What this drive is and who it serves

The Timetec 512GB M.2 2280 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD uses 3D NAND QLC flash with an SLC cache to deliver sequential reads up to 520 MB/s and writes up to 480 MB/s. It fits desktops and laptops that accept a 2280 SATA module and is backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I ports. The drive supports TRIM, S.M.A.R.T., garbage collection, wear levelling, ECC and power-saving features.

Who should buy and who should not

This SSD suits users upgrading a SATA-based M.2 slot in a notebook or desktop who want faster boot and application response than a mechanical drive. It is not suitable for systems whose M.2 keying or chipset provides only PCIe signalling, because the drive communicates exclusively over the SATA protocol.

The spec that decides fit

The decisive specification is the SATA III 6Gb/s interface combined with the M.2 2280 form factor; the motherboard must expose a SATA-wired M.2 slot for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Timetec 512GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD is running at its rated 520 MB/s read speed after installation?

Use a benchmark tool like CrystalDiskMark to run a sequential read test; a result near 520 MB/s confirms the drive is operating at its specified SATA III performance level.

What comes with the Timetec 512GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD and what must I supply myself?

The box contains only the M.2 2280 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD itself; you must provide any mounting screw, bracket, or data/power cables required by your specific laptop or desktop.

Which Timetec M.2 SATA SSD capacity should I pick if I want the 512GB model with 3D NAND QLC and up to 520 MB/s read speed?

Choose the 512GB version listed; it uses 3D NAND QLC with SLC cache and delivers the stated sequential read up to 520 MB/s and write up to 480 MB/s over the SATA III interface.
