VERBATIM Vi3000 128GB M.2 NVME Gen3 Solid State Drive (SSD)

The Verbatim Vi3000 128GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 Internal SSD is designed to deliver a meaningful performance uplift over legacy SATA drives, making it a practical upgrade for desktops and laptops equipped with an M.2 2280 slot. Leveraging a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and the NVMe 1.3 protocol, the Vi3000 can reach sequential read speeds of up to 3,100 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2,900 MB/s, enabling noticeably faster boot times, quicker application launches, and more responsive everyday computing. The drive is built with 3D TLC NAND flash technology, a mature storage architecture that layers memory cells vertically to increase density while helping manage heat and power draw. Low power consumption is a stated design characteristic, which can be beneficial in notebook systems where battery life matters. The drive operates silently — there are no moving parts, and no spin-up noise — and the solid-state construction provides inherent shock resistance compared to traditional hard drives. At the M.2 2280 form factor (80 mm length), the Vi3000 fits the most common M.2 slot found across mainstream motherboards and laptops. The compact physical footprint — 3.15 in × 0.87 in × 0.09 in — and low weight make installation straightforward, though professional installation is recommended for users unfamiliar with internal storage upgrades.
