KingSpec NT 512GB M.2 SATA SSD

The KingSpec NT-512-2280 is a 512GB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III 6Gb/s interface. It uses 3D NAND flash and a controller rated for up to 560 MB/s sequential read and 540 MB/s sequential write speeds. Random performance reaches 58,800 IOPS read and 62,500 IOPS write.

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

This drive fits desktops, laptops and ultrabooks that provide an M.2 slot wired for SATA signalling. The 3.50mm height and 22mm by 80mm dimensions match the standard 2280 footprint. Systems that require PCIe signalling on the M.2 connector cannot use this drive. Buyers should verify their motherboard or laptop manual lists SATA support for the M.2 socket before purchasing.

SATA III 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this part works is the SATA III 6Gb/s interface protocol. The M.2 2280 connector shape is shared with faster PCIe drives, but this unit communicates only over SATA. If the host slot is keyed or configured exclusively for PCIe, the SSD will not be detected.

Questions about this item

What does the 560 MBps sequential read mean once the drive is installed in a laptop?

The 560 MBps figure is the peak SATA III throughput; in a laptop the drive will deliver near that speed for large file transfers and boot sequences, limited by the SATA bus ceiling.

How does the SATA III 6Gb/s interface cap real-world performance?

The SATA III link tops out at 6 Gb/s, so sequential reads and writes cannot exceed roughly 560 MBps and 540 MBps respectively, regardless of the 3D NAND or controller.

What physical space and mounting does the 2280 form factor need?

The drive measures 22 mm wide by 80 mm long and 3.50 mm high, fitting any standard M.2 2280 slot secured with a single screw.
