M.2 2280 2TB NVMe SSD

The Mushkin Enhanced Tempest MKNSSDTS2TB-D8 is a 2TB internal solid state drive built for consumer workloads. It uses 3D NAND flash and an InnoGrit IG5216 controller in an M.2 2280 form factor. The drive targets users who need fast sequential and random access for intensive computing tasks.

PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface limits

The drive connects through a PCIe Gen3 x4 lane configuration using the NVMe 1.4 protocol. This interface caps theoretical bandwidth below newer Gen4 or Gen5 standards, so maximum throughput is bounded by the Gen3 electrical specification. Performance scales with the host platform's PCIe generation support.

Verify M.2 slot wiring and BIOS support

Confirm the motherboard provides an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe NVMe operation and that the BIOS recognises NVMe 1.4 drives as boot devices. The controller requires no external DRAM cache, so the slot must supply sufficient power for sustained 3250 MBps reads and 2900 MBps writes. Check firmware update availability for the IG5216 controller.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive fit my laptop or motherboard slot?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, which is the standard 80 mm length for most modern laptops and desktops. Verify your device has an M-keyed M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe before purchasing.

Does this SSD require a separate heatsink for heavy workloads?

The drive is a single-sided M.2 2280 module with no bundled heatsink. Many motherboards include integrated M.2 shields that provide adequate cooling; if yours does not, an aftermarket heatsink can be added.

What endurance rating does the 2 TB model offer for long-term writes?

The drive is rated for 1000 TBW (terabytes written) and an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours, indicating it can sustain heavy daily write workloads for several years in typical consumer use.
