Verbatim Vi3000 256GB PCIe Gen3 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD

The Verbatim Vi3000 is a 256 GB M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built on PCIe Gen 3 NVMe technology. By using the NVMe protocol over a PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface, the Vi3000 delivers sequential read speeds of up to 3,100 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,300 MB/s — substantially faster than traditional SATA-based SSDs, which are typically limited to around 550 MB/s. Random read IOPS reach up to 100,000 and random write IOPS up to 10,000, which contributes to snappier application launches, quicker boot times, and more responsive multitasking under real-world workloads. The M.2 2280 form factor (22 mm wide, 80 mm long) makes the Vi3000 compatible with a wide range of laptops, desktop motherboards, and small-form-factor systems that include an M.2 NVMe slot. Because it has no moving mechanical parts, the drive is inherently resistant to shock and vibration that could otherwise interrupt or corrupt data on a spinning hard disk. This also contributes to a quieter, cooler operating profile compared to traditional HDDs. Verbatim backs the Vi3000 with a 5-year warranty, indicating confidence in long-term reliability for everyday computing, content creation, video editing, and gaming workloads that require sustained high-throughput storage access.
