The sample we have at hand is the 1 TB model. Performance is listed as 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s writes with close to 95K IOPS at 4k random write QD32 aligned disk access with our tested model. The SSD really is all about value and budget, ergo the packaging matches that feel.

Above, the tested unit; you should easily be able to place the M.2 unit into a compatible motherboard. Most Z97/X99/Z170/Z270/Z370/X299 and for AMD X370 / X470 / X399 boards support 100%. Considering this is NOT an NVMe SSD, do not worry about PCIe lane configuration. This value unit performs in a 500 MB/s range.

The compact M.2 2280 form factor ensures compatibility with next-generation desktop and mobile platforms that support the M.2 PCIe slot and interface. Each side holds a chip and NAND ICs (on each side), the controller side has an adhesive cooing sticker.
