🏆 GEN4x4 2TB Standout

2TB: 7,000 MB/s read / 6,500 MB/s write. Most M.2 2230 Gen4 products reach 5,000–5,500 MB/s. Significantly above market at this form factor.

⚠ GEN3x4 256GB Note

256GB write is 1,200 MB/s. 512GB and above achieve 2,400–3,000 MB/s. Select 512GB+ for sustained write-intensive workloads.
