Suitable for popular Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs including Ultrabooks, notebooks, & tablets, the M.2 2280 SATA G2 SSD easily integrates into designs with M.2 connectors & is ideal for system builders & DIY end users. Lighter weight than a cased SSD, the M.2 SATA G2 SSD optimizes performance with advanced garbage collection, wear-leveling & TRIM support to keep performance consistent over the life of the drive. Dev Sleep, a recent addition to the SATA
Specification, is an efficient power management option that minimizes power consumption & extends battery life. Firmware-based power loss protection maintains data integrity & ensures data in cache is constantly flushed & hardened to NAND to enable the drive to recover in the event of an unsafe shutdown.
