EVM 256GB M.2 SATA Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The EVM 256GB M.2 2242 SATA Solid State Drive brings meaningful speed and reliability to laptops and compact desktops that use the M.2 2242 form factor. Built on 3D TLC NAND flash technology, this drive delivers sequential read speeds of up to 530 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 480 MB/s over a SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, making everyday tasks such as booting the operating system, launching applications, and transferring large files noticeably faster than a traditional spinning hard drive. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the drive draws only 0.195 W at idle and averages 0.5 W during typical use, which helps preserve battery life in laptops. Its compact 2242 M.2 footprint — measuring approximately 50.8 mm × 29.85 mm × 4.85 mm and weighing just 6.7 g — makes it a suitable choice for ultra-compact builds, mini-PCs, and older notebooks that accept the shorter 2242 M.2 card. The drive operates reliably in temperatures from 0 °C to 70 °C and can be stored safely across a wide range of −40 °C to 85 °C. EVM rates the drive for up to 100 TB of total bytes written (TBW), providing a clear indication of long-term endurance for a consumer workload. The included 5-year warranty underlines the brand's confidence in the product's durability. Pairing this SSD with compatible EVM DDR4 or DDR5 RAM can further accelerate system responsiveness for everyday computing and light productivity workflows.
