Kingston Technology SSDNow M.2 SATA G2 6Gbps 480GB Solid-State Drive, Up to 550 Read and 520MB/s Write Sequential Speed

Kingston's M.2 SATA G2 SSD is a thin and compact, caseless internal solid-state drive that combines high capacity with low power consumption to serve as a reliable caching device or primary storage for the O/S and applications. Suitable for desktop motherboards utilizing the Intel 9x chipset and popular Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs including ultrabooks, notebooks and tablets, the M.2 2280 SATA G2 SSD easily integrates into designs with M.2 connectors and is ideal for system builders and DIY end users.

• Space-saving caseless design fits ultrathin computing applications
• Multi-purpose SFF connector replaces small mSATA and mini-PCIe slots
• Capacities up to 480GB
• M.2 Gen 2 SSDs are backed by a limited five-year warranty

Lighter weight than a cased SSD, the M.2 SATA G2 SSD optimizes performance with advanced garbage collection, wear-leveling and TRIM support to keep performance consistent over the life of the drive. DevSleep, a recent addition to the SATA specification, is an efficient power management option that minimizes power consumption and extends battery life. Firmware-based power loss protection maintains data integrity and ensures data in cache is constantly flushed and hardened to NAND to enable the drive to recover in the event of an unsafe shutdown.
