Purpose and audience

The Apacer AS2280Q4U is a 2TB M.2 2280 internal SSD that uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and includes a metal heatsink. It is built for desktop PCs and PlayStation 5 consoles that need high-capacity, high-speed storage for games and creative workloads.

Upgrade context

It replaces a PCIe 3.0 or SATA drive when sequential throughput of 7400 MBps read and 7000 MBps write is required. The jump is worth it for large game libraries, video editing timelines or any workload that saturates a Gen3 link and benefits from the 15× speed advantage over SATA.

Interface limits

The drive runs on a PCIe 4.0 x4 link compliant with NVMe 1.4, so peak speeds need a motherboard or console slot wired for four Gen4 lanes. Active power draw reaches 9.7W and the operating ceiling is 70°C; the supplied heatsink cuts SSD temperature by up to 35% to keep performance consistent under sustained load.

Questions about this item

Will this 2TB M.2 drive fit inside my PlayStation 5 expansion slot with the heatsink attached?

Yes, the drive with heatsink measures 80.00 x 22.9 x 10.8 mm, matching the PS5 M.2 slot requirements for a single-sided module with integrated cooling.

Does the listed 7400 MB/s read speed require a PCIe 4.0 motherboard slot, or will it work on PCIe 3.0?

The drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface; it will operate on a PCIe 3.0 slot but sequential speeds will be limited to the 3.0 bandwidth ceiling.

How much cooler does the included metal heatsink keep the controller compared to running without it?

The manufacturer states the dedicated heat spreader lowers the SSD temperature by up to 35 percent under load, reducing thermal throttling risk.
