Apacer AS2280Q4U 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD

The Apacer AS2280Q4U 1TB is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD in the M.2 2280 size, built for gamers and creators who want top-tier load times. Apacer rates the 1TB model at up to 7300 MB/s sequential read and 6000 MB/s sequential write, roughly twice the speed of a typical Gen3 drive.

Your choice: with or without heat sink

A metal heat sink comes in the box. Fit it for a desktop motherboard or a PlayStation 5, where Apacer says it can lower drive temperature by up to 35%. Leave it off and the bare drive is only 2.25 mm thick, so it slides into most laptops with a Gen4 M.2 slot.

Ready for PS5 and PC

• Meets Sony's M.2 SSD requirements for PS5 storage expansion
• NVMe 1.4 with 3D NAND flash
• Up to 750K / 1000K random read/write IOPS
• 750 TB written endurance and 1.6 million hours MTBF

On a PCIe Gen3 system the drive still works, but at Gen3 speeds. Apacer covers it with a 5-year warranty or the rated TBW, whichever comes first.
