Kingston SM2280S3G2-480G User Manual
SSDNow M.2 SATA G2 Drive
Next-generation SSD technology.
Kingston’s M.2 SATA G2 SSD is a thin and compact, caseless internal solid-
state drive that combines high capacity with low power consumption
to serve as a reliable caching device or primary storage for the O/S and
applications. Suitable for desktop motherboards that use the Intel 9x chipset
and popular small-form-factor (SFF) PCs including ultrabooks, notebooks
and tablets, the M.2 2280 SATA G2 SSD easily integrates into designs with
M.2 connectors and is ideal for system builders and DIY end users.
Lighter weight than a cased SSD, the 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 specication, is an ecient 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 ushed and hardened to
NAND to enable the drive to recover in the event of an unsafe shutdown.
