What this 1TB M.2 2230 SSD does

This 1TB M.2 2230 internal SSD uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 protocol. It fits handheld consoles such as Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally plus ultrabooks and mini PCs. A 1GB DRAM cache supports sustained throughput for games and everyday workloads.

PCIe 4.0 x4 limits to expect

The PCIe 4.0 x4 link caps sequential read at 5000 MBps and write at 3500 MBps. Real-world speeds depend on the host controller, thermal conditions and firmware. The drive has no heatsink so sustained loads may throttle in tight chassis without airflow.

Check your M.2 2230 slot first

Verify the device has an M.2 2230 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe. Confirm the BIOS or firmware supports NVMe 1.4 boot. Ensure physical clearance for a single-sided 2230 module and that no screw standoff blocks installation.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1TB VP4000 Mini or a larger capacity?

The 1TB model gives you up to 5,000MB/s read and 3,500MB/s write with 1GB DRAM cache in the compact 2230 form factor; larger capacities share the same speeds and controller.

What do the 5,000MB/s read and 3,500MB/s write figures mean once the drive is installed?

They are the maximum sequential speeds over PCIe 4.0 x4; real-world game loads and file copies will be lower but still well above PCIe 3.0 limits.

Does the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface cap performance in a Steam Deck or ROG Ally?

The drive runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.4; handhelds that only support PCIe 3.0 x4 will limit sequential throughput to roughly 3,500MB/s read.
