M.2 PCIe NVMe 3.0

They share the same 22 mm card format but not the same wiring, and the speed gap is five to six times. This series runs over PCIe 3.0 x4 at up to 3,100 MB/s; an M.2 SATA drive is capped by the SATA protocol at 600 MB/s whoever makes it. The keying differs as well — M.2 SATA carries a B&M key and fits both socket types, while this NVMe drive needs an M.2 socket wired for PCIe. Which one your design needs is decided by the board, not by the drive: send us the board model and we will confirm it.

Standard PCIe 3.0 x4 builds run DRAM-less controllers from four vendors — SMI 2263XT, Maxio MAP1202, Yeestor 9205 and Realtek 5766. Other schemes, including Innogrit and Hosin, are available on request. DRAM-less is the normal choice at this tier and suits read-heavy and small-block workloads. If you already design to a specific controller, give us the part number and we will build to it.

We build with NAND from the major original manufacturers: Micron, Intel, Samsung, SK Hynix, SanDisk, Kioxia (formerly Toshiba) and YMTC. The grade, the controller and the endurance rating are stated in the specification for every order, so nothing about the build is left implicit. Tell us the grade or the endurance your design calls for and we will quote to it.

With TLC NAND the standard ratings run from 40 TBW at 128 GB up to 640 TBW at 2 TB — endurance scales with capacity. The exact figure depends on the controller and NAND grade chosen for your order, so it is confirmed at quotation. If your specification calls for a specific TBW or DWPD, tell us the number and we will match the scheme to it.

Three years on this series, stated in the specification and in the quotation for every order. If your purchasing process requires particular warranty terms — replacement handling, or a clause written into the supply agreement — raise it at enquiry stage and we will confirm in writing what can be committed.

Yes. We put your logo on the drive label and supply in your own branded packaging, and firmware, capacity naming and box artwork can be customized on the same order. MOQ is 50 pieces, samples ship in 7–10 days and production runs 10–15 days. Send us your logo files and the specification you need, and the datasheet and quote come back within 24 hours.
