Tips

Ensure your motherboard or laptop has an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe Gen4 support to achieve maximum speeds. Although the drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen3, performance will be limited to Gen3 bandwidth. For optimal thermal performance, consider using a motherboard M.2 heatsink if the drive will be under sustained heavy loads.
