Connectivity and compatibility

This SSD is designed to fit into M.2 slots on motherboards supporting PCIe Gen5, but it also works seamlessly with PCIe Gen4 and Gen3 systems. This flexibility allows users to upgrade their storage without needing the absolute latest platform, while still benefiting from improved speeds and efficiency. It supports both Intel and AMD platforms that provide M.2 PCIe slots, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of desktop and workstation builds.

Performance and reliability

The combination of high-speed PCIe Gen5 interface and 232-layer TLC NAND ensures fast and reliable data transfer, which is essential for tasks like gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering. The included heatsink prevents thermal throttling by efficiently dissipating heat, so performance remains stable even during extended heavy use. Support for Microsoft DirectStorage and GPU decompression further optimizes system resources, reducing CPU load and improving overall responsiveness.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD is well suited to users who require fast storage for demanding applications, including gamers looking to reduce load times, creative professionals working with large media files, and IT enthusiasts building high-performance systems. Its compatibility with multiple PCIe generations and effective cooling make it a strong choice for both new builds and upgrades where speed and reliability are priorities.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
