Overview
A 2000GB M.2 2280 SSD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. At roughly $0.26 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
Expect to pay around $524.99, which lands it among premium options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores.
