EVM M.2 2280 SATA SSD — 256GB / 512GB | 3D TLC NAND | Up to 550 MB/s Read | 10-Year Warranty

The EVM M.2 2280 SATA SSD is built for everyday desktop and laptop users, students, and system upgraders replacing a hard drive or adding fast primary storage. The 256GB variant suits OS-only or light application builds; the 512GB variant provides comfortable headroom for OS, applications, and a growing file library. Both are well-suited for Windows and Linux OS installations, everyday productivity builds, HDD-to-SSD upgrades, student laptops and desktops, and any SATA M.2 2280-compatible system requiring reliable, affordable solid-state storage.

Both EVM M.2 2280 SATA SSD variants deliver sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 500 MB/s — approximately 5× faster than a standard 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive — for dramatically reduced OS boot times, faster application loading, and improved everyday system responsiveness. 3D TLC NAND flash stacks memory cells vertically for improved storage density, endurance, and consistency compared to older planar 2D NAND designs. Low power consumption across all operating states — 0.195W idle, 0.279W average, 0.642W maximum read, and 1.535W maximum write — reduces heat generation and extends battery life in laptop deployments. The standard M.2 2280 form factor (80×22×3.75mm) with SATA III 6Gb/s interface is compatible with a wide range of desktops and laptops featuring SATA M.2 2280 slots. Backed by EVM's industry-leading 10-year warranty.
