VisionTek DLX3 256GB NVMe SSD

The VisionTek DLX3 901554 is a 256GB internal SSD built on the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface using the NVMe 1.3 protocol. The drive targets professionals, gamers and everyday users who need fast solid-state storage for consumer workloads.

Check motherboard M.2 slot and OS support

Verify that your motherboard provides an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.3. The drive uses 3D NAND flash and an InnoGrit IG5216 controller with SLC caching but no DRAM cache. TCG Opal v2.01 encryption is supported for data security. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.

Sustained load behaviour and power draw

Under continuous operation the controller manages thermal limits within the 0°C to 70°C window. Active power draw reaches 4.75W while idle consumption sits at 0.3W. Sequential speeds of up to 3300 MBps read and 2900 MBps write are peak figures; prolonged heavy writes will settle at the controller's sustained throughput after SLC cache exhaustion.

Questions about this item

Does the 901554 ship with a heatsink or mounting screw, or do I need to buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare M.2 2280 module; a motherboard standoff screw and any heatsink must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 256GB DLX3 or step up to a larger capacity for the InnoGrit IG5216 controller?

The 256GB model delivers the same 3300 MBps read and 2900 MBps write peaks as higher capacities, so select capacity based on storage need rather than speed.

Will the advertised 3300 MBps sequential read hold up in a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot under everyday workloads?

The 3300 MBps figure is the controller ceiling on a PCIe 3.0 x4 link; real-world throughput will vary with thermal conditions, queue depth and file sizes.
