  • Device TypeInternal / External Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • 1 TB capacity stores games and large files
  • PCIe Gen4 x4 interface enables 7,430 MB/s sequential reads
  • NVMe 1.4 protocol supports 5,300 MB/s sequential writes
  • InnoGrit IG5236 controller manages data flow efficiently
  • M.2 2280 form factor fits PS5 and desktop slots

Capacity and Interface

This Mushkin Enhanced Vortex drive delivers 1TB of storage through a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface. It fits the standard M.2 2280 slot found in modern desktop motherboards and compatible laptops. The InnoGrit IG5236 controller manages sequential reads up to 7,430 MB/s and writes up to 5,300 MB/s.

Build Integration

Installation requires a single M.2 2280 slot with PCIe Gen4 support to reach the rated speeds. The drive draws power directly from the motherboard, so no extra cables or power connectors are needed. Using a Gen4 slot frees up older Gen3 lanes for other peripherals while keeping the primary storage path at full bandwidth.

Bundled Value

The package includes the solid-state drive itself and a three-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. No additional software, heatsinks, mounting screws or cloning utilities are supplied in the box. Buyers who want drive-management tools or thermal pads will need to source those separately.

Questions about this item

Will the 7,430 MB/s sequential read speed hold during a long gaming session?

The drive is rated for a max read of 7,430 MB/s and a max write of 5,300 MB/s; sustained performance will depend on system cooling and workload intensity.

How hot or loud does the M.2 2280 drive get under all-day use?

The SSD has no moving parts so it produces no noise; heat output varies with the InnoGrit IG5236 controller load and the motherboard or PS5 heatsink used.

Does my motherboard need a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 slot to run this NVMe drive?

Yes, the drive uses a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor; a compatible keyed slot is required for operation.
