M.2 2280 SATA 250GB consumer SSD

The Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Vital is an M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built for consumer PCs and laptops that accept SATA-based M.2 modules. It provides 250GB of storage using MLC NAND flash and a SandForce controller. The drive fits any M.2 2280 slot wired for SATA signalling.

SATA III 6Gb/s interface practical limits

The drive connects through a SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s) interface and is backwards-compatible with SATA 3Gb/s ports. Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 530 MBps, while 4KB random reads hit up to 86,000 IOPS. These figures represent the practical ceiling of the SATA III bus.

MLC NAND with BCH ECC and thermal sensor

High-reliability MLC NAND is paired with built-in BCH ECC capable of correcting up to 55 bits per 512 byte sector. An integrated thermal sensor monitors drive temperature across an operating range of 0°C to +70°C. TRIM and SMART support maintain performance and health reporting, and firmware is user-upgradeable. The 3.50mm height, 22mm width and 80mm depth conform to the standard M.2 2280 footprint.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive fit in a laptop that only has a SATA M.2 slot?

Yes, the drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III interface and is backwards-compatible with SATA 3.0 Gb/s slots, so it will work in any M.2 slot wired for SATA.

Does the 250 GB capacity use MLC flash for better endurance?

The drive uses high-reliability MLC NAND flash with built-in BCH ECC correcting up to 55 bits per 512 byte sector and an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours for long-term durability.

What operating temperatures can this SSD handle inside a compact build?

It is rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature and -40 °C to 85 °C storage temperature, with an integrated thermal sensor for monitoring heat.
