ADDLINK X70 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen3 Internal Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Addlink X70 1TB is a performance-oriented M.2 NVMe internal solid-state drive built for demanding workloads such as gaming, photo editing, video production, and 3D animation. It uses the NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 (NVMe 1.3) interface with four lanes operating simultaneously to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s. Random 4K performance is rated at 500,000 IOPS read and 680,000 IOPS write, reducing load times and application latency compared to SATA drives. Storage is handled by 3D TLC NAND flash, which balances capacity, endurance, and power efficiency. The drive carries a rated endurance of 1,600 TBW (terabytes written) and an MTBF of 1.8 million hours, backed by a 5-year warranty (subject to the 1,600 TBW limit, whichever comes first). A notable feature of the X70 is its integrated metal heatsink with a diamond-cut finish. The heatsink actively dissipates heat during sustained workloads, helping the drive stay within its 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature range. The unit also includes a fully customizable RGB lighting system compatible with major motherboard RGB-sync ecosystems, making it suitable for windowed or open chassis builds. The drive adheres to the standard M.2 2280 form factor (80 mm × 20 mm × 9.1 mm, 20 g) and fits any motherboard with an M.2 slot supporting PCIe Gen3. Power consumption is 4.6 W during reads and 4.5 W during writes. Supported firmware functions include TRIM, DEVSLP, Garbage Collection, ECC, S.M.A.R.T., SLC Caching, Wear Leveling, Bad Block Management, Over-Provisioning, and RAID Protection. Compatible operating systems include Windows 10 natively, Windows 7 and 8 with additional drivers, and Linux Kernel 2.6.31 or later.
