Compact M.2 2242 form factor

This BIWIN internal SSD fits the M.2 2242 slot and provides 120GB of MLC flash storage. It connects through a SATA III 6Gb/s interface for broad laptop and small-form-factor desktop compatibility.

Sustained workload behaviour

Sequential reads reach up to 500 MBps and writes up to 450 MBps while active power draw stays at 1.97W. The drive operates from 0°C to 70°C and is rated for 50G shock and 3.1G vibration resistance.

Installation notes

The 42mm by 22mm by 3.2mm card weighs 5.4g and uses a single keyed notch, so it inserts directly into the slot without cables. Ensure the motherboard BIOS recognises SATA M.2 devices; some platforms only support PCIe signalling on this connector.
