Kingston's 480GB M.2 SATA G2 SSD is a thin and compact, case-less internal solid state drive that combines high capacity with low power consumption to provide a reliable caching device or primary storage for both the operating system and applications. It is suitable for desktop motherboards that use the Intel 9x chipset and popular small-form-factor (SFF) PCs including ultra-books, notebooks and tablets. The 480GB M.2 2280 SATA G2 SSD easily integrates into designs with M.2 connectors and is ideal for system builders and DIY end users.
With lighter weight than a cased SSD, the 480GB M.2 SATA G2 SSD optimises performance with advanced garbage collection, wear-levelling and TRIM support to keep performance consistent over the life of the drive. DevSleep, a recent addition to the SATA specification, is an efficient power management option that minimises power consumption and extends battery life. Firmware-based power-loss protection maintains data integrity and ensures that data in the cache is constantly flushed and hardened to NAND to enable the drive to recover in the event of an unsafe shutdown.
