1TB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.4 SSD

The Mushkin Enhanced Tempest MKNSSDTS1TB-D8 is a 1TB internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops with an M.2 2280 slot. It uses 3D NAND flash and an InnoGrit IG5216 controller to deliver NVMe 1.4 performance for everyday computing and intensive workloads.

Sustained write behaviour

The drive is rated for up to 2900 MBps sequential write and 343000 IOPS random write, with 500TB total bytes written and 1500000 hours MTBF. MEDS data protection, fourth-generation LDPC ECC and end-to-end data path protection maintain integrity during long transfers and heavy multi-tasking.

Compatibility check

Verify your motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCIe Gen3 x4 and NVMe 1.4 support. Confirm the BIOS or UEFI recognises NVMe boot drives and that a 1TB capacity fits your partition scheme and operating system requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.3 W idle draw keep the MKNSSDTS1TB-D8 cool during all-day workloads?

The drive idles at 0.3 W and uses the InnoGrit IG5216 controller with a low-power design, so heat output stays minimal even under sustained PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.4 operation.

What motherboard slot is required for the M.2 2280 form factor of this Tempest SSD?

You need an M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCIe Gen3 x4 to run the drive at its rated 3300 MBps read and 2900 MBps write speeds.

Will the PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface work on an older board limited to PCIe Gen2 speeds?

The drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen2 slots, but sequential reads will be capped below the advertised 3300 MBps and writes below 2900 MBps.
