KingSpec NT 2242 Series 1TB M.2 SATA SSD

The KingSpec NT-1TB-2242 is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2242 form factor. It connects through a SATA interface and uses 3D NAND flash memory. The drive is designed for consumer desktops, laptops and ultrabooks that accept a 22 mm by 42 mm SATA module.

Suits SATA M.2 2242 slots; not for PCIe-only sockets

This drive fits systems with an M.2 slot wired for SATA signalling, such as certain Lenovo ThinkPad, HP ProBook and ASUS Vivobook models. It delivers sequential reads up to 570 MBps and writes up to 540 MBps with random performance of 24,300 read IOPS and 6,400 write IOPS. Devices limited to PCIe signalling cannot use this module.

SATA interface on M.2 2242 form factor

The decisive specification is the SATA interface combined with the 2242 dimensions. Buyers must verify their motherboard or laptop provides a SATA-wired M.2 slot of this length; a PCIe-only slot will not work. Power draw is 0.58 W idle and 1.5 W active, with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a screw or adapter separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare M.2 2242 module. A mounting screw and any adapter bracket are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I choose between the listed capacities for this NT 2242 series?

This model is offered in a single 1TB capacity, so no capacity selection is required.

What does the 570 MBps sequential read figure mean once the drive is installed in my laptop?

It represents the peak SATA 6 Gbps throughput for large file transfers; real-world speeds will be lower depending on the system and workload.
