ADDLINK S70 256GB M.2 NVME Gen3 Internal Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Addlink S70 256GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 Internal SSD (model AD256GBS70M2P) is a compact, high-performance storage upgrade designed for laptops, ultrabooks, desktops, and compatible Chromebooks. Operating over a PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe 1.3 interface, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s, measured via CrystalDiskMark internal testing — actual speeds vary by device, interface, and workload. For randomised workloads, the drive achieves 4K random read/write performance of 220K/320K IOPS, making it well-suited for multitasking, game loading, and data-intensive creative applications. The S70 256GB uses 3D NAND flash memory paired with DDR3L/DDR4L DRAM cache, providing a dependable combination of speed and data integrity over the drive’s lifetime. A comprehensive suite of firmware-level data protection features is built in, including SLC caching, LDPC ECC, Wear Leveling, Bad Block Management, Over-Provisioning, Garbage Collection, TRIM, DEVSLP, S.M.A.R.T monitoring, and RAID Protection — all working together to maintain consistent performance and prolong drive lifespan. At 80 × 22 × 3.5 mm and weighing just 8.2 g, this M.2 2280 form-factor drive fits the standard slot found in most modern laptops and desktop motherboards. Power consumption during read and write operations is rated at 5.1 W and 3.1 W respectively, helping to preserve battery life in portable systems. The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 70 °C, with storage rated between −40 °C and 85 °C. Endurance is rated at 400 TBW (terabytes written) with an MTBF of 1.8 million hours, and the drive is backed by a 5-year warranty (or 400 TBW, whichever comes first). It is compatible with Intel and AMD platforms running Windows 7 (additional driver required), Windows 8 (additional driver required), Windows 10, and Linux Kernel 2.6.31 or later.
