M.2 NVMe SSD Silicon Power P34A60 256GB — PCIe Gen3x4, 2200/1600 MB/s, M.2 2280

The Silicon Power P34A60 256GB M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD delivers a balance of affordable pricing and solid performance. Using a PCIe Gen3x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 support, this M.2 2280 drive offers up to 2,200 MB/s sequential read and up to 1,600 MB/s sequential write speeds in a compact 80 mm form factor. Built with LDPC error correction, End-to-End data protection and a RAID engine, the drive is intended for system upgrades in laptops, small form factor desktops and compatible ultrabooks, with capacities available up to 2 TB.

Advantages

The P34A60 combines NVMe 1.3 protocol and HMB (Host Memory Buffer) to improve IOPS and reduce latency compared with AHCI solutions. Its PCIe Gen3x4 interface uses four lanes for simultaneous transmit and receive, enabling higher throughput. Data integrity features—LDPC ECC, E2E protection and a RAID engine—help maintain reliability and stability. The M.2 2280 size makes installation straightforward in a wide range of systems.
