Before You Buy or Install
- Confirm that your motherboard or laptop has an M.2 2280 slot supporting PCIe NVMe SSDs.
- Check your motherboard manual for the supported PCIe generation and available M.2 slots.
- PCIe Gen4 SSDs can operate in compatible PCIe systems at the supported link speed, but performance may be limited by the host interface.
- Check physical clearance and heatsink compatibility before installation. Avoid stacking heatsinks unless the device and motherboard instructions explicitly permit it.
- Back up important files before replacing a drive or migrating your operating system.
- Actual performance depends on the host system, software, workload and operating conditions; advertised maximum speeds are not guaranteed in every application.
