  • Low 3.5 W peak power draw suits power-constrained systems

Form factor 2242 for embedded builds

This M.2 2242 NVMe SSD targets commercial and industrial embedded systems that need a compact 42 mm length. It uses 3D TLC NAND rated for 3K program/erase cycles and delivers 512 GB of storage in a single-sided design.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The drive operates between 0 °C and 70 °C and survives storage down to -40 °C and up to 85 °C with 5 % to 95 % humidity. Peak power draw is 3.5 W at 3.3 V ± 5 %. Vibration resistance reaches 2.17 G across 10 Hz to 700 Hz during operation.

Bundled items and software effects

No accessories or software are included with this bare drive. The firmware and labelling are fixed for the Japanese market and cannot be changed to another language. Compatibility with non-Japanese embedded platforms is not guaranteed by the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M.2 2242 NVMe SSD in an embedded device, and what step is often missed?

Insert the 42 mm module into an M-key slot at 2242-D2-B-M spacing, secure it with the retaining screw, and verify the host supplies 3.3 V ±5 % — many builders forget the voltage tolerance check.

What maintenance or replacement will the 512 GB drive need later?

The 3D TLC NAND is rated for 3 K program-erase cycles; monitor SMART health attributes and plan replacement once the endurance indicator approaches its limit.

What limit appears first under sustained write workloads?

Sequential write tops out at 1250 MB/s and the controller will throttle if the drive temperature reaches 70 °C.
