512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive for consumer PCs

The Mushkin Enhanced Vortex MKNSSDVT512GB-D8 is a 512GB internal solid-state drive built for everyday computing workloads. It uses 3D NAND flash and an InnoGrit IG5236 controller to deliver up to 6750 MBps sequential read and 2635 MBps sequential write speeds. Random performance reaches 200000 IOPS read and 645000 IOPS write.

M.2 2280 form factor with on-board data protection

The single-sided M.2 2280 module plugs directly into a compatible motherboard slot without cables or brackets. MEDS and fourth-generation LDPC ECC protect stored data, while end-to-end data path protection and global wear-levelling extend the drive’s 250TB written endurance. Idle power drops to .1W and active draw peaks at 7W with L1.2 support.

Verify motherboard slot and firmware before ordering

Confirm your board provides an M.2 socket wired for PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 operation; some sockets share lanes with other devices and may limit bandwidth. Check that the system BIOS or UEFI is current enough to recognise the controller and enable features such as NVMe Deallocate and Security Erase. Ensure adequate airflow over the module if the slot sits beneath a graphics card.

Questions about this item

What speed does the PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface cap at on this drive?

The interface supports up to 6750 MBps sequential read and 2635 MBps sequential write on the MKNSSDVT512GB-D8.

What physical slot and screw spacing does the M.2 2280 form factor require?

It fits a standard M.2 2280 slot — 22 mm wide, 80 mm long — secured by a single motherboard standoff screw.

How is the drive installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 slot, press flat, and fasten the standoff screw; many forget to enable the NVMe controller in BIOS before cloning or installing an OS.
