About this product
The MS30 512GB SATA III Solid State Drive is an internal SSD featuring an M.2 2280 form factor, designed to upgrade storage in compatible desktops and laptops. It provides 512GB of capacity with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface, boasting a read speed of 530 MB/s. This black SSD utilizes 3D NAND TLC enclosure material and includes support for Intel's SRT and S.M.A.R.T. functions, making it a compact and capable storage solution.
Our take
This MS30 512GB M.2 2280 SSD offers a compact and efficient storage upgrade for laptops and desktops that support the M.2 SATA form factor. With 512GB of capacity, it's suitable for an operating system and a healthy collection of applications or games. The 530 MB/s read speed via the SATA III interface ensures quick boot times and application loading. The 3D NAND TLC construction is a modern touch, and features like S.M.A.R.T. support are good for drive health monitoring. However, for a SATA-based M.2 drive, the price point seems a bit high, especially when compared to NVMe options that offer significantly faster performance.
