Dogfish Technology 2242-250GB internal SSD

Dogfish M.2 2242 SATA SSD

The Dogfish 2242-250GB is an internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2242 form factor with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. It uses 3D NAND flash memory and an SMI controller to deliver up to 550 MB/s sequential read and 400 MB/s sequential write speeds. The drive measures 22 mm wide, 42 mm long and 3.2 mm thick, weighing 7.0 g.

Who this suits and who should check alternatives

This drive suits owners of laptops, desktops or Mac systems that have an M.2 slot wired for SATA and need a 250 GB capacity in the short 42 mm length. It also fits industrial or embedded boards that specify the 2242 SATA form factor. Buyers whose M.2 slots are keyed only for PCIe drives, or who require higher throughput than the SATA interface provides, should select a different drive.

The specification that decides fit

The decisive specification is the M.2 2242 form factor combined with the SATA III interface. If the host device accepts a 22 mm by 42 mm SATA module, this SSD will install and operate; if the slot requires a PCIe-only module or a different physical length, it will not.
