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 Internal SSD

The Kingston 128GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 Internal SSD delivers exceptional performance and reliability for demanding computing tasks. Designed for users who require fast boot times, rapid application loading, and efficient data transfer, this solid-state drive leverages the NVMe protocol over a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface to achieve sequential read speeds up to 2000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 600 MB/s. With a compact M.2 2280 form factor, it is ideal for modern laptops, ultrabooks, and desktop motherboards with an M.2 slot.

Advantages

Experience significantly faster system responsiveness compared to traditional hard drives or SATA SSDs. The Kingston 128GB NVMe SSD reduces boot times, accelerates game level loading, and improves overall multitasking. Its low power consumption (0.0032W idle, 0.08W average) extends battery life in portable devices. Built with 3D TLC NAND and a Silicon Motion SM2263EN controller, it offers endurance of 60 TBW and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours, ensuring long-term reliability. Hardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE1667 eDrive support provides robust data security.
